Description

Positioned in the fashionable Dovedale end of the High Street and forming an integral part of the street scene of this delightful village, this completely unique two storey, two/three bedroomed village retreat is full of the innate character and charm of a period home believed to date from the early 18th century.

For many years numbers 1 and 2 Red Lion Steps were understood to be on the same deed and for over a hundred years the property is believed to have been a public house mainly frequented by farm hands returning from the adjacent countryside.

The property has many endearing features such as exposed beams, timber panelling, antique doors and fireplaces but one of the most ingratiating features is the stunning facade of Red Lion Steps with this property having its own Italianesque style Juliet balcony.

Developed in several stages, the property has two double bedrooms over the front living room each with its own ensuite facilities, there is a bespoke central fitted kitchen and a second staircase to the rear of the property leading to a spacious living room with an Apex ceiling and, having its own bathroom, could be used as a third double bedroom if required. The property is warmed with gas fired central heating and a homely woodburning stove in the diner-kitchen.

Externally the property has an enclosed terrace adjacent to the rear living room with a separate pathway leading to a completely enclosed and private garden and recreational area. The steps further ascend to a larger garden enjoying stunning panoramic views over roof tops towards the surrounding countryside.

Walks can be enjoyed directly from the property into Dovedale Woods only a few hundred yards away forming a cul-de-sac to the high street and therefore no through traffic.

The village is located mid-way between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton-in-Marsh where there are rail links to London Paddington. The village has two public houses, primary school, a well stocked local shop and the very fashionable adjacent cafe which opens as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week.

The village is also famous for the filming of the Father Brown series in which the village is named Kembleford.
