The Property
Occupying a picturesque Cotswold setting, boasting the most wonderful elevated views lies this charming detached cottage. The property enjoys bright accommodation positioned across two floors. A useful entrance porch opens into a pretty sitting room measuring in excess of 23ft. The room provides a bay window that adds to the feeling of space, whilst a fireplace with a Clearview Stove inset offers a warming focal point to the room. An original staircase provides access to the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room, also with a bay window has been fitted with bespoke cabinets and provides room for dining and space for a range. Both rooms overlook the front garden and view beyond. A second staircase from the kitchen leads to the first floor. Adjoining the kitchen and overlooking the garden lies a useful study with understairs storage and a quarry tiled floor. Also located on this level is a utility room with a door to the garden and a downstairs cloakroom. A landing area on the first floor has in the past been used as an study, shelving means that the landing also lends itself to use as a reading area. From here a door opens to a small shower room and two double bedrooms, all of which have a wonderful outlook. Adjoining the larger of the two bedrooms is large family bathroom with shower over the bath. The bathroom provides a ‘Jack and Jill’ opening with access to a third double bedroom. Please note that this bedroom can also be reached via the staircase leading from the sitting room. Solar panels are owned by the property.
Outside
A gravelled driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles. A footpath provides access down to the house and garden. Boasting the most spectacular elevated views across the village roof tops and the valley beyond, the garden enjoys a southerly aspect. Laid to lawn, flower borders provide interest and colour whilst a paved seating area offers the ideal spot to dine and take in the open vista. Across the footpath extends a further section of garden, bounded by a cotswold stone wall with steps leading down. This offers a blank canvass for the keen gardener. A covered area behind the house offers useful storage and houses the oil tank.
