The Property
Nestled high on a wooded hillside with breath-taking views across the Golden Valley, this distinctive Cotswold home combines charm, character and flexibility in equal measure. Extending to around 2,357 sq. ft. and set in over half an acre of mature, private gardens, it enjoys a peaceful position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The current owners have enhanced the property with a superbly fitted kitchen and created an additional living room with home office. Today, the house offers scope for up to six bedrooms, though it is currently arranged as four bedrooms, a home office and three reception rooms. Full of personality, the interiors feature reclaimed details, oak floors and staircases, wood-burning stoves, and numerous French doors linking inside spaces with the gardens, terraces and valley beyond. Neutral white décor enhances natural light, creating bright, airy accommodation. The approach is via an open porch with a basic store, leading into a wide reception hall with cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is a cook’s dream, fitted with stylish units and many built-in appliances, with a picture window framing rolling hills. Wide steps open into a spacious dining room, warmed by a wood burner, with doors out to a delightful private courtyard. Above, the principal sitting room makes the most of the light and views, opening to a balcony overlooking the valley. A further living room lies beyond, with French doors to the garden, while the home office sits neatly behind. A mezzanine landing provides an ideal study nook and leads to a double bedroom and a utility/drying room with vaulted ceiling. The top floor hosts the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes, valley views and ensuite bathroom, alongside two further doubles and a family bathroom. Property Information: Ofsted: Broadband -Standard. Mobile Good indoor and out. Shared septic tank. Gas central heating & woodburning stove. Parking – plenty of off road parking. Drive – neighbour has vehicular access.
Outside
Tucked away along a country lane that winds up the hillside, the property enjoys privacy with glorious views across the Golden Valley. Approached via a block-paved drive (owned by the property but shared with the neighbour), there is generous parking on arrival. The landscaped gardens, extending to just over half an acre, are a true highlight. The owners created a level terrace with raised vegetable beds, and to the rear transformed the sheltered courtyard into an outdoor-style kitchen – a wonderful space for entertaining. Throughout the garden, a series of terraces and sunny seating areas maximise the far-reaching views, while winding paths lead through woodland beneath mature trees bordering farmland. Fruit and vegetable beds, a greenhouse and summer house add further charm and practicality. The property is served by a shared septic tank.
