Charming Grade II listed three bedroom cottage in the heart of one of the Cotswold’s most desirable villages.

Description

High Gables is an attractive stone built semi-detached period property set behind the village green in the heart of historic Bibury. The charming cottage was built in 1726 and has an array of beautifully preserved character features, including exposed beams, a vast inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and casement windows. These are complemented by modern additions such as underfloor heating, creating a well-appointed home which would make a great holiday let or a primary residence.

The accommodation extends to about 1,183 sq ft and comprises a sitting room, separate kitchen, a large double bedroom and bath/shower room on the first floor and two further bedrooms and a cloakroom on the second floor. There is also a stone store at the end of the garden which provides scope for conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
