Draycott Cottage is situated in a private setting in the hamlet of Draycott which sits between Ickford and Tiddington. This is a stunning and beautifully presented Grade II listed four bedroom detached thatched house, with good ceiling height throughout and an array of period features which include polished flag stone floors, inglenook fire places, exposed ceiling and wall timbers, leaded windows and wooden latched doors, so indicative of a property of this period.
The current owners have maintained a wonderful mixture of character combined with modern features, such as the stylish ensuite bathroom and fully fitted kitchen with integrated electric hob and separate double oven. The ground floor accommodation comprises a light and airy sitting room and separate dining room, downstairs cloakroom, entrance hall, study and utility room.
To the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms, one of which is an exceptional master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a range
of fitted wardrobes and a very spacious ensuite bathroom. In addition there is a family bathroom, separate shower room and a hall landing. There is an accessible loft which is believed to have been two additional bedrooms in the past.
The property is accessed via a gravel driveway which leads to parking for several cars and to the timber garage. The gardens and grounds surround the property and incorporate a pathway which leads to the rear of the property and to a delightful curved sun terrace which commands stunning views over the gardens.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is framed by flower and herbaceous borders and enclosed with mature hedging. A separate and substantial vegetable garden is also enclosed with mature hedging and an attractive stone wall. The stunning gardens and grounds which measure approximately 0.72 of an acre are so quintessential and complement the beautiful detached house.
To the side of the house is a traditional wood clad garage and adjoining tack room (25 ft x 13ft) which would make for a wonderful party barn or annexe. Within the grounds, is a delightful old granary which still sits proudly on the staddle stones and is begging to become a home office with views over the garden.
