Positioned in the centre of this beautiful North Cotswold village yet having the benefit of a private well screened south facing garden to the rear and off street parking for five vehicles, this detached two storey five bedroom country retreat has been extended, enhanced and embellished by the present owners to whom the property pays the highest compliment.

Walking through each room in the property is like turning the pages of Homes and Gardens magazine. The extensions include two full height additions to the rear with two tri-fold doors from the kitchen and family room creating the perfect picture windows overlooking the mature rear garden. The full programme of modernisation and redevelopment includes an expansive fitted kitchen with Quartz worktops, a wide range of integrated appliances, a central island unit and part underfloor heating. The adjacent spacious utility room also has direct access to the garden and an "all important doggie shower."

The property has not only a winter living room with a Cotswold stone fireplace and a homely wood burning stove but also a summer living room to the rear formed in part open plan with the kitchen.

At first floor level there is a stunning 25ft long landing area with skylight windows and a full height window overlooking the garden. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, two with ensuite shower rooms and a spacious family bathroom all having rain shower heads. There is a further double bedroom on the ground floor.

The light and airy accommodation has been designed for optimum light penetration particularly to the rear with all double glazed windows some with integrated blinds. All internal engineered latch and brace doors and Karndean flooring to the whole of the ground floor. The property is further warmed with gas fired central heating and a pressurised water system. Further enhancements include a separate study for those looking to work from home beyond which there is a gym/dance studio.

Externally the property has its own parking bay and a beautifully landscaped ornamental garden also relatively private. The rear garden has a wealth of mature trees and two separate areas for alfresco dining.

The property is located just off the High Street where walks can be enjoyed in the surrounding countryside directly from the front door. The village has two public houses, its own primary school and, a now famous, village shop and tearooms that opens as a fine dining restaurant several evenings a week. The village is located midway between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditional market town of Moreton in Marsh where there are rail links to London Paddington.
