A charming and newly renovated stone cottage in the desirable village of Upper Slaughter.

Description

5 The Square is a Grade II Listed cottage nestled within one of the most idyllic honey-hued North Cotswolds villages. The property dates from the early 17th century and is constructed of local stone under a stone tile roof with stone mullioned windows. Early in the 20th Century, Lutyens re-modelled The Square which is also referred to as “Baghots Square” and it now forms the heart of the village.

This beautifully recently renovated cottage is presented in immaculate, turn-key condition. Blending timeless charm with modern comforts, every detail has been thoughtfully updated from the stylish kitchen and contemporary bathroom to the welcoming sitting room. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an investment opportunity, 5 The Square offers the perfect blend of character and convenience.

The accommodation is arranged on two floors and consists of a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with an excellent range of contemporary cabinets opening to a generous dining area with ample space for a table and chairs. There is a delightful sitting room with wood burning stove, creating a perfect place to come together or enjoy a good book. A door leads from the kitchen into a very useful boot room with great storage and cloakroom, both very practical for rural life.
Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom. On the first floor there are two excellent double bedrooms and a well fitted bathroom.

To the rear of the property, a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden provides a peaceful spot for al fresco dining, accessed via a pedestrian gate. There is also a useful stone outbuilding, offering additional storage space. The property benefits from one allocated parking space.
