The Property - Ferrimans is a Grade II listed period house that has been the family home and workplace of a writer, his textile designer wife, and their family for over fifty years. The façade is that of a terraced period cottage, but once through the front door there is an almost Tardis-like quality, as the spacious hall opens onto a vine-shaded South/East facing courtyard. Beyond an ancient specimen box tree lies a large walled garden extending to approximately 130 ft in length, right in the heart of the village, with views towards the impressive spire of All Saints Church. Along one side of the garden runs a historic 200-year-old brick fruit wall, while a traditional Cotswold dry-stone wall borders the other, together providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

Accomodation - The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, from which the first cellar is accessed via a concealed staircase. The hall leads through to an inner timber-framed corridor with doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen features quarry-tiled flooring and is fitted with a range of base and wall units, a sink, space for a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher, and an oil-fired AGA. Beyond is a well-proportioned dining room with a bay window and fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove. The sitting room retains Cotswold flagstone flooring and is centred around an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven and wood-burning stove. A spiral staircase rises from the room to a substantial first-floor landing and reception area with exposed wide elm floorboards.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two separate spiral staircases continue to the second floor, where there are two further generously sized bedrooms.

To the rear of the property is a ground-floor shower room and a 26 ft reception room, currently used as an art studio, from which stairs rise to a fifth bedroom that could also serve as additional studio or workspace accommodation. A second concealed staircase leads down to a larger cellar
