Charming family home in a delightful village.

Description

The Elms is a charming, Grade II listed family home, of Cotswold stone construction under a slate roof. Steeped in history and originally dating back to 1613, the property was rebuilt in 1856 and has been under the same ownership for nearly 20 years.

This beautiful home is central in a delightful village setting, boasting a wealth of period features throughout, spacious and versatile accommodation over three floors and lovely gardens. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall with flagstone flooring, leading through to the kitchen. A generous space with a Lacanche cooker with 5 ring hob, granite work surfaces, beautiful flooring, window seats, and plenty of room for a breakfast table or even an island, making it a wonderful hub of the home. Adjoining is a separate dining room for more formal occasions with a generous log burner and beautiful wooden flooring. The sitting room is charming, with focal attention being drawn to another log burner and striking stone mullion windows and window shutters with aspect of the front garden. There is also a utility area, with traditional Butlers sink and space for white goods, a downstairs cloakroom and shoe cupboard.

Upstairs offers a sizeable principal bedroom with feature fireplace, walk in wardrobe and an en suite with a bath and overhead shower. Continuing, the first floor also has three further light bedrooms. There is also a family shower room with modern fixtures and fittings. On the top floor there is even more versatile accommodation with another spacious bedroom and separate shower room, open plan sitting room and work area with wonderful views, making it perfect for a guest suite, play area or even a home office.

Outside is an oasis, with pockets of garden to be discovered all around the property. There are lovely lawned areas to the front and rear with a variety of patio seating areas perfect for the summer evenings and alfresco dining. An abundance of mature trees, bushes, flower beds and vegetable garden can be enjoyed too. The Elms also has great potential with its outbuilding/ barn which has previously had planning permission, ideal for conversion. (Planning reference 08/02932/LBC on the Stratford-Upon-Avon website portal) There is also a gravelled driveway with parking for numerous cars.
