Description
This is a very handsome Grade II Listed property, built in the mid 18th century of local honey coloured stone elevations under a Cotswold stone tile hipped roof.

A welcoming reception hall leads with an original file floor to the principal ground floor rooms. Two large and square reception rooms at the front of the building with fireplaces and wood panelling and high ceilings. At the rear of the house is a superb open plan kitchen/dining/family room, excellent for entertaining and opening into the garden through glazed double doors. There is a utility room and W.C on this floor with a door leading down to the spacious cellar and a staircase leads up to the three upper floors arranged as six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms. One of the bedrooms on the first floor has a large walk-in wardrobe as well as opening into a large conservatory that leads into the garden at the rear of the property.
A tarmac driveway leads to a large garage and store area with parking for numerous cars in front. The gardens are arranged around the house, a lawn with a pond and shrub borders to the front, again with the views, whilst a large paved patio leads around the side, creating a Mediterranean feel with climbing plants perfect for al fresco dining. Steps lead up to a vegetable garden and terrace. There is a further lawn to the rear, next to an indoor swimming pool, in need of updating.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
