An imposing and well presented detached four bedroom house with a large south-facing garden and far-reaching views, in this sought after hamlet.

The Dwelling - Cotswold House is a detached four bedroom stone house built in the late 1970s. The accommodation is bright, spacious and well presented, with some of the rooms enjoying far reaching views over the countryside, and a large and beautiful rear garden.

The front door opens into a porch with a further door into the welcoming hall with an understairs cupboard and doors to the principal rooms. The sitting room is a charming room with an LPG gas fire and a door which opens into the garden room with a triple aspect, wooden floor and bi-fold doors out to the garden. This room is currently used as a family dining room and is a lovely entertaining space opening straight out to the south-facing terrace. The kitchen / dining room is a good size with a dual aspect and French doors open out to the garden. The kitchen has a range of wall mounted and floor standing units and integrated appliances include a fridge / freezer, a dishwasher, two ovens and an electric hob. A door from the kitchen leads into the utility room with wall and floor units with a worktop over and a sink and there is space and plumbing for two appliances. There are two external doors leading to the front and to the rear and a further internal door leads into the double garage.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is an ensuite shower room. Bedrooms two and three have built in wardrobes and there are countryside views to both the front and back.
