This is a Cotswold stone detached house, thought to be over 100 years old with later extensions. The property is part of and is being sold by The Sudeley Castle Estate. The property would now benefit from modernisation and upgrading but has scope for extension (subject to the necessary consents) or developing further. The rooms are of a good size with no low ceilings (on the ground floor), there are fireplaces in the two reception rooms, and many of the rooms have multiple aspects.

The property is particularly discreetly positioned, being almost invisible from the lane, with a long driveway, and sits almost to the centre of its plot with lovely westerly views towards Langley Hill.

The accommodation is over two floors. An entrance hall with a cloakroom and staircase to the first floor, leads to the sitting room, and has double doors to the dining room. The sitting room lies to the front of the house with a triple aspect, a stone fireplace, and double doors to the rear. The dining room lies to the centre of the property with double doors to the outside, a fireplace with pretty cast iron surround and a hatch to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall cupboards, fitted oven and hob and two windows to the front. There is a rear lobby with a door out to the garden and a pantry.

On the first floor a landing leads to three good sized bedrooms, the two to the front having particularly lovely views. The third bedroom which lies to the rear, is partly into the eaves, and also leads in to a fourth or occasional bedroom. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor.

Outside, there is a former aviary, a timber shed and chicken house. The gardens are level and grassed. To the rear the gardens are enclosed by panel fencing and lovely old high brick walling. To the front the gardens adjoin pastureland. In total, the whole plot extends to just under two acres.

The property is offered with no onward chain.
