Old Rectory Gardens, Longborough, Moreton-in-Marsh, GL56

A VERSATILE 3-BEDROOM DETACHED COTSWOLD HOME COMBINING VILLAGE CHARM WITH SPACIOUS LIVING.

Tucked away in a peaceful country cul-de-sac on the edge of this highly regarded North Cotswold village, midway between Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom home offers versatile accommodation and a welcoming sense of light and space. Built in the 1980s, the property is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and designed with flexible living in mind, and with a real sense of character.
At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan sitting and dining room featuring a woodburning stove, ideal for entertaining, which flows through to a well-planned kitchen and a bright (recently upgraded) conservatory. The conservatory spans much of the rear elevation, creating an inviting living space that connects seamlessly to the garden through French doors.
The ground floor also features a comfortable double bedroom with en suite facilities, providing the option for single-level living or a private guest suite. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, a versatile dressing room, and a well-appointed family bathroom, offering ample space for family life or visiting guests.

The property is accessed via a gravel driveway, with ample parking which leads to a spacious garage with power, light and generous storage space. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a variety of shrubs and young trees, creating an attractive approach. A path to the side provides gated access to the rear garden, which is enclosed and enjoys an open aspect over an attractive Cotswold stone wall, backing onto fields, with far-reaching views beyond.
