Myrtle Cottage is a charming period property which we believe in part dates back to 1750. The current owners have significantly improved the property during the last 10 years whilst retaining the charm and character of its origins. The improvements include; air source heat pump and solar panels, along with an upgraded kitchen and bath/shower rooms, underfloor heating, oak flooring and marble tiling. This substantial residence is situated on a good sized plot on the edge of the hamlet of Stretcholt and is now offered for sale with no onward chain.

The well-presented and versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises; an entrance door opens into the hall with staircase rising to the first floor and doors opening into the dining room on your left and lounge on your right. The lounge overlooks the front garden and is a well-proportioned room with an Inglenook fireplace which houses a wood burner. To the side of the fireplace is what used to be the village bakery oven and is now an attractive original feature, there is also a useful understairs cupboard. From the lounge you enter into a ground floor bedroom (currently set up as a study/library) with a stunning ensuite bathroom and the suite comprises a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin with beautiful tiled flooring and Carrara marble part tiled walls. Returning to the hall, you will enter into the dining room which again has a feature fireplace, stone hearth and wood burner. An opening leads through to the well-fitted Wren kitchen with an extensive range of units including curved cabinets, along with a built-in dishwasher, induction hob and eye level oven. An American style fridge/freezer is available by separate negotiation. Finally on the ground floor is a conservatory which further opens into a substantial utility room with WC and storage.

On the first floor the landing offers access to three double bedrooms; two of which have the benefit of an ensuite shower room or WC. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.
