Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold provide a wide range of day-to-day facilities. Moreton-in-Marsh has a mainline rail station serving London/ Paddington.
Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham provide further cultural and recreational facilities, together with excellent independent and state schools. The general area is ideal for riding and walking within countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are excellent sporting opportunities in the region, including golf at nearby Broadway with further courses at Naunton Downs, Stratford-upon-Avon and Lyneham.
Description
Dashwood House is situated in an elevated position and benefits from wonderful far reaching views over the village and towards the countryside beyond. The property is constructed from locally quarried stone beneath a Cotswold stone roof and has been stylishly renovated and extended to create a charming village house with well-presented accommodation laid out over four floors.
The property retains many period features including fitted and glazed cabinets, oak floors and window shutters. Of particular note are the contemporary extensions including a handmade bespoke open plan kitchen with Quooker tap, two Gaggenau ovens, Bora induction hob, integrated Miele dishwasher, full height Leibherr fridge, under-counter wine fridge and double width pantry cupboard, dining room with bi-fold doors leading out to a rear terrace and sitting room with a large inglenook fireplace with a Clearview stove, and huge French doors to an outside front terrace.
The principal en-suite, first floor shower room and ground floor cloakroom were designed by multi award winning designer Melinda Hill and have underfloor heating. The first floor extension links the principal bedroom accommodation to the rear terrace and garden, and has been designed to lead into the Coach House, if desired.
To the rear of the house is a substantial coach house which can be utilised for a variety of uses.
The property is approached through electric gates which lead to a gravelled driveway with extensive parking to the front of the house. A pedestrian gate provides access to a pathway into the village and towards the Church. Steps rise to the front of the house through terracing which includes a lawned area and a terrace. To the rear is a professionally landscaped private garden with an outdoor entertaining terrace at the top, a separate decked terrace with hot tub, a sloping lawn and mature shrubs, and a stone outbuilding with outside WC.
