House For Sale £399,950
Old Beams is situated in the heart of this popular Cotswold village.
The cottage dates from c 1799 and was originally two cottages, which have been in the same ownership since the early 1980s. The property has a wealth of period features and allows one to place one's stamp on the cottage. The property is linked to the neighbouring property by a covered walkway, so it is effectively detached.
The front door leads to the entrance hall, with a sitting room off one side. The double-aspect room has exposed beams and a beautiful central Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. A door leads through the rear hall to a secondary staircase and a door out to the garden. To the other side of the hallway is a dining room with a front bay window and fitted cupboards. Off the dining room is the kitchen with fitted units, a cooker and space for a dishwasher. A door leads out to the rear garden. Also to the ground floor is the shower room/cloakroom/utility room. Upstairs are the family bathroom and three bedrooms which can be accessed from two separate staircases but are also all interconnecting.
The south-facing walled gardens are a real feature of Old Beams, having been opened for the prestigious National Garden Scheme. They have been meticulously tended to over the years and are well stocked with an abundance of fruit trees, shrubs, mature trees and plants. There is also a vegetable garden, potting shed, wood store and a terrace on which to enjoy al fresco entertaining. A single garage is integral to the house, with an electric door and an adjacent store.
