The Old Quarry

A beautifully presented Cotswold stone home offering generous space, versatile living, and sweeping countryside views. Nestled within the desirable hamlet of Arlington, just a short stroll from Bibury’s famous river, 2 The Old Quarry is a beautifully maintained Cotswold stone home that has been cherished by the same family for more than three decades. Arranged over three spacious floors, it combines traditional charm with everyday practicality. With a newly refurbished kitchen, generous living space, and a superb south-facing garden backing directly onto fields, this is a truly special property in excellent condition - offering both character and exciting scope for future adaptation. The property’s versatile layout is perfectly suited to modern family life, while also allowing flexibility for future reconfiguration or extension. Many neighbouring homes have successfully adapted their layouts to suit changing needs, including garage conversions, loft rooms, and the creation of alternative parking or garden spaces - testament to the scale and potential this house offers. Step inside and you’ll find warmth and character in every room. The middle floor, accessed at ground level from the front, features a welcoming entrance hallway with cloakroom, a generous main living room enjoying three aspects and exposed beams, and an impressive open fireplace forming the heart of the home. A separate study overlooks the rear garden and open countryside beyond - an ideal spot for home working, hobbies, or quiet reading. On the lower ground floor lies a superb kitchen and dining room. Completely refurbished in March 2025, it features new electrics, plumbing, cabinetry, and integrated appliances - including a double oven, induction hob, full sized fridge and dishwasher - all in a timeless, neutral tone that feels fresh yet classic. This level also includes access to a very large integral garage with plumbing for laundry, currently serving as a practical utility and storage area. The kitchen and garage flow onto a large, paved patio and parking area, creating a seamless connection between house and garden that’s ideal for entertaining and family life. Upstairs, the top floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms - two comfortable doubles and one single — each enjoying tranquil views and natural light. The family bathroom completes this level, offering calm and functionality in equal measure. Outside, the home continues to delight. The rear garden is a particular highlight: private, mature, and generous in scale, with a beautiful south-facing orientation that fills the space with sunshine throughout the day. The garden backs directly onto open countryside, offering uninterrupted views and a gate providing access to local walks and meadows. It includes a large patio ideal for summer dining, a metal and glass greenhouse, and plenty of room for growing fruit and vegetables, surrounded by borders framed in greenery. To the front, a pretty Cotswold stone wall encloses a lawned garden. Of special note are the elegant, aluminium, stone mullioned windows that flood this house with natural light and frame stunning views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Peaceful yet well connected, Arlington offers a quieter, more authentic experience of Bibury life - with the soothing sound of birdsong and the River Coln as everyday companions. The village still thrives as a working community, home to a primary school, shop, cafés, Bibury Trout Farm, and The Catherine Wheel; a highly regarded traditional pub. This is a gorgeous, substantial Cotswold home - full of warmth, character, and opportunity - ready to welcome its next chapter.
