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.

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.
