The Fernery

The Fernery offers the rare opportunity to modernise a beautiful Cotswold home in a prime location in the heart of the sought after village of Pitchcombe. Together with its neighbouring two bed cottage, the properties could potentially be combined to create one large family house (subject to planning) or the cottage kept as a separate income generator or for multi-generational living.

The front aspect of the house is quintessentially pretty with a garden gate and path leading to the main entrance porch. Further access is available to the rear of the house, opening to an entrance hall with the kitchen leading off. The compact kitchen offers ample storage and pretty views overlooking both the garden and the lane. The main reception rooms boast a plethora of period features, with original fireplaces, mullion windows, beams and window seats. The dining room with oak floor is dual aspect and a great space for family gatherings or entertaining. The sitting room has a superb inglenook fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings by the fire.

Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the first floor, accessed via two separate staircases, one of which is a beautiful historic stone spiral staircase. Both of the first floor bedrooms benefit from magnificent valley views. The principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, is located on the second floor; a spacious room with boarded floor, aged beams and wonderful views over the garden and valley.

Outside, the enclosed landscaped garden has seating areas, a pond, summerhouse and greenhouse and offers the ideal spot for lazy summer days and alfresco entertaining. There is also a vegetable garden and gravel parking for two cars.
