A timeless family home in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Description

Constructed in 1992, Millstone is a charming semi-detached Cotswold stone property, ideally situated at the centre of the village, offering generous, light-filled accommodation spread over two floors. With ample parking for up to six vehicles, this home is perfect for those who appreciate both space and convenience.

The ground floor layout is exceptionally flexible, designed to create an open and inviting flow between rooms. Light, neutral colours throughout enhance the sense of space and airy ambiance.
A standout feature of the home is the double-aspect ground floor bedroom, which is complemented by an en suite shower room. The well-proportioned sitting room, with triple aspects, is bathed in natural light, with sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the garden. A striking stone fireplace with open fire serves as the room’s focal point.

Double doors lead to the heart of the home: the spacious kitchen/dining room. This area is thoughtfully designed, featuring an excellent range of cabinetry and integrated appliances. There is ample room for a large dining table and chairs. Double doors open to the side garden and terrace, inviting the outside in. A well-appointed utility room/pantry and a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a galleried landing offers a versatile space ideal for a study or home office. There are three generously sized bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room. A family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle serves the remaining rooms.

To the front, a large gravelled parking area provides space for up to six cars, alongside a garage and double carport. The enclosed rear garden is a tranquil retreat, mainly laid to mature lawn with well-stocked flower beds that provide year-round colour and interest.
