Description

The Lodge is a substantial detached house built in the year 2000 on the grounds of a former farm workers cottage. The property occupies an outstanding rural location, surrounded by 360-degrees of endless views over rolling Cotswold countryside. The idyllic surrounds are unspoilt with notably no power lines in sight, and therefore favoured regularly as film and television locations.

Internally, the accommodation is superbly proportioned with generous room sizes throughout extending in all to 2,866 sq.ft. over two floors. The entire accommodation is heated with zoned underfloor heating aided by a heat recovery system, allowing total freedom of furniture placement due to the absence of radiators. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall has stairs ascending with an understairs cupboard and WC. The L-shaped living room is dual-aspect with a large fireplace at the focal point. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with handmade maple units around a central breakfast island. Double doors open to the garden room which has a lovely outlook over the garden and adjoining fields. Completing the ground floor, there is a home office and utility room with rear access and access leading to the garage. Upstairs, there are three excellent bedrooms all with built-in storage. The family bathroom is located off the landing. The dual-aspect principal bedroom suite enjoys the best views with a south-facing outlook over the surrounds. This main bedroom benefits further from a dressing room and en-suite fully fitted with dual-sinks, bath and separate shower.

Externally, the property sits within a 0.50 acre plot. The driveway opens to a gravelled forecourt providing ample private parking in addition to the double garage. The garage has a useful room above which has potential to be converted into something more if desired. The lovely gardens are laid mostly to lawn, bound by Cotswold stone walls and mature hedging. There is an outbuilding garden store which has power connected.
