The home

Cherished by the same family for more than 30 years, 2 The Old Quarry is a beautifully presented Cotswold stone home in the hamlet of Arlington, Bibury. Its three-storey layout brings together characterful living spaces, a recently refurbished kitchen and three bedrooms, complemented by a generous south-facing garden with open countryside views.

Exposed beams, an open fireplace and stone-mullioned windows with aluminium frames give the house its distinctive character. A separate study, large integral garage and parking add practical space for family life and working from home.

Living space

The front entrance opens at ground level onto the middle floor, where a welcoming hallway leads to a cloakroom, the main living room and a separate study.

The generous triple-aspect living room enjoys plenty of natural light, with exposed beams and an impressive open fireplace providing a focal point. The study looks across the rear garden towards the countryside, making it an inviting setting for home working, reading or hobbies.

Kitchen and lower ground floor

The bespoke kitchen, made by Byron Kitchens of Burford, was fully refurbished in March 2025, including new electrics, plumbing and cabinetry. Finished in a timeless neutral palette, it includes integrated appliances comprising a double oven, induction hob, full-size fridge and dishwasher.

This floor also provides access to the large integral garage, currently used for utility and storage space, with plumbing for laundry appliances. Both the kitchen and garage open onto the rear paved patio and parking area, providing convenient access to the garden.

Bedrooms and bathroom

The upper floor has three well-proportioned bedrooms: two doubles and one single. Each enjoys natural light and a peaceful outlook. A family bathroom serves all three rooms.

Gardens and parking

The mature, south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight. Generous in size and backing directly onto fields, it offers open countryside views, established planting and space to relax, entertain and grow your own produce.

A large paved patio provides room for outdoor dining, while a metal-and-glass greenhouse and vegetable-growing space will appeal to keen gardeners. A gate at the rear opens towards local walks and meadows.

At the front, a Cotswold stone wall encloses a lawned garden. The rear driveway, reached via a shared private road, provides parking for at least two cars, with additional parking at the front of the house.

Arlington and Bibury

Situated in Arlington, the home is a short stroll from the River Coln and Bibury’s familiar village setting. Local amenities include a primary school, shop, cafés, Bibury Trout Farm and The Catherine Wheel pub, with countryside walks adding to the appeal of the location.

Combining a village setting with generous outdoor space, this is a characterful Cotswold home with the flexibility for everyday family life.

In the owners’ words

“Looking back, what strikes us most is how generously this home has given to our family—space to grow, places to gather, quiet corners to think, and a lifetime of memories.”
