Twitten Bend is an attractive period home built of mellow Cotswold stone with a stone and tiled roof and stone mullion windows. It is steeped with charm and character in the picturesque and highly desirable Cotswold village of Biddestone.
The spacious sitting room features an impressive inglenook fireplace fitted with woodburning stove, an attractive window seat and a recess with stone carving dated 1792, thought to be from the entrance of the original cottage. From here is the dining room, which overlooks the pretty cottage garden. The bright welcoming kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home, with two sets of double doors that open onto the garden. There is plenty of space for a large kitchen table at the centre and a sitting area looking out to the garden. There is also a study overlooking the garden and a utility/boot room with a cloakroom.
On the first floor is a double bedroom with en suite shower room, a double bedroom with separate dressing room (this could be converted to a bath/shower room subject to obtaining the necessary planning and listed building consents), a single bedroom, a bathroom and a separate WC.
To the front of the property there is a gravelled forecourt providing parking for two cars.
There is a side access that leads round to the delightful south-facing walled garden that can also be accessed directly from the kitchen. There is a paved seating area to one side; a beautifully sunny space to relax in and watch the abundant birdlife. There is also a lawned area, water feature and numerous borders planted with a wide variety of shrubs, bulbs, perennials and small trees.
In all approximately 0.08 of an acre.
