Description

This charming detached Cotswold stone cottage, formerly three separate dwellings and believed to date back to the 18th century, offers an exceptional blend of period character and modern comfort. Rich in traditional features, including exposed beams, flagstone flooring, solid oak latch and brace doors and an impressive inglenook fireplace, the property has been tastefully decorated throughout in a neutral palette. Well proportioned accommodation provides excellent versatility, with further potential to extend if desired.

The front door opens into a welcoming living room, showcasing original flagstone flooring, exposed beams, a window to the front and a feature stone fireplace with wood burning stove. This versatile space works beautifully as a dining hall or additional sitting room. A door leads to the rear hallway, with cloakroom and access to the rear terrace. To the right of the living room is the elegant sitting room, enjoying a dual aspect with a single window to the front. The impressive inglenook fireplace with exposed stone creates a warm and inviting focal point for this generous space. To the left, the kitchen/breakfast room features stone tiled flooring, country style shaker cabinetry, exposed beams and a characterful alcove with shelving. Enjoying views both to the front and rear, it provides ample room for informal dining and entertaining. A door leads to the utility room, which in turn opens to the rear courtyard terrace.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where the landing leads to the principal bedroom: a bright, well proportioned room with windows to both front and rear, bespoke built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The second double bedroom features a front aspect and built in wardrobe. Along the landing are two useful storage cupboards, one housing the electric boiler and hot water cylinder. The third double bedroom includes a front aspect, built in wardrobe and feature alcove. Opposite is the family bathroom, fitted with an L shaped bath and shower over, Amtico wood effect flooring, WC and wash hand basin, with a window to the rear.

Outside
Approached via a private gated driveway, the property offers a charming rear courtyard terrace and a generous lawned garden beyond. Positioned within walking distance of this historic market town’s amenities, it provides both privacy and convenience. The terrace creates an attractive spot for alfresco dining, with steps leading up to the gravel driveway and further steps rising to the garden. Beautifully landscaped and well screened by mature trees, including fig, cherry, laburnum, gum, magnolia, evergreens and silver birch, the garden offers excellent privacy and year round interest. Pathways lead to a vegetable garden and two stone outbuildings. With its secluded feel and varied planting, the garden will appeal to families, keen gardeners and anyone seeking a peaceful outdoor space.
