Description
Paddock House is a distinguished Grade II listed village residence, beautifully constructed of natural stone beneath a traditional clay tiled roof with handsome stone copings and substantial stone chimneys.
Rich in period character, the property displays an abundance of original architectural features including stone mullioned windows, many retaining leaded light panes, together with impressive fireplaces, exposed beams and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors.
The welcoming reception hall sits at the heart of the house, with the principal reception rooms positioned on either side. The elegant sitting room is centred around a magnificent open stone fireplace and is thoughtfully arranged over two levels, creating an attractive secondary seating area overlooking the gardens.
Opposite, the formal dining room provides a wonderfully atmospheric space for entertaining, featuring a substantial inglenook fireplace with an impressive bressummer beam and inset wood-burning stove.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room extends across the rear of the property, forming the natural hub of the home and enjoying direct access to both the conservatory and the generous utility room. The stone-based, timber-framed conservatory enjoys delightful views across the gardens and provides an ideal setting for year-round enjoyment.
Beyond the utility is a further reception room, presently utilised as a home office, offering flexibility as a family room, playroom or ground floor bedroom if required. A separate entrance hall serving the western side of the house, together with a shower room and WC, creates excellent potential for independent or multi-generational living.
On the first floor the property offers four generous double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks, together with two well-appointed family bath/shower rooms. Extensive under-eaves storage provides valuable additional space.

Outside, Paddock House is approached from the village lane via an attractive Cotswold gravel driveway leading to a generous parking area. The driveway continues beyond to serve the neighbouring property. A separate pedestrian pathway leads through the beautifully maintained front garden, where lawns are complemented by established shrubs and mature planting.
Adjacent to the parking area stands a substantial detached former Coach House, constructed of natural stone beneath a slate roof, providing garaging at ground floor level with extensive first-floor storage offering considerable potential, subject to any necessary consents.
The principal gardens extend to the rear, creating a wonderfully private setting with lawns, mature trees and established shrub borders surrounding a charming summerhouse. A broad paved terrace adjoins the conservatory, providing an excellent space for outdoor entertaining, family gatherings and al fresco dining throughout the warmer months.

P.S. A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
