Forming an integral part of the street scene of this ever popular tree-lined High Street in the North Cotswolds and offering deceptively spacious and beautifully renovated accommodation, this semi-detached, three-storey, four double bedroom double-fronted 17th Century townhouse must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated and early inspection is advised.

The property combines the innate character and charm of a Grade II listed period home with all the contemporary refinements of modern day living, enhanced and embellished by the present owners to whom the property pays the highest compliment.

Original features include stone mullion windows, some internal pointed stone work, including three original fireplaces and exposed beams and roof timbers. Modern, aesthetically pleasing features include most double glazed renewed leaded paned Crittall windows and secondary double glazing. The property has a combination gas fired central heating system firing a large Mega Flow pressurised hot water tank in the loft and also providing piped and zoned underfloor heating to all of the ground floor.

There are three separate reception rooms with the front sitting room having a homely woodburning stove and the large airy dining room to the rear with a southerly and westerly aspect. The stylishly fitted kitchen has a range of integrated appliances, most importantly, the accommodation flows quite naturally from room to room. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, one with an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom. On the second floor, the largest bedroom has the option of being the master suite with its own bathroom and spacious landing area. Externally, the property has a large courtyard with southerly and westerly aspects taking full advantage of the sun most of the day and perfect for alfresco dining. Only to be described further in superlatives the property is recommended for those wanting to be part of the history of Moreton-in-Marsh with all renovations complete.

The property could not be more conveniently located amidst neighbouring quality shops, hostelries and restaurants and is only 500 yards from the towns railway station with links to Oxford and London Paddington. Whilst there is no allocated parking for the property, there is free on-street parking.
