Substantial village house with stunning countryside views.

Description

Acrey Lane is an attractive house situated in a wonderful rural location and enjoys sublime views over the adjoining Cotswold countryside. The property is constructed of a mix of traditional Cotswold stone and red brick with mullion windows.

The front door opens into a welcoming hall with a downstairs cloakroom. To the left is the sitting room with dual aspect views and French doors opening out onto the elegant terrace. The wood-burning stove is a particular feature adding an abundance of character and charm. This leads to the study, which is an extremely flexible space with access onto the driveway. Adjacent to the study is a sizeable workshop which is insulated and heated and could therefore be used for a range of purposes including as a home office or for storage.

Returning back to the hall, the snug provides a more informal reception room with an open fireplace and French doors leading out onto the terrace.

The kitchen/diner is fitted with shaker style cabinets and integrated appliances including an Aga. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs.

Accessed from the kitchen is the well-equipped utility room with a vaulted ceiling, back door, and a pantry. The studio is accessed via the utility room, providing a flexible work from home space, playroom or further accommodation. The adjoining barn provides an opportunity for further conversion (subject to the necessary planning permissions) with access internally from the studio and a separate external door.

The staircase leads from the hall to the first floor bedroom accommodation, comprising of three double bedrooms and one single, the principal bedroom being an en suite with a dressing room, and a family bathroom.

Outside the courtyard gardens and paddocks extend to just under 3.95 acres. The partially covered terrace is an ideal space for sheltered entertaining and alfresco dining. There are three stables and a carport, as well as parking for several vehicles.

The property will appeal to a broad audience of buyers and in particular those looking for a family home enjoying a rural position yet within comfortable driving distance of Broadway as well as the larger centres of Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Worcester.
