4 bedroom cottage

Description

Pear Tree Cottage is a charming, detached period cottage set in the ever-popular quaint village of Shipton Moyne, just a few miles outside of Tetbury. This very pretty home is available to the market for the first time in over 20 years. The cottage, which is set back from the road, boasts considerable features including large gardens of 0.40 acres, a converted home office with shower room, and a garden studio. Internally, the cottage has been upgraded and evolved into a versatile home with 1,592 sq.ft of accommodation arranged over two floors. The cottage displays an abundance of charm with traditional fireplaces, wood-burners and exposed timber beams.

The ground floor is arranged as open plan allowing the rooms to flow superbly from one to another. The kitchen is positioned at the front with fitted timber units and integrated appliances set around a large breakfast bar.  The dining room has a downstairs WC off and a fireplace at the focal point. The principal living area adjoins an excellent oak framed garden room complete with underfloor heating. The family bathroom also features underfloor heating and is located on the first floor fitted with both a roll-top bath and shower unit. There are four bedrooms on the first floor.

A former garage has been fully converted into a brilliant home office with adjoining shower room, all with heating and wifi. This could serve as an occasional bedroom suite or even a home gym. Part of the garage has been retained for storage requirements with a loft hatch above. Within the rear garden, there is a modern garden studio complete with electricity, lighting, heating and wifi/telephone points.

The Grounds

There is private off-street parking at the front beside the garage with the addition of an EV charging point. The east-facing front garden sets the cottage well away from the lane laid mostly to lawn with an apple tree at the centre. The rear garden has been landscaped with a sunken patio terrace and steps up to a lawn. Beyond the garden studio, there are further garden areas to enjoy which adjoin the neighbouring fields for a peaceful outlook. At the far end of the gardens there is a lovely orchard. The gardens are a secure haven to enjoy suitable for a range of needs for children, pets or a smallholding.
