Description

Originally constructed in the 1930s, The Limes is a striking 3,800 sq ft family home that has been subject to a wealth of improvements. Three extensions, a stunning open plan kitchen and an outdoor pool and pool house have created a wonderfully spacious and versatile home, while a full cosmetic refurbishment has future proofed the timeless interiors for many years to come. One highlight is the magnificent view to the front, which reveals a wonderfully green vista over the Cotswold Hills. A further benefit is the detached and entirely self-contained pool house/annexe, which has an open plan kitchen/living space with bifold doors onto the pool area, a shower room and two double bedrooms – the ideal guest suite for visiting family and friends, as well as summer days around the swimming pool.

The house is appointed to a very high standard and offers plenty of potential for personalisation by the new owner. On the ground floor there are four sizeable reception rooms at the front of the house: a formal sitting room, a dining room, substantial family room and a wonderfully light and airy conservatory. The dining room is open plan to the kitchen which is appointed with Neptune cabinetry and lit from above by a roof lantern. In addition there is a cosy snug, a home office and a utility room, plus two cloakrooms. Upstairs, all bedrooms are well proportioned and two are en suite, while the other two bedrooms share a family bath/shower room. There are a further two bedrooms (one en suite) on the second floor, with an additional room which would lend itself well to a playroom or interlinking bedroom creating a wonderful children’s floor.

Outside
The Limes enjoys an elevated position in the hamlet of Coombe; the front of the house faces south and has wide, far-reaching views towards Tor Hill opposite and Wotton-under-Edge. A gated entrance opens to a block-paved driveway which sweeps up to a substantial parking area to the front of the house and a detached garage with a first-floor storage space, presently used as a gym, offering excellent renovation potential. The gardens envelop the house and work with the contours of the hill, including rolling lawns, a paddock, stable, tack room, mature trees, established flowerbeds and a pond with water feature. To the northeast of the house, a terrace surrounds the outdoor swimming pool which is wonderfully private, sheltered from the elements by the landscape creating a fabulous sun trap of a space for entertaining.
