Ivy cottage is approached over a gravelled driveway with stone steps up to the front door and the internal porch way. Once inside there is a spacious hallway with tiled floor and cloakroom. This Cotswold cottage is full of charm and has a wealth of period features including exposed beams and stonework.
A small step up from the hallway leads to a double aspect reception room with large inglenook fireplace and central wood burning stove, currently used as a dining room. No doubt the heart of the home is the beautiful kitchen breakfast room with Belfast sink overlooking the far reaching views. Recently fitted with a number of integrated appliances including a wine fridge, dishwasher, washing machine range cooker, this provides a wonderful entertaining space. To the other side of the dining hall is the cosy sitting room with central stone inglenook fireplace and log burning stove and window seats to enjoy the wonderful views.
Upstairs the property has a spacious landing which could double up as a reading area or work space, two double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and a third bedroom. These are all serviced by a family bathroom.
Separate to the property, approached from the garden path, is an annexe room which would be ideal as a home office or additional accommodation. An additional shower room could be added to this accommodation to provide a guest suite.
The cottage benefits from a garage with automated rollover garage door and gravelled driveway for additional parking spaces. The terraced garden to the front has seating areas, with the upper area allowing you to enjoy the distant views across the valley and a lower patio area for privacy. The gradual stone steps compliment the stone herbaceous flower beds, all adding to the charm and character of the property surroundings.
Ivy Cottage is situated in the small rural village of Clapton-on-the-Hill and offers magnificent views over the Windrush Valley. The village does not have a through road and therefore has a lovely quiet and tranquil atmosphere.
