House For Sale £1,699,950
Unique, spacious and bright three-bedroom house in the heart of Burford with private parking and breath-taking views with no onward chain.
The Old Ropery is a completely unique, spacious, and bright three-bedroom house arranged over two floors. Originally built in 1902 this impressive building has formerly been a rope factory and a clock repairer. The architect Peter Yiangouwas commissioned to create a home that would maximise not only the space but also the light and the incredible views of Burford through the large original arch windows. The conversion was completed in 2000. The ground floor provides an impressive entrance hall with polished flagstone flooring and oak staircase, utility room/boot room with separate side access, principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further bedrooms (one with French doors leading to a private terrace) and a family bathroom. The first floor comprises: spacious and bright landing with Beech wood flooring running throughout, a fully fitted kitchen with Beech units, granite worktops and double bowl sinks with the most incredible views towards Burford Church, drawing room/study with lantern ceiling light, French doors opening onto a covered south facing veranda and a large lounge/dining room with double aspect windows overlooking Burford and cast-iron spiral staircase which leads to the rooftop terrace.
The rooftop enjoys sun all through the day and affords a 360-degree panorama over Burford, the Windrush Valley and the rolling Cotswold hills -it is just ‘magical’. It is fully equipped with lights and power points, making it the perfect spot for alfresco dining. Further outdoor space can be found to the south of the property which has a small garden with a terrace, flowerbeds and pathway leading around the house to the West terrace. The property is approached in several ways -by car from Sweeps Lane which leads to the two parking bays and access to the main front door through the front garden or via Burford High Street through private double doors which lead to the attractive shared pathway and Courtyard with The Old Ropery Cottage.
