Bylands offers the rare opportunity to purchase a Grade II Listed, Cotswold stone cottage with light-filled accommodation and extensive gardens situated in the heart of this sought-after village.
The cottage is believed to date back to the late 17th century or early 18th century and beautifully combines character charm with modern living and stylish interiors. The many original, period features which have been retained throughout include flagstone floors, leaded casement windows, window seats, exposed beams and original fireplaces.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall which leads into the dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a bread oven. The dining room opens into the kitchen which benefits from having a wonderful view of the garden. The kitchen includes flagstone flooring, a range of wall and base units, part oiled oak and part marble work surfaces, Belfast sink, in-built oven and hob, integrated dishwasher and modern oil-fired Rayburn.
The utility room is accessed from the kitchen and also has flagstone flooring with base units and oiled oak work surfaces, Belfast sink, access to the garden and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a charming room and is dual aspect with a stone open fireplace, exposed beams and window seats. An office/store room completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor comprises a dual aspect principal bedroom, an additional double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom.
Properties of this calibre rarely appear in the market, especially in such a desirable location with extensive gardens and period charm. The easy access to well-regarded schooling, excellent transport links and attractions such as Soho Farmhouse all adds to the appeal.<br /><br />To the front of the property an attractive floral border frames the front aspect.

The garden is surrounded by a dry stone wall and mainly laid to lawn with a gravel path leading along the length of the garden alongside well-stocked floral borders. There are raised beds to the rear of the garden, numerous seating areas and a paved area ideal for entertaining and al-fresco dining. There is also a shed and large open-sided store. The whole garden is well screened by mature hedging and there are wonderful views over open countryside beyond.
