House For Sale £525,000
A charming stone property situated on the edge of Stow-on-the-Wold.
Description
The Carriages is a charming Cotswold stone house situated in the grounds of Fosseway House, a seventeenth-century farmhouse with a grand Victorian extension. The well-presented accommodation is set out over two floors.
The welcoming hall leads through double doors into a generous, dual aspect sitting room with an open fireplace with Cotswold stone surround and chimney breast. Large windows at the rear allow light to flood in. Across the hall the kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and floor units. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a dining room, with door to the garden, and a cloakroom. On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe, bedroom two with built in wardrobes, and the family shower room.
The Carriages is approached over a private drive which leads to a gravelled drive providing parking for at least two cars. There is a single garage attached to the property with plumbing and electricity.
The garden lies to the rear and can be accessed via the side timber gate or from the dining room. The garden has been landscaped into tiers to make the most of the sloping site with gravelled, lawned and paved areas. The clever design of the garden ensures there is a choice of places from which to enjoy the sunshine.
The extensive communal grounds of Fosseway House comprise large lawns, mature trees and shrubs, woodland copse and mounded areas and all parts are available to all residents. The grounds, roads and paths are maintained by the Fosseway House Management Company with all residents being shareholders and the Directors being volunteers from among the residents.
The property will appeal to a broad audience of buyers including owner-occupiers but particularly investors and those looking for a second home.
