A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED COTSWOLD STONE HOUSE WITH PRETTY GARDENS, PARKING AND SITUATED IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE OF STANTON.

Little Orchard is a fine and imposing house, built primarily of Cotswold stone, and set well back from the village road in a slightly elevated position. Originally identical to the adjoining thatched cottage, the property was significantly altered and extended in the 1960s. More recently, it has been comprehensively updated, including the addition of a stylish open-plan kitchen with vaulted ceilings that opens onto the rear courtyard garden. All rooms enjoy a light, airy, and spacious feel, including two generous reception rooms. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, along with a separate shower room.

Little Orchard is approached through wooden gates that open onto a gravelled parking area, enclosed by traditional Cotswold stone walling. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and features mature herbaceous borders, shrubs, and young trees-including an impressive magnolia that provides shade to the raised terrace. At the rear, there is a paved terrace with a raised border and further Cotswold stone walling.

Stanton is widely regarded as one of the most charming villages in the North Cotswolds lying within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has The Mount Inn at the top of the High Street, a cricket ground, equestrian riding school, village hall and fine C12 parish church. Nearby there is Stanway House with its 300ft naturally fed fountain and the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway. Everyday amenities can be found in Broadway, about 4 miles, and more comprehensive facilities in Cheltenham about 11 miles. Stanton is well placed for access for communication, with the A44 and M40 providing access to London (90 miles), and the M5 (Jct 9: 10 miles) providing access to the West Country and Birmingham. There is a mainline train service at Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington. Racing is at Cheltenham, Stratford and Worcester and there is an equestrian livery yard in the village. Some of the best schools in the country for both boys and girls are found in nearby Cheltenham and Malvern. There are theatres at Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Oxford. The surrounding countryside offers a number of attractive walks and rides. Houses are traditionally built of beautiful Cotswold stone which, with its warm honey colour, elegantly complements the beauty of the natural surroundings.
