4 bedroom detached house for sale

An excellent detached Cotswold stone house

Description

Glebe House is a mellow stone house situated in a generous plot in the hillside village of Bourton-on-the-Hill. The current owners have invested considerably in the property both inside and out to create an impressive and stylish home situated in beautiful gardens.

The property is entered via a spacious entrance hall which leads through to a double aspect sitting room with a bay window overlooking the south-facing garden. Double doors open into the garden. Adjacent to the sitting room is a study with an extensive range of built in shelves and cupboards. Both the sitting room and study have fireplaces with wood burning stoves. The heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast/garden room created by the current owners. This is a wonderfully light room which makes the most of the south facing orientation and the lovely views across the garden and beyond. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and a substantial island providing extra preparation space and storage. The island incorporates a wine chiller and a hob. At one end is a very useful breakfast bar. Doors lead out to an attractive paved terrace with shallow steps down to the lawn. The terrace extends along the entire rear elevation. Completing the ground floor is a WC, utility and plant room.
Stairs rise to the first floor where there are four excellent double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and a wall of fitted cabinets. There are three further bedrooms and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom with separate shower. All the bedrooms have south facing views over the surrounding countryside.
Accessed via a loft hatch and ladder is a large fully boarded storage area with power and light.

Situated away from the house is a substantial barn/garage which provides ample covered parking and secure storage. Potential exists to convert the barn for alternative uses subject to consent.

The property is approached through electric gates and onwards over a gravel drive leading to an ample parking area. The mature enclosed gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders, shrubs, trees and greenhouse, lie to the front and rear of the property.

The property enjoys beautiful views towards the Church at the front and the Sezincote Estate to the rear.
