Prospect Cottage, Filkins, Lechlade, Gloucestershire, GL7

A wonderful semi-detached family home situated in the picturesque village of Filkins. This property is beautifully presented throughout and has the added benefit of a separate, self-contained annex which would be perfect for family members or potential Airbnb.

The accommodation comprises a hall with cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen sits to the front and has recently been renovated to include very stylish Shaker style floor and wall mounted units under a wooden work surface. There are a number of integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and double oven. The property has a separate dining room and to the rear, a wonderful sitting room with fireplace, alcove shelving, and doors into the conservatory. This was added by the current owners and provides a wonderful place to rest with a charming outlook over the garden.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which have an array of fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom is incredibly spacious and offers an en suite shower room. The internal accommodation is completed by a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

Outside, the west facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and is laid to patio with box hedging, roses, fruit trees and borders packed with a variety of shrubs and flowers. A gravelled driveway offers parking for several vehicles in front of the separate one-bedroom annex (formally a stone-built garage). This is exceptionally light and has an open plan kitchen/living space with a double bedroom and en suite shower room. There is a stone shed attached providing additional storage.

This charming Cotswold village has a good number of amenities including a village shop, parish church and Methodist chapel, a swimming pool, bowls club and the Swinford rural Museum. There is also an exceptionally good public house (The Five Alls) and the renowned Cotswold Woollen Weavers Centre. There are many activities centred on the village hall, and an annual beer festival.

The village is conveniently placed for access to the larger villages/small towns of Lechlade, Burford and Carterton, and the nearest primary schools are St Christopher’s Church of England school in Langford or St Lawrence’s Church of England school in Lechlade, both very well regarded.
