Well-appointed detached village house standing in charming landscaped gardens and grounds which extend to just under an acre

Furlong Farm House is a substantial and well-appointed detached village house standing in charming landscaped gardens and grounds which extend to just under an acre. Built circa 1900, the limewashed brick property has been a wonderful family home and has undergone considerable refurbishment over the years. The house benefits from good ceiling height throughout, offering spacious and bright accommodation over two floors. Additionally, it offers further potential to extend significantly subject to planning.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises: reception hall with flagstone floor, a bespoke Plain English kitchen with handmade units and Rangemaster double oven with 5-ring induction hob. This opens into a dining area with French doors to the terrace and underfloor heating. The drawing room with stone fireplace is dual aspect and is a lovely room for more formal entertaining. There is also a garden room, which currently serves as a further reception room. On the first floor is a wonderful dual aspect principal bedroom suite complimented by an en-suite bathroom with four additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The current owners secured valuable planning permission under the design of award-winning architects Tyack Architects, for a single-story side extension and rear two-story extension to provide additional storage (now lapsed), a generous garden room and reconfiguration of the first floor to provide an even larger master bedroom suite while retaining four further bedrooms.
The property is set back from the lane behind a Cotswold stone wall with ample space for parking. The garden to the front is landscaped around a mature apple tree with herbaceous borders complimented by topiary Box, Yew and Beech. The substantial rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with Beech hedging, is south-facing and enjoys summer sun all day. Clipped Holm Oaks and decorative oak gates lead to a kitchen garden with quince tree; running parallel to the kitchen garden, an allée of Crab-apples underplanted with snowdrops, crocuses, and narcissi continues to an orchard with garden store. Here, a romantic wild-flower meadow provides a haven for natural life, including butterflies, dragonflies, insects, and birds.

Nether Westcote is a small attractive Cotswold village with a renowned gastro pub, The Feathered Nest and a Parish Church in nearby Church Westcote. The popular market towns of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold both offer excellent amenities such as schools, petrol stations, banks, libraries, doctors’ surgeries and supermarkets.

A strategic approach with 'up front' and 'direct fee structures' - we have no 'tie in or lengthy contract'. We invest in the premier marketing techniques that help your home 'stand out from the crowd'. We have a thorough understanding of the local property market and a first-class track record of success in properties in Burford, surrounding villages and rest of The Cotswolds. We won't waste your time with inflated valuations or show your home to the mildly curious. We'll work harder to get to know you, make the right associations and secure the best deal. Our fantastic connections with London coupled with over 25 years' experience in Estate Agency have enabled us to secure a brilliant alliance with the leading agents and property hunters who are looking for clients who wish to move out to Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and beyond. Collectively we have amassed decades of experience of both London and The Cotswolds property markets providing us with an impressive track record of sales. We have many local vendors and purchasers who would be only too happy to give you a glowing reference about our services. Radnor Martin maintain an office for formal meetings but have no traditional shop window since this does little to enhance the sales process from a client perspective and does not reflect today's digitally driven marketplace.
