Description

Positioned in the centre of this North Cotswold village within the conservation area and offering a prime example of a quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage believed to originally date from around the early 17th century and set in approximately 0.3 acre plot. This detached two bedroomed, two storey 'chocolate box' property also has the advantage of a separate two storey dwelling built around the original garage which is currently used as a holiday let and is ancillary accommodation to the main cottage.

One of the most attractive features of the cottage is, however, the walled garden to the rear, which has been carefully tended over many years and is something quite exceptional within the village itself.

The innate character and charm of the property is manifest in the many exposed beams, high Apex ceilings, exposed stonework and wattle and daub walls. More contemporary refinements of the property include upgraded wiring, oil-fired central heating with a recently renewed boiler and tank and the modern bathroom suite. Alice's Loft, which is the ancillary accommodation, has a living room and kitchen on the ground floor and a modern shower room and large bedroom with an Apex ceiling on the first floor. There is a separate single garage and a courtyard with off-street parking for several vehicles.

Stretton-on-Fosse is located mid-way between the market towns of Shipston-on-Stour and Moreton-in-Marsh to the south with the all important railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington. The village has a well-renowned local pub, The Plough, recently under new management.

For those looking for a character cottage in one of the most popular spots in middle England, you may look no further.
