4 bedroom terraced house

A charming and deceptively spacious Grade II Listed period cottage, Cotswold Cottage exudes character and history while offering modern comforts. Originally dating back to the 17th century and formerly serving as the village shop and tailor's premises, this beautiful home has been tastefully renovated and extended to create a truly unique living space. Situated in the picturesque village of Naunton, nestled in a peaceful valley along the River Windrush, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful historic residence in the heart of the Cotswolds. The entrance hall leads through to a wonderfully bright and comfortable sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace, a log-burning stove, original beams, a window seat, and exposed stonework. The property offers underfloor heating and part double glazing for comfort and efficiency. The spacious sitting room leads into a cosy reception space and a playroom/snug and on into the dining room with a Cotswold stone fireplace and oak flooring. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is beyond and features base and wall units, walnut work surfaces, flagstone flooring, and double doors leading to the rear terrace. On the first floor are three generous bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom, and a principal bedroom suite situated on the second floor. On the first floor is also a quirky study room approached from the hallway. As with many Cotswold cottages, which is what makes them so charming, the ceiling heights are varied and, for some, maybe slightly restricted.

Outside
The gardens are delightful and consist of a south-facing garden with raised beds and a terrace area, perfect for outdoor enjoyment. This is approached through French doors, which are easily accessed from the kitchen. The gardens are abundantly stocked with wisteria, lavender and English country garden flowers. To one end of the garden is a flight of stone steps that lead to a large stone outbuilding/workshop studio with power that subject to any planning and renovation, could become a home office, studio or gym. This exceptional period cottage offers a perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary living, making it a wonderful family home or an idyllic countryside retreat. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this stunning property has to offer.
