4 bedroom detached house

Badgers Bank is a unique property that was originally two separate dwellings. Dating from the 17th century, one part was originally the village forge and is set well back from the village lane in a picturesque spot. The property is built of Cotswold stone with a wealth of period features and sits centrally within its own gardens and grounds. The accommodation briefly comprises of an entrance hall with a cloakroom off which in turn leads through to the kitchen with a full range of units, including a Belfast sink, integrated single oven, AGA, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and drier. This in turn leads through to the impressive dining room with beamed vaulted ceiling, exposed Cotswold stone walls, oak flooring and central stone fireplace with log burning stove. Beyond the rear hall is a further reception room, currently used as a study with slate floor, double doors to the terrace and a central log burning store. There are two more beautiful reception rooms, both with large inglenook fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. The main sitting room has a door out to the rear terrace.

The bedroom accommodation is approached by two separate staircases. The spacious principal bedroom with dressing area fitted with wardrobes, has a vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine floor offering a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the views. Bedroom 2 can also be found to this end of the house and both have the use of a family bathroom with bath and shower over. To the other side of the house are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, serviced by a family shower room.

Garden and Grounds
No doubt the uniqueness of Badgers Bank are the wonderful gardens and grounds that surround the property. These offer the property a high degree of privacy yet sitting centrally within the village. Badgers Bank is surrounded by a number of terraces, which are wonderful places to sit out and enjoy al fresco dining and entertaining. The grounds have meandering pathways through the wooded areas, with some areas laid to lawn. Mature shrubs and trees surround the property, adding to its uniqueness.

The property also benefits from a paddock to one side and sitting centrally within the village with access from the lane. This would be ideal for equestrian use or just as additional land for protection. The outbuildings include a tack room shed and stone built bothy, both ideal for storage. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1 acre in total.
