House For Sale £750,000
This unique 4 bedroom architect designed extended terraced cottage has been greatly improved by the current owner whilst keeping many of the traditional features, including original elm floorboards, original beams, window seats and a well in the kitchen. It offers the convenience of a modern renovation whilst keeping the charm and character of the original house.
Light has been maximised by the design while premium finishes sourced from Mandarin Stone include natural materials such as limestone for the flooring and bathroom tiling and feature wall tiling in the kitchen.
The use of woods including oak, elm and Spanish chestnut give a cohesive look throughout. Curves are also a design feature of this property and can be spotted throughout the house.
The property benefits from a hallway, lounge, spacious kitchen/diner, utility room and downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout with high spec limestone flooring and with wooden flooring in the lounge.
The first floor has three good sized bedrooms with built in wardrobes (one currently being used as a study) and a shower room plus en-suite facilities to the master bedroom. The second floor has a further bedroom, also with built in storage and wardrobe.
There are excellent views to the rear across the garden, farmland and valley and the garden has the stone walling that characterises the Cotswolds area.
Externally the sunny south-west facing rear garden is well tended and planned for privacy and entertaining. It is well stocked featuring 2 patio areas, lawn area with espalier apple trees and vegetable beds. Subtle downlighting has been added to the lower patio area along with built in seating for magical evening entertaining against a backdrop of beautiful sunsets. The front of the house has a pleasing stone aspect in keeping with its age and surroundings.
An outstanding property sure to generate interest that should be viewed at your earliest convenience.
