A charming Cotswold stone three/four bedroom detached character property on the edge of popular Ford.

Description

Myrnham Cottage is a charming, Cotswold stone detached property which has been the subject of extensive refurbishment and expansion by the current owners who have made this their family home for the past 25 years. The property boasts a wealth of period charm and character which has been elegantly enhanced over this time.

On entering the property you are greeted by a flagstone floored entrance porch with cloakroom. From here you walk into the original part of the house (c 1700s) which is currently arranged as a wonderful dining room with wood burning stove. At the east end of the property is the country style kitchen/breakfast room with natural stone flooring, comprising a well designed, hand made, bespoke kitchen with wooden worktops, breakfast bar, Belfast sink and cast iron Esse electric range cooker with three ovens. The room has access out to a lawned garden via French doors. To the west of Myrnham Cottage is a spacious L-shaped sitting room with a large wood burner in a flagstone fireplace and a feature cast iron spiral staircase leading up to bedroom three.

The first floor is versatile and has three main bedrooms, one with en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom with claw foot roll top bath and occasional fourth bedroom if needed. Both bedroom two and three have French doors opening onto private balconies leading out to the gardens. There is access from bedroom two to a fantastic loft room.
