A very well-presented historic house in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

This detached property is more than 300 years old and has been beautifully converted from an inn and two attached cottages. The main accommodation is just over 1000 sq. ft. (97 sq. m.) and other buildings add nearly 500 sq. ft. (42 sq. m.).

Entrance lobby: (8' 8" x 4') fully glazed and leading to large kitchen/diner (14' 9" x 10') with two windows to the East. A well-fitted kitchen with a range of pine units and beech work surfaces, double stainless-steel sink and drainer with mixer taps, space for cooker, fridge-freezer and washing machine. Good space for family dining. Wall-mounted central-heating boiler. At one end is the door to a storeroom with fitted shelves leading to a Cloakroom with W.C, washbasin and extractor fan. At the other end is the door to the dining/sitting room.

Dining room: (15' 7" x 9' 10" max) with efficient wood-burning stove in original large beamed, inglenook fireplace with raised slate hearth. Two south-facing windows with window seats plus an east-facing window overlooking the stream and valley with a shelved cupboard under. Historic old bread oven, exposed beams, staircase to first wing. Could be used as your downstairs sitting room. Door to study.

Study: (10' 8" x 9' max) with fitted bookshelves, telephone point, exposed beams and glazed door facing east. Staircase to second wing. Door to bathroom.

Bathroom: (9' 10" x 9') with pedestal wash-hand basin, panelled bath, shower, low level W.C, windows to east and south. Second wall-mounted multi-point gas boiler for hot water to bathroom, extractor fan.

Versatile accommodation in two wings: The first floor has two wings accessed by separate staircases. This allows for great privacy whereby a teenager, say, could have his/her own wing. The walls are so thick that very little sound is transmitted from one wing to the other. First wing, accessed via the staircase from the dining room.

Living room: (22' 2" x 10' 8" max) vaulted ceiling with original exposed oak beams, top quality modern "Woodwarm" cast-iron wood-burning closed fire with a large stone hearth, east- and west-facing windows, TV, VHF and telephone point. Door to bedroom one.

Second wing, accessed via the staircase from the study

Bedroom two: (9' 10" x 9') A twin-bedded room with fitted wardrobe, windows to east and south and exposed beams. Bedroom three: (10' 8" x 9') A single bedroom which is galleried with curtains to provide privacy (could be replaced with a solid partition and door), windows to east, exposed beams, wardrobe space. Door to bedroom two.

The separate office (11' 8" x 9') Attached to the main house, but with a separate entrance. Fully fitted with shelving and an L-shaped desk unit. The office also has an electric heater, telephone point for the house phone plus an additional telephone line. The large window and half-glazed door look out onto the garden, stream and sunlit west-facing hillside opposite providing a wonderful view to distract you from work!

South-facing summer house (11' 8" x 7' 3") Situated against a south-facing wall looking back towards the house, this retreat benefits from full sun. It has fully insulated walls, lighting and power. The large windows and half-glazed door face in two directions giving views of the stream, cascades and valley.

Stone barn/stable (23' x 11' 6") This large detached stone-built barn/stable has a hayloft. It has lighting and power laid on. This provides excellent potential as an indoor games room, garage or additional accommodation.

Professionally landscaped The mill stream runs the full length of the long boundary. The garden has been professionally landscaped and terraced down to the mill stream which has several cascades. It has a lawn and beds planted with trees, flowering shrubs and plants. The terracing is of local stone and Cotswold chippings. Wildlife The mill stream is home to dippers and wild ducks as well as trout. There is a hard-surface driveway sufficient to park several cars. Close to the house are five large oak-framed raised beds which form a kitchen garden.
