Property description
A fine Grade II listed house located in a very pleasant hamlet on the edge of the Cotswolds with glorious far reaching views into the valley below. This late 14th early 15th century cottage was originally built to be the Vicarage for the first Vicar of St James church, the church opposite the property was also built at the same time.The cottage was extended first in the 17th Century to create an additional room which now forms the dining room.The property has since been totally transformed by the current owners to create a wonderfully modern home inside this chocolate box cottage. The property is presented to the highest standards throughout.Accessed via the stone archway to the front is the lovely open country style kitchen with dining area, multi-fuel AGA cooker (electric oven, gas hob), wooden roll top work surface surrounds, double Belfast sink, corner fire place with a wood burning stove (home to Charlie the dog), stone tiled floor with under floor heating within the kitchen and rear lobby, exposed brick work and beams.The inner lobby serves as two functions, offering access to the rear garden and driveway, along with access to the sitting room, dining room, the first floor landing and under stairs storage.The sitting room has front aspect window, with window seat, exposed brick work with a solid oak beam over forming the inglenook fireplace, with a wood burner.Dining room with side aspect windows, old school style radiator, exposed beam.The first floor landing offers access to all rooms as well as the loft hatch which has a ladder, giving access to the loft room (subject to planning for a staircase could be the master bedroom or a superb family room).The master bedroom is front aspect and offers views of the church and grounds as well as the valley, exposed beam and an old school style radiator.Guest bedroom with front aspect window offers far reaching views, a feature cast iron fire place, exposed beams and an old school style radiator.The bathroom is a four piece family bathroom, with a Victorian style cast iron bath with claw feet, mixer taps and shower attachment, inset shower cubicle with extractor fan over, low level wc, wall mounted wash hand basin, heated towel rail, old school style radiator, exposed beam, inset spot lights, rear aspect window.The loft room is the perfect addition to the cottage, accessed currently via a loft ladder, but with the right permission and thought this could be a stunning room. Currently the loft room is used by the owner as his study as the room runs the entire width of the property, and offers a rear aspect view from one of the three Velux windows.Outside of the property is a perfect blend of mature gardens with colourful borders, laid to lawn garden, small vegetable plots, hard standing for the shed/greenhouse, sun terrace. The owners have a garage and to the side and rear is parking for three cars.
