A pretty semi-detached cottage with beautiful garden

Description

13 Windrush is set back off the village lane in the heart of
Windrush between the upper and lower village greens with far reaching views across the valley to Barrington Park and the beautiful dovecote. The property was constructed of Cotswold stone elevations under a Cotswold stone roof in 1911 and has been completely refurbished. The property offers potential for further extension subject to any necessary consents.

A gabled Cotswold stone porch leads into the entrance hall. To the right of the hall is the living/dining room with a fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Across the hall
is a double aspect sitting room, again with a fireplace with wood burning stove. The living/dining room leads to the kitchen which is fitted with an excellent range of handmade cabinets, high end integrated appliances and a belfast sink. Beyond the kitchen is a well-appointed shower room. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with roll top bath, all with pretty period fireplaces. The sitting room on the ground floor could also be used as a third bedroom.

To the rear of the property is a good sized garden laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. There is a south-west facing terrace which is ideal for al fresco dining. At the far end of the garden is a stone outbuilding comprising storage and a former pig pen.

The property will appeal specifically to discerning buyers looking for a permanent home, weekend retreat or holiday cottage.
