Description:
The White House is a sensational semi-detached Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse believed to date back to the 18th Century. The front façade is both striking and beautiful with sash windows and steps up to the recessed front door. The current owners have cherished this home for the last five decades and it is very much a home with soul and character.
The hallway, with original flagstone floor, leads to the downstairs reception rooms. The dining room is bathed in natural light with two large sash windows. The sisal floor works beautifully with the feature wall paneling and makes this a wonderful room in which to entertain family and friends.
The kitchen/ breakfast room is ideal for everyday dining. The kitchen, with original tiled floor, is well laid out to provide ample storage and work top space. The garden room off the kitchen is a bright and light room and is perfect for morning coffees in the summer months overlooking the garden.
The wet room/shower room is a great addition to the downstairs living space.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises the sitting room which is a generously proportioned room with sash windows and open fireplace. This room is fabulous when hosting guests and equally a peaceful room in which to relax and unwind with a good book. Across the landing is the master bedroom which overlooks to stunning garden and has an en suite bathroom.
There are three further bedrooms on the second floor and a family bathroom. All the bedrooms are well proportioned and have a lovely welcoming feel to them.
The enclosed garden is a true haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of town. It is truly magical and offers both space and privacy. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with colourful herbaceous borders and a variety of specimen trees. There is a selection of outbuildings which subject to obtaining the necessary consents could be converted to provide further accommodation. To the side of the house is a store alongside the car port and garage.
Vendors' thoughts: "The White House has been a wonderful family home for us for over 50 years. All those years ago when I first saw the beautiful, elegant staircase, the house sold itself to me and I still feel the same, every time I walk through the door."
In a nutshell: A true Cotswold gem full of character, charm and soul.
