A rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful 3 bedroom cottage within a total plot of approx ¼ of an acre within the Cotswolds.  The cottage is accessed via a 5 bar gate entering a sweeping gravelled driveway leading to the front of the property with perimeter post and rail fencing.  The property has truly beautiful views over open countryside and makes this idyllic property a real treat.  The cottage itself is believed to date back to approximately 1900 and was formally farm hand accommodation, over the years the property has been extended and modernized and has accommodation comprising: Entrance hall, Cloakroom, Living room, Kitchen/Breakfast room, Rear Lobby, 3 Bedrooms and family Bathroom, the property benefits from ample parking, gas central heating and part PVCu Double glazing, and a garage.  The cottage also has the benefit of having an out store attached to the property with storage, power and light and w.c.  Properties of this nature are very rare to the open market and we are strongly recommending an internal inspection.
