A delightful three/four bedroom period property situated in a tucked away location in the heart of Shipton Gorge with lovely views towards Shipton Hill and open countryside.
The Property
The property is believed to have been built in the early 19th century and has painted rendered and brick elevations under a slate roof. The property has an abundance of character features typical of its age and type and has generous accommodation which could be used in a number of ways. Under the current ownership, the property has undergone a program of improvement, with work including a new kitchen, new flooring, the creation of a utility room and shower room, the addition of greenhouses and landscaping of the garden, a new roof to part of the property and the addition of 10 solar panels (with car charger and water heater). The property now offers 3/4 bedrooms and two reception rooms, with a garage and parking and a delightful garden enjoying the stunning views.
The sitting room is a particularly attractive room with a focal point of a marble fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove, which opens into an additional reception room currently utilised as a dining room which has plenty of natural light, with large windows overlooking the garden. There is an office/bedroom and a large family bathroom, fitted with a rolltop bath, separate shower, WC and sink. The kitchen is to the other side and is fitted with the range of base units and open shelving over, with an integrated dishwasher and a range cooker. There is a utility room which has space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine and leads into the shower room and additional bedroom. This bedroom has French doors onto the garden and is a lovely bright room with a large skylight.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, with the principal having a comprehensive range of built-in wardrobes and a set of drawers, and the second bedroom has an ensuite shower room. Both of these bedrooms enjoy far reaching views across Shipton Gorge towards Shipton Hill and the sea.
Outside
Approximately 50 yards away from the house there is an attached garage with an up and over door. Immediately outside the house there is parking for one car under the pergola, with the potential for another parking space to be created to the front.
