Situated at the end of a narrow rural lane, this truly delightful detached Cotswold stone cottage occupies a level plot extending to around 0.75 of an acre with views across fields and charm in abundance. Having been in the same ownership for over 40 years, the property would now benefit from a sensitive programme of modernisation and improvement with plenty of scope to be extended (subject to permissions).

The principal ground floor accommodation is comprised of a kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired AGA range, a spacious dining room with open fireplace and a 26' sitting room with a patio door opening to the garden. On the first floor the prinicipal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the accommodation. A large utility room, boot room/conservatory and cloakroom complete the accommodation.

Outside

Around the cottage are well-stocked gardens with paths weaving between shrub borders and specimen plants as well as an ornamental pond. To one side, a small lawn is surrounded by hedges with a gate leading into a productive orchard with a vegetable plot sheltered by clipped hedges. There is off road parking for several cars with a stone out-building offering garaging and 4 stables/storage rooms.

Situation

The Scrubs is a truly rural hamlet at the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated at the end of a lane and with only one close neighbour, the house is surrounded by open countryside and woodlands with walks and riding from the doorstep.
