Description

Grade II listed Pear Tree Cottage is situated half way along Church Street in the quiet and picturesque village of Bledington. The property has affectionately been refurbished for modern living, but traditional features have been retained and restored to enhance the experience of living in such a beautiful cottage in one of the most tranquil settings.

The original property is built of locally quarried Cotswold stone and is surrounded by a stunning mature garden with an unobstructed view of the village church.

The property has a large gravelled area with ample parking for 2 vehicles at the rear of the cottage. From this rear garden, access to the cottage is by a side passage which leads to the front garden of the cottage. The cottage has two doors, the back door, giving access to a boot room/ utility room and the front door, opening into a small hallway, with the living room off it. There is a ground floor WC off the utility room. The utility room houses the washing machine and separate tumble drier. Heading through to the kitchen, this bright room benefits from windows on both sides and is large enough for a dining table for 4. The Howdens kitchen is brand new with painted units and wood worktops, all new induction hob, oven and dishwasher. There is a free standing Miele fridge /freezer

Past the small hallway with the staircase to the upper floor, you come to the living room. This has windows on three sides so it is bright and cheerful with beautiful views of the garden. Traditional beams, three window seats and an attractive stone fireplace with log burning stove create a welcoming and cosy space. The room is thoughtfully furnished with plenty of seating and also a working area with desk and home office storage.

The top floor of the cottage is well laid out with two double bedrooms at each end of a bright corridor and a large family bathroom between them. The landing has a large storage cupboard and there are built in wardrobes in both bedrooms. There is additional storage in the large attic space accessible by a hatch and ladder from the landing. All the upper floor rooms have outstanding views up to Bledington church.

Outside, Pear Tree Cottage is enveloped by a beautifully manicured garden, offering privacy, tranquillity, and a real sense of escape. Defined by neatly clipped box hedges and mature plantings, the garden provides a peaceful oasis perfect for al fresco dining, gardening, or simply soaking up the Cotswold sun while taking in the picturesque view of the Church. The cottage also benefits from off street parking.

The greatly revered local pub is in the heart of the village and it truly creates a sense of community and for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits the walking straight from your doorstep is varied for all standards and allows you to enjoy the Cotswolds countryside as soon as you set out.
