An immaculately presented, and deceptively spacious, extended Cotswold stone detached cottage on the outskirts of Uley village. Dating back to 1810 Holly Cottage has been sympathetically restored and extended by the current owners to now offer beautifully balanced and generously proportioned accommodation over two floors.

The hamlet of Shadwell is a well-regarded no-through lane flanked by farmland and boasting magnificent views of Lampern Wood and the Cotswold Escarpment. This location benefits from a network of popular footpaths and bridlepaths across wonderful countryside, and a thriving community spirit, while the village itself is a comfortable 20 minute walk away.

The ground floor has a useful entrance porch with stone flooring and solid timber doors leading into the sitting room which is a cosy room with a log-burning stove, beautifully restored dressers, and a wonderful outlook across neighbouring farmland. The adjoining drawing room shares this wonderful outlook and also benefits from a log-burning stove and stunning original cabinetry.

A corridor to the rear with flagstone flooring provides access to the kitchen, dining room and conservatory. The dining room has good proportions and lends itself well to formal dining. The kitchen has been cleverly designed to connect with the conservatory to create a very bright and sociable space overlooking the garden. The kitchen itself was designed and fitted by local designer Jonathan Randall and offers a range of good-quality solid wooden bespoke units with granite worksurfaces, a double Belfast sink and trademark larder unit. A feature has been made of the worksurface between the kitchen and conservatory providing both a convivial and curvaceous breakfast bar and all-important preparation space. A door to the rear of the kitchen leads to the cellar/workshop which is accessed via a stone staircase and has a convenient doorway to the front of the property, this is a useful space with potential for conversion.

The atrium-style conservatory is the heart of this home, a wonderfully light and comfortable space with lovely garden views, French doors onto the patio, and underfloor heating. A stable door leads into the good-size utility room which in turn leads to the cloakroom/WC, and has a door to the rear garden.
