Property Description
Avery Cottage, built of Cotswold stone, is a beautiful village house in the heart of the Cotswolds. Fabulously renovated and thoughtfully extended, great care has been put into creating welcoming living spaces and cosy corners.
The entrance porch opens into the sitting room. The room is superbly laid out with plenty of seating space and pretty window seats which overlook the garden. The character of the cottage really shines through with stunning exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace. The wood burner offers extra heat in the colder months and makes this a lovely room to retire to after a long country walk.
The kitchen/ breakfast room is bright and light with French doors opening onto the terrace and garden. There is plenty of worktop space and the bespoke units offer ample storage. The adjacent cloakroom doubles as a handy utility room and keeps the laundry out of sight!
The garden room is a stunning feature of the cottage. The room is bathed in natural light with views over the garden. This is a lovely room in which to relax and unwind with a good book.
There is also a shower room on the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rooms are bright and light with views over the garden and offer ample discreet storage.
Outside the garden is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Beautifully landscaped, it is predominantly laid to lawn with pretty herbaceous borders which offer an array of colourful blooms throughout the seasons. The garden well, currently closed off, is a lovely feature of the garden. To one end a gate leads to the village path, to the other a gate leads to the driveway with an oak framed double car port.
