A stunning detached house finished in Cotswold stone and steeped in character, offering highly flexible accommodation that perfectly combines modern conveniences and architectural brilliance with the charm of a bygone era. Occupying a magnificent level plot measuring in excess of half an acre, occupiers of this notably well-proportioned property can enjoy breath-taking countryside views and gorgeous land-scaped gardens that surround this home. There is plenty of lawn for families to enjoy which is bordered with an array of thriving planting beds that play host to a range of carefully-considered flowers and shrubs that help to provide a vibrant and beautiful backdrop throughout the year. Additionally, there is a highly private and sunny 'rockery' seating area as well as several patio dining spaces and a wealth of inviting seating areas to relax in, as well as a raised vegetable patch and a small orchard which is home to mature apple and plum trees - all of which can often be found bathed in direct sunlight throughout the day. Furthermore, there are useful and secure storage outbuildings in the garden, as well as a greenhouse, outside taps, and lighting. At the front, two gravel driveways can comfortably support a range of vehicles, one of which leads in turn to a large garage which features roof windows as well as light and power.

Originally dating back to the 19th century, the entrance hallway within this extended home showcases lovely exposed flagstone flooring and provides access to versatile living accommodation on the ground floor. This comprises of a formal dining room, a bright sitting room with a pleasant dual outlook and a fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove, a dual-aspect snug (also highly suitable as a play room or home office) with another wood-burning stove, and a well-equipped kitchen / breakfast room with underfloor heating. This kitchen / breakfast room forms a wonderful social hub in the centre of this home, boasting tall vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams alongside several windows which flood the room with natural sunlight. Fitted appliances include an electric hob, a fan-assisted oven with separate grill above, an extractor fan, a dishwasher, and an in-built wine rack further to the wooden cupboards and drawers that are topped with solid granite worktops. There is plenty of space, power, and plumbing for a washing machine, a tumble drier, a large fridge, and a freezer within the spacious utility room that can be found adjacent to the kitchen, providing access out to the rear garden via a stable-door and also benefitting from underfloor heating. This utility room also houses the water softener and the boiler, as well as additional storage cupboards and drawers. A fully tiled shower room (with W.C and sink) and a large double bedroom are also accessible via the utility room, ensuring that this home is appropriately 'future-proofed' for those who might one day prefer single-storey living - these two rooms also have underfloor heating.  A smartly designed open-plan mezzanine reception space encompasses a thoughtful application of glass and wood to successfully create a light, stylish, and contemporary environment in which to host a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Overlooking the kitchen / breakfast room, this underfloor-heated mezzanine area leads out to the rockery garden via impressive timber-framed glass double doors, and also gives access to a suitable study area as well as to a wing of the property that encapsulates a double bedroom and a huge dressing room that both feature underfloor heating, further to a handy wash room with W.C. The entrance hallway in this home also conveniently leads down a few steps to a sizeable home office which comes complete with underfloor heating, fitted storage, and a window which again allows ample light in - This room has also comfortably served as a long-term fifth bedroom. Stairs from the snug / playroom ascend up to a second landing which supports two more double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom that boasts a four piece suite inclusive of a full-length bath with shower overhead, a wash basin, and a W.C, all of which is surrounded by tasteful wood-paneling and two windows. The views from the upper floor of this property are really quite exquisite, be it over the beautiful gardens or out over the valley there will always be something captivating and interesting to observe!
