The Property – A beautifully presented cottage, situated in the picturesque hamlet of Dean. Faced in natural Cotswold stone, the property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically extended to retain its original character and charm while providing well-balanced, contemporary living accommodation. The property further benefits from a wild garden of approximately 0.1 acres.

Ground Floor - The front door opens into a porch, which in turn leads into the stunning kitchen/dining room. This highly sociable space features an impressive vaulted ceiling, oak flooring, and a charming window seat. Being triple aspect, light floods in and enjoys lovely views over the garden. The bespoke, hand-painted kitchen offers a range of base and wall units crafted from tulipwood, complemented by top quality granite worktops. A central island provides additional workspace as well as being the hub that space works around. Further features include a double Belfast sink and a Rangemaster cooker. This space flows seamlessly into the sitting room, where doors open out onto a paved terrace, with a timber pergola. There is a separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, along with cloakroom facilities. To the front of the property is a music room/snug. This dual aspect room boasts a window seat and a fireplace enclosing a wood-burning stove.

First Floor - The main bedroom is located on the first floor and features a wardrobe and contemporary en suite shower room with rainfall shower. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, and a family bathroom with roll top bath.

Second Floor - Stairs from the landing rise to the Second floor, which features a bedroom with Velux windows, and a wardrobe.

Outside - The property is approached via a lane leading to a private driveway, providing parking for two vehicles. The rear garden is west-facing and is predominantly laid to lawn with mature borders. It features a paved seating area set beneath a timber pergola, a garden shed, and a study/home office with light and power which could have a multitude of different uses. The cherry on top of this most delicious cake is that the property benefits from its own private ‘wild garden’. This ‘woodland idyl’ is located directly opposite, and the current owners have used it for a multitude of purposes over their tenure. It is the perfect counterpoint to the more formal garden behind the property and offers great scope to be altered to its next owners requirements.

Location - Dean is an idyllic and peaceful hamlet set within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by open countryside and offering a number of scenic walks through fields and woodland.

Chipping Norton is also within easy reach, providing a broader range of supermarkets, dining options, leisure facilities, and a well-regarded theatre.
