4 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Moreton-in-Marsh

2 4 2

Positioned on the outskirts of one of the most sought after villages in the North Cotswolds and offering deceptively spacious accommodation, this late 18th century, three storey, four bedroom country villa is full of the innate character and charm of the period and should be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

The property has been substantially extended on the ground floor in which the former garage has also been incorporated creating a large living space which can not be fully appreciated from the front elevation.

The main part of the cottage has recently had a completely new slate roof.

The property features hand crafted arched, small paned Batsford oak windows and internally there are many original beams and ledge and brace doors with a fashionable limed finish, and there are five recently renewed double glazed crittal windows to the rear. A homely wood burning stove can be found in the atmospheric living room, a separate dining room with double glazed French doors leading out onto the private flower planted garden, there is a bespoke handmade fitted kitchen with an Aga stove which provides unassuming atmosphere of calm and tranquility.

More contemporary refinements of the property include gas fired central heating from a combination boiler, a separate study, utility room and work room formed in a line, part of which has under floor heating, stylishly designed with good use of contemporary tiling. Externally the property has a block paved enclosed forecourt with off street parking for upto four vehicles and a small well stocked cottage garden to the rear. The adaptable accommodation now provides for at least one bedroom on every floor, however for those not requiring four bedrooms, the kitchen could be doubled in size for those with creative flare.

Draycott Road is located North East of Blockley village only 1/4 mile from the village centre where there is a community run local store and tearooms, two public houses, a primary school and the village is located midway between the Cotswold cafe society of Chipping Campden and the more traditionally market town of Moreton-in-Marsh with other rail links to London Paddington.
