Swan House is a delightful and handsome Grade II listed family house in the idyllic and enviable Millwood End Conservation Area on the edge of the thriving village of Long Hanborough and the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Built in 1690 of Cotswold stone under a stone roof, the four-bay facade, with an attractive porch is more than striking. The fabulous kitchen and dining rooms, along with the annexe were added in 2008. The building was a well-respected public house
until 2012 when it was carefully converted into a home.

Internally, the main reception rooms are well proportioned with generous ceiling heights. The layout is more open-plan than you might expect given the character and period nature of the property The combination results in a terrific entertaining space with a period feel. The stunning 26ft contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, with multiple wall and base units and central island, blend modern features with the flagstone floors of the adjoining 24ft dining room, leading into the sitting room with inglenook. Very much the main hub of the house.

Both the sitting room and formal drawing room have magnificent inglenook fireplaces fitted with Chesney woodburning stoves. There is also a useful separate family room with a cloakroom and large utility room. Below the drawing room, a 14' x 12' cellar provides further space for wine and general storage. Above, the first floor has 2 elegant bedrooms and newly fitted stylish bathrooms with a further 2 attic bedrooms and study/sitting area on the second floor.

Outside the property, there is a Cotswold stone building divided into three ensuite bedrooms each with their own access. There is also an adjoining store and cloakroom. The annexe provides valuable additional space, historically used for family/guest bedrooms and as successful Bed & Breakfast accommodation, but versatile and easily convertible.

To the rear are two sun terraces and large garden laid to lawn, flanked with flower beds, raised beds, a greenhouse and a garden store. There is ample parking to the front and side of the house. In all, Swan House is an impressive family home, with versatile
accommodation and huge character throughout.
