House For Sale £1,500,000
A stunning Grade II-listed six-bedroom Georgian character home, with far-reaching views and a self-contained coach house.
Description
Hallidays is situated at the heart of the picturesque village of Purton, with a wealth of amenities on the doorstep and far-reaching views to the rear towards the rolling green countryside of the Cotswold Hills. The best-of-both-worlds setting feels fantastically rural yet is well connected to day-to-day amenities within the village, as well as excellent road and rail links. The Grade II listed house was built in 1784 for the Bathe family, whose monuments remain in the village churchyard. Original features abound within: from exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and period doors, to fireplaces added later in the mid 1800s. These character elements are beautifully complemented by more modern additions, such as a stylish farmhouse kitchen, a light-filled dining room with roof lantern and bifold doors and luxurious bathrooms – the principal bedroom has a fabulous en-suite with a sauna.
The accommodation has grand proportions throughout the four floors, offering more than 4000 sq ft of space. To the ground floor there are two formal reception rooms, a snug, open plan dining/family room and kitchen, a utility room, boiler room and WC, with a cellar on the basement level. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a bathroom, WC and the principal suite – with its walk-in wardrobe and luxurious bathroom – on the second floor, there are a further two bedrooms and a WC.
Separate to the main house is a detached and entirely self-contained coach house, perfect as a holiday let to generate income or to be used as accommodation for grandparents or older children. The coach house is attractively presented and includes two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen/dining room with family area, a shower room and a lovely sitting room.
Outside
