Hazleton, Nr Northleach, Gloucestershire, GL54

A charming, detached Cotswold stone cottage in a lovely North Cotswold village, with four bedrooms, picturesque views and varied gardens.

Description

Within the idyllic village of Hazleton, this detached period cottage offers beautifully presented accommodation and fabulous views over the North Cotswolds countryside. The house has been subject to a thorough renovation and has most recently been used as a holiday let. It is immaculately presented throughout and as such would be suitable to continue as a holiday let, to be used as the perfect ‘lock up and leave’ second home or as a primary residence for a couple or family. The deceptively spacious cottage has well-proportioned interiors including four good-size double bedrooms and is presented in a modern style, which complements the age of the home with Crittal-style windows, a cosy wood-burning stove and a stunning dark blue kitchen with a stainless steel range oven and additional built-in appliances. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home and is a really special informal space to dine, with a built-in banquet seating area and French doors leading out onto the terrace. Also on the ground floor is a relaxing sitting room, a home office with built-in storage and a utility room for laundry machines. Upstairs there are four bedrooms (two of which are en suite) and a family bath/shower room.

Outside
Grove Cottage is situated close to the centre of pretty Hazleton, bordered to the north by a narrow country lane with no through traffic and to the south by the delightful village church and its churchyard. There are differing gardens to the front and rear: to the front, the house looks out onto a lawned garden enclosed by mature trees and hedges, making it feel very private. A stone terrace, accessed from the snug, creates an atmospheric place to dine alfresco in the warmer months and there is a children’s climbing frame. To the rear, a low-maintenance courtyard-style garden offers an alternative area for sitting outside, with low, traditional drystone walls to the borders affording a view over the churchyard to the south. Both the front and rear gardens are accessible by pedestrian gate from the lane, which eventually becomes a bridlepath.
