The Imps
Guide price £650,000
The Property
Elevated within the Cotswold village of Chalford Hill, this delightful detached home enjoys a fabulous setting within the community, with ease of access to local facilities as well as an abundance of countryside walks. Extended and renovated by the current owners, The Imps is a modern home with a traditional feel, providing both character and warmth. Traditionally described as a chalet bungalow, the name does not do justice to this beautifully presented home, but does go someway to describing its versatile layout. The main entrance sits under an attractive oak porch where a solid wood door opens to a hallway. Wooden floor boards flow throughout the hallway, where door opens to the living space and stairs rise to the first floor. Both the sitting room and kitchen/dining room extend to the south elevation, where they enjoy a view over the well established garden and valley beyond. The kitchen/dining room boasts a part vaulted ceiling and French doors to the garden. Fitted with a range for shaker style cabinets, oak worktops and range cooker, the kitchen enjoys a period feel. There is room for dining and an armchair. A door from the kitchen opens to a utility/cloakroom and French doors open to the garden. The sitting room is a charming room, providing a double aspect outlook and French doors to the veranda. Traditional panelling and a woodburner further add to the rooms appeal. Also located on this floor is a music room/bedroom with a view to the rear garden and a study. Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are positioned on the first floor. The main bedroom sits to the south elevation and enjoys a wonderful elevated view, it is generous in size and is served by a stylish ensuite shower room. A further double bedroom with eaves storage is served by a family bathroom. The property is warmed by gas central heating
Outside
Great thought and attention has been put into the external landscaping. Designed and planted by the existing owners, the gardens enjoy a truly magical feel, with areas extending to the east, south and west elevation. Set behind a Cotswold stone wall, the garden effectively offers a series of rooms. The front garden extends to the east and enjoys the morning sun. Laid to gravel and interspersed by plants and shrubs and a pond, pedestrian gates open to the driveway and Coppice Hill. The south facing side garden is laid to lawn with a paved seating terrace and oak framed veranda which offers the perfect vantage point to take in the open vista, The private west facing rear garden with pergola and decking offers yet further opportunity for outside dining whilst soaking up the evening sun. A mature Wisteria is a riot of colour in the Spring through to early Summer. Adjoining is a timber garden room with electric and insulation, with attached workshop. Flower borders throughout are a full and mature mix of evergreens and year round interest. A gated gravel driveway provides parking for two cars. The impressive Shepherds hut is available under separate negotiation.
