Cotswold House is a light-filled detached home, built of stone in the late 1970s, designed for modern family living. At the heart of the house is a spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with attractive Shaker-style units, a central island, and integrated Neff appliances including oven, microwave, induction hob, fridge and dishwasher.

The kitchen flows into the adjoining sitting room, a welcoming space centred on a gas fire with a marble surround. From here, doors open into the garden room, a bright and airy addition with bifold doors leading directly onto the terrace, creating an excellent space for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

A useful utility room provides additional storage, space for laundry appliances, and access to the double garage. The ground floor also includes a study and cloakroom, ideal for extra storage or indeed a possible work from home area. A new boiler was installed in 2025.

On the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the south-facing garden and features built-in wardrobes, a window seat, dressing table, and a smart en suite with walk-in shower and double basins. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. A large, insulated loft provides excellent storage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Cotswold House is approached via an attractive ‘in-out’ gravel driveway, with ample parking and access to a double garage with power and light. Gated access on either side of the house leads to the rear terrace, a sheltered and private space ideal for entertaining.

The gardens are a real highlight: south-facing, private and extending to just under half an acre. Raised beds brim with fruit and vegetables, including rhubarb, raspberries, carrots, pumpkins and herbs alongside giant sunflowers that add seasonal charm. Well-stocked borders are full of David Austin roses, buddleia, sedum and sweet william. Mature trees and shrubs such as Indian bean tree, crab apple and smoke bush ensure colour and interest throughout the year.
