The accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and briefly comprises: entrance hall, study/snug and handy cloakroom, dual aspect sitting room with large inglenook fireplace dated from 1632 and inset woodburning stove. A well appointed kitchen/dining room with a range of units, granite work surfaces, including a separate cooking area with Rayburn, built-in double oven, drawer-fridge and electric hob, complimented with limestone flooring throughout and opening onto the garden with wonderful views of the lawn, borders and church beyond.

Externally, the Cotswold stone walled garden is idyllic, being predominantly laid to lawn with a paved seating area, mature trees, shrubs and planting, providing a special private space in the heart of the village with beautiful aspects of St. James's bell-tower.

To the front of the house, the gravelled driveway provides parking for 2/3 vehicles and leads to the garage (part of the detached stone building/barn) with double opening wooden doors accessing the double garage, offering windows and pedestrian doors to allow a light space and other access points.
