Description

Maxwell Douglas Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale Snowdon House, a stunning period residence of considerable charm, style and presence. Standing in c.2.3 acres and occupying an enviable position on the edge of a highly sought after Cotswold village, it enjoys delightful rural views. Opportunities to acquire homes of this calibre and character are seldom available.

The substantial accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers a wonderful blend of period features and modern family living. A welcoming entrance hall opens into a cosy snug and a family room, which in turn leads to a useful cellar. Beyond, a rear lobby provides access to a study, utility room, shower room and the garden.

Without doubt, the heart of the home is the magnificent open plan kitchen, dining, and living space, thoughtfully created by the current owners. This superb room combines oak beams, exposed Cotswold stone, timber flooring, and tiled areas, creating a space full of warmth and character, which is complemented by underfloor heating throughout. Three sets of double doors flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the gardens, while a generous walk-in pantry adds practicality to this exceptional entertaining space.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond, together with a spacious dressing room and ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, ideal for family members or guests.

The property is approached through double gates set within a traditional Cotswold dry stone wall, a driveway leads to a double carport and adjoining 17`5 x 9`10 store. A westerly-facing terrace, bordered by an abundance of flowers and shrubs, provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and evening entertaining. Beyond, the beautiful gardens unfold with meandering pathways, mature planting, and numerous fruit trees bordering it`s adjoining paddock, all complemented by fabulous views across the surrounding countryside. A gate leads through to a more formal garden, which in turn connects to the kitchen and rear lobby.

Snowdon House is an exceptional village home offering generous accommodation, outstanding gardens, and a truly enviable setting. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and quality on offer.
