3 bedroom semi-detached house

Description

Halfpenny Cottage is an attractive Cotswold stone semi-detached home located in the very heart of the popular village of Shipton Moyne. Built as four Alms Houses by the renowned neoclassic architect James Wyatt in 1851, the whole was redeveloped into two dwellings in 2018 and  refurbished to an exacting standard sympathetically retaining period features such as stone mullion windows and exposed beams while combining high specification modern finishes including underfloor heating on the ground floor and solid oak doors throughout.

Arranged over two floors, the beautifully presented accommodation extends in all to 1,378 sq.ft. The ground floor comprises a light and airy entrance hall with cloakroom off and tumbled limestone flooring which continues to the impressive kitchen/dining room. The kitchen boasts bespoke Russell Alexander units, built-in appliances, bi-folding doors to the garden and a utility room off with rear access. The spacious living room has a stone fireplace with wood burning stove inset and black oiled oak flooring. Stairs up from the entrance hall leads to the first-floor landing which serves three good bedrooms and a family bathroom whilst the principal bedroom has built-in storage and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has two large walk-in wardrobes with lighting.

Externally, the front garden is laid easy to maintain enclosed by natural stone walls whilst the rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with a large patio immediately off the kitchen and steps up to the good sized lawn with lavender borders, an apple tree and useful stone store. The driveway is secured with a five-bar gate leading down the side of the property to the garage located at the rear.
