The Property
This impressive detached village residence is believed to date back to around 1715 and was formerly owned by the village Priest. The present owner has carried out a range of sympathetic improvements to the property which included moving the kitchen, which we feel has certainly improved the layout for modern living. This sizeable family home boasts a wealth of character features from it`s exposed stone walls and Oak beams to the ornate architrave that can be found above the doorways. The impressive Oak front door leads into the entrance hall with it`s underfloor heating, from here doors radiate off to the kitchen/dining room with it`s warming gas fired Aga. Further doors lead to the downstairs cloakroom and small utility cupboard along with stairs up to the first floor and further steps down into the study with it`s cellar situated below. A further doorway leads you through into the sitting room which benefits from a stylish logburner and exposed beams, and from here you can also enter into the garden room with it`s French doors opening out to the garden. On the first floor landing doorways lead off to the principal bedroom, with it`s wonderful dual aspect and through into both the dressing room and ensuite bath/shower room. Bedroom two is also situated on this floor, again with a fitted ensuite shower room. A further flight of stairs take you up to the second floor and into the third bedroom with its character beams and stunning views over both the garden and village beyond. From this bedroom a doorway opens into the internal bedroom four. This bedroom has an access panel through into the generous eaves storage room, it may be possible to open up this room by reconfiguring a new access door, subject of course to the relevant consents. The detached double garage was built in 1980 and is accessed via an up and over door, there is also storage above. Finally, the property is heated by gas central heating.
Outside
As you first approach the property you will notice that there is off road parking for two vehicles and beyond the gravelled driveway sits the detached double garage. From here a side gate allows access through into the rear courtyard, with it`s ornate paving and generous logstore. To the side a further doorway takes you through into the rear garden where the rear garage door access can be found. The garden wraps around to both the side and rear of the property, and has been designed to offer both a formal area with rose bushes which intertwine over the walk through arbour, to a further area designed for more relaxed entertaining, or possibly even a spot of alfresco dining. There is an additional lawned area with flower beds and borders and well stocked with a range of mature trees and shrubs. As you pass through the beech tree hedging, a natural garden pond can be seen in the far corner. There is also a spacious patio and well designed built in Cotswold stone seating area. At the far end of the garden a further gate offering additional side access can be found. Finally, the garden has it`s very own a stone built well from where you may cast a penny and make a wish.
