Todenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56

A well-presented period cottage with lovely gardens and rural views

Description

Crossing Cottage is a former Victorian railway cottage situated in a rural setting approximately half a mile outside the village of Todenham. The property overlooks the surrounding open countryside running along the Knee Brook. Extended and renovated to create a wonderful family home with great energy, there is scope for further extensions if required. The flexible and bright accommodation is arranged over two floors and is presented to a high standard, combining the best of modern living including underfloor heating throughout the ground floor with some original retained period features including exposed beams.

The front door opens into a welcoming family room which leads to a study. Beyond is the kitchen/dining room with handmade fitted units and integrated appliances. Steps lead down from the kitchen into the impressive sitting room with exposed beams, dual aspect windows and a pair of double doors opening onto the terrace and garden framing views over the surrounding countryside and evening sunsets. Off the spacious first floor landing is the principal bedroom suite with views to three sides, a vaulted ceiling, window seat and ample built in wardrobes and storage. There are two further double bedrooms with great ceiling heights. Both bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a family shower room.

Crossing Cottage lies in a picturesque setting and has a large garden with two paved terraces, perfect for informal al fresco dining and entertaining. Access is via a mature cottage garden with established planting while the remaining garden is laid mainly to level lawn with numerous seating areas, including one overlooking the property’s pond, the whole bordered by fencing and mature shrubs and trees. There is ample parking on the gravelled driveway.

There is also a sheltered paddock and spinney which extends to just under an acre which can be available by separate negotiation.

The property has been well-maintained including replacement of all the windows within the last three years as well as one of the roof sections in the last two years
