A character cottage set in the idyllic rural location of Stancombe, surrounded by open countryside and a stone's-throw from the Cotswold Way. Arranged over three floors the property offers a great deal of space and charm alongside some retained features and a wonderful outlook and aspect.

A generous entrance hallway with a stable door and a large walk-in storage cupboard leads into the kitchen/breakfast room which offers a range of fitted wall and base units and space for a breakfast table.

The kitchen in turn leads into a good size sitting room with a feature fireplace and a generous understairs storage cupboard, this in turn leads into the conservatory which has a spectacular view over the garden and woodland beyond and offers a southerly aspect.

Cottage stairs with a latch door ascend from the sitting room to a spacious landing which serves two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The generous double bedroom has a wonderful outlook across the garden and a door leading into the well-proportioned shower room which has a 'Jack-and-Jill' door onto the hallway offering a great deal of flexibility.

The family bathroom could benefit from updating but is a good size and offers a bath with shower over, the adjacent bedroom would make a great child's bedroom with its quirky shape creating a natural bed platform. Further cottage stairs ascend from the first floor landing to the master bedroom which is a vast room occupying the entire attic space, complete with the original A-frame.
