Description:
New Pike House is a superb Cotswold home only a short walk from the heart of Bibury. Superbly located, the owner has been mindful to create an inviting and versatile home.
In the main house, the kitchen/dining room is clearly the heart of the house and a great room in which to entertain family and friends. There is plenty of worktop space and ample storage and with windows overlooking the garden this is a bright and light room.
The adjacent sitting room with open fireplace and dual aspect window and sliding doors is a wonderful room in which to relax after a long country walk.
The utility room with garden access and the cloakroom are great additions to the ground floor living space.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. All the rooms have been superbly laid out to provide ample discreet storage and plenty of natural light.
The annex can be accessed from the main house whilst also having its own independent entrance from the driveway. This self-contained accommodation comprises a kitchen, a sitting room with sliding doors leading to the terrace and garden, a bedroom and a bathroom. Previously this was part of the main house and was converted to accommodate elderly relative.
The flat is located on the first floor and is accessed by a set of stairs to the side of the house. It comprises a kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. Large Velux windows allow for an abundance of natural light with views over the neighbouring countryside.
Outside, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with herbaceous borders and fruit trees. Two raised vegetable beds are perfect for the green fingered enthusiast and the flowerbeds offer a splendid array of colourful blooms throughout the seasons. The terrace is ideal for enjoying the summer sunshine and for al fresco dining. A summerhouse offers plenty of storage for garden tools and the driveway to the front provides ample off-road parking.
We understand planning permission was granted to build a garage on the driveway.
Vendors' thoughts: "New Pike House has been a great family home. It has been so versatile with lots of space. in the summer months it’s amazing to throw open the doors and windows onto the garden and to enjoy the sun, wildlife and lambs in the neighbouring fields.
The annex my father lived offers plenty of room and was super for him to have us close to hand. My daughter lived in the flat for a while which was wonderful.
Bibury is an easy walking distance either via the fields or footpaths with lovely cafes, pubs, the Trout Farm. There are so many wonderful walks on the doorstep.
This has been the friendliest village I have ever known and it will be one of the saddest parts of leaving."
In a nutshell: A versatile and welcoming home in a superb edge of village location.
