Situated on the pretty Gloucestershire/Wiltshire border about half a mile east of the popular village of Long Newnton, Gilboa House enjoys an excellent country position with far-reaching views. Designed by the vendors, using Cotswold stone with hand-burnt Siberian Larch cladding, and expansive glass doors to create a stylish, naturally light and brilliant contemporary country home.

In addition, an entrance hall, study, snug, WC, utility/boot room.
