Description

Prominently positioned in the centre of this charismatic North Cotswold village and having the benefit of a 150-foot enclosed garden to the rear, this deceptively spacious double fronted three storey country retreat is full of the innate character and charm of a period Grade II listed building with some features believed to originally date from the 15th century.

The property has been extended and updated over recent years and incorporates adaptable accommodation which includes a sitting room with a homely wood burning stove, stylish fitted breakfast kitchen, separate dining room and utility and an elevated studio or office to the rear with direct access on to the beautiful garden. The first floor offers a variety of rooms with the master bedroom now being at the rear of the property with the main front bedroom having a beautiful fireplace and the option of a dressing room or a further bedroom to the rear with an Apex ceiling and direct access to the garden. There is a family shower room and 'Jack and Jill' main bathroom adjacent to bedroom two and forming the bathroom to the rear bedroom. There is a further bedroom on the second floor and separate loft storage.

When entering the property, one is immediately impressed with the antique flag stone floor leading through to the full height glazed vestibule to the rear with a perfect picture window towards the rear garden. The property has many exposed stone walls, antique fireplaces and painted beams, antique leaded paned windows and built-in window seats. There is an atmospheric original bread oven in the dining room begging to be renovated to its fullest extent. More contemporary enhancements include gas fired central heating, pressurised hot water system, upgraded wiring and plumbing.

One of the main delights of the property however is the 150-foot enclosed lawned rear garden with several areas for alfresco dining and the all important benefit of two car tandem parking at the end.

For those looking for the quintessential Cotswold cottage set amongst similarly aged character homes, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Bourton on the Hill is positioned mid-way between the larger village of Blockley and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are railway links for London Paddington. The village is blessed with beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside past the 18th century Sezincote House and the delightful Batsford Arboretum which has stunning views over the Evenlode Valley. Only 100 yards from the cottage is the renowned Horse and Groom pub and hostelry and there is a small Budgens supermarket and garage at the top of the hill. The famous market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold (5 miles), Chipping Campden (4 miles) and Broadway (4 miles) are some of the most famous towns in the North Cotswolds all only a short drive away.
