3 bedroom terraced house for sale

A charming Grade II-listed cottage with beautifully appointed interiors at the centre of Northleach.

Description

Lyon Cottage enjoys a charming setting in prime position at the centre of Northleach, moments from the ever-popular village pub, The Wheatsheaf Inn. The attractive double-fronted cottage was built in the 17th century and is traditionally built from Cotswold stone, offering excellent kerb appeal. Period features abound, such as sash windows and wood doors, and the cottage is Grade II listed to reflect its age and character. Internally it has been extensively modernised, including a new kitchen and utility room, updated bathrooms and plumbing and cosmetic redecoration, and it is well appointed and deceptively spacious.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is well laid out, with good flow and natural light. The ground floor comprises a reception room, study, an open plan dining room and kitchen and a separate utility and cloakroom. The first floor has two bedrooms and a family bathroom, while on the top floor there’s a lovely principal suite with dressing room, bedroom and en suite bathroom, enjoying fabulous views over the village church.

Outside
The cottage sits directly on West End, with on-street parking available locally. To the rear there is a delightful southwest-facing garden, which is walled to either side making it feel very private. The garden has three paved areas for seating and the rest is laid to vegetable plots and flowerbeds, though there is excellent scope for additional landscaping.

Location

Northleach is a small historic market town situated about nine miles from the market town of Cirencester. Tucked away just off the A40, between undulating hills, it stands at a crossroads on the Roman Fosse Way, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The streets in and around the ancient marketplace are rich in architectural interest ranging from half-timbered Tudor houses to merchants’ stores. Northleach has an excellent variety of shops including an award-winning butcher, a vintner, a chemist and a Post Office. The town also benefits from a doctor’s surgery, primary school, nursery, a magnificent medieval church and the well-regarded Wheatsheaf Inn, a Mr & Mrs Smith boutique hotel.

More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham and Oxford, including Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies, Wycliffe and Rencomb. A lively charter market is held every Wednesday and the Charter Fair is held annually in June.

Junction 11A of the M5 motorway is about 16 miles away giving access to Bristol and Birmingham, and junction 15 of the M4 about 26 miles away giving access to London.





Directions

From Cirencester, proceed east and cross over the A419. At the traffic lights, turn left onto the Fosse Way and continue to the traffic lights. Turn right towards Northleach and head for the centre of town; the property will be on the right-hand side before the market square, just before The Wheatsheaf Inn.
