Grade II listed Artisan Hall is a truly unique Cotswold stone property, peacefully located at the end of a lane, opposite the beautiful church of St Andrew's, in the village of Toddington.
The hall is the largest part of what was originally the stable block for the nearby Toddington Manor, a very imposing, grade I listed manor house, built in the 19th century by Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 1st Baron Sudeley, whose marble family tombs can be seen in the church.
Toddington Manor is now owned by Damien Hirst, the renowned artist, who is restoring it to use as a gallery for his works.
The village of Toddington is peacefully located, in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold countryside, just four miles from Winchcombe, six miles from Broadway and 11 miles from Stow-on-the-Wold, making Artisan Hall well placed for exploring the surrounding countryside or visiting the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds.
Artisan Hall has many unique character features, with the centrepiece of the property undoubtedly being the large grand hall, which was once the village hall.
The owner has furnished this Cotswold stone walled room in an interesting, eclectic style, including a Bedouin tent, free-standing hammock and a large wood-burning stove in the hall.
There are many other character features throughout the property, including stone mullion windows, wooden and flagstone floors, oak beams and two further real fires.
The unique character of the hall is complemented by its modern facilities, including wireless internet access, and a flatscreen TV.
The hall sleeps a maximum of eight people, in four bedrooms, with two bathrooms (one en-suite).
There is a lovely, enclosed garden in front of the hall, overlooking the beautiful local church and off-street parking is available for a number of cars.
