seamlessly, making it an ideal house for entertaining.
The house successfully blends period character with modern comfort, featuring natural stone and oak flooring, exposed stonework, leaded windows and attractive fireplaces.

The front door, set beneath an open pillared entrance porch, opens into an entrance hall with oak flooring, which continues through to the dining room/conservatory. A study and cloakroom are also accessed from the hall.

At the heart of the house is a spacious sitting room featuring two stone fireplaces, one of which houses a wood-burning stove. This room flows through to a light-filled dining room/garden room, also accessed from the entrance hall. It features a striking ceiling lantern, arched windows, and a door to the rear paved terrace, enjoying delightful views over the landscaped garden.

The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room includes composite worktops, an LPG-fired AGA, Belfast sink and integrated appliances including a combination oven, dishwasher and fridge. French doors lead directly to the garden. A separate fitted utility room provides a Belfast sink and space for a washer-dryer and tall fridge freezer.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom, featuring decorative wall panelling, benefits from a dressing room with built-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. A second bedroom also has an en suite shower room and eaves storage, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate double shower.

Plum Tree House is approached via double oak entrance gates set within Cotswold stone walls, opening onto a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles. The front garden is attractively arranged with areas of lawn, box hedging and mature Indian bean trees, with pathways leading to the front door.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, offering a peaceful and private setting. Immediately adjacent to the house is a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, complemented by a further lower garden and a terraced shingle seating area beneath a pergola. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and features an abundance of mature shrubs and trees, flower beds, topiary, box hedging and a magnificent trained wisteria trailing over the rear of the house.
A private gated access leads directly from the garden onto the village green immediately behind the property, which includes a children’s play area — a rare and especially appealing feature.
