A charming period cottage beautifully restored and extended to create a stylish four bedroom family home with large garden and rural outlook, within ten minutes drive of Cheltenham

Description - Peake View Cottage is picture-postcard pretty. Dating back to 1860, the cottage has been sympathetically extended to create a stylish 4 bed family home. Extensively renovated by the current vendors, the cottage has a wonderful homely vibe with tasteful modern updates. A good sized entrance porch, with ample room for coats and boots, leads to the main reception rooms. The dining room is a lovely bright room, leading open-plan to a good sized triple aspect sitting room. Patio doors open from the sitting room to the garden, making this an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with pale shaker-style units, creating a farmhouse vibe with a contemporary twist. A boot room and cloakroom are set to the rear of the property, well positioned for muddy boots and garden paraphernalia. To the front of the house is a cosy snug with original period fireplace with wood burning stove inset.

Four bedrooms are located on the first floor with a dual aspect principal suite benefiting from lovely views in both directions; this is a good sized room with ample space and plumbing in situ to easily create an en-suite. Two further front facing bedrooms benefit from lovely views towards Birdlip and Crickley Hill, as well as towards Buckholt Woods. The fourth bedroom, plus a spacious family bathroom, both overlook the pretty garden.

The landscaped garden is set to the rear of the property and is well stocked with English country flowers and shrubs plus several seating areas, ideal for morning coffee and evening drinks. A stylish summerhouse with solar powered lighting is positioned in the far corner of the enclosed garden. There is a garage with store room and planning approved to build a new garage set further back in the plot to allow for the creation of additional off-road parking. There is currently parking for two vehicles.
