Description:

The Bee Garden is a fabulous Cotswold home in the heart of the village. Beautifully renovated, the house is both welcoming and superbly laid out with generous living spaces and quiet cosy corners. Having undertaken extensive renovations, the owner has been mindful to create inviting living spaces which adapt perfectly to contemporary living with bi-folding doors leading to the garden and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

The kitchen is clearly the heart of the house and a wonderful room in which to entertain family and friends. The seating area makes this a very social room when cooking up a feast and works brilliantly for everyday living. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary modern appliances and there is plenty of worktop and storage space. Bi-folding doors provide a smooth transition from indoor to outdoor living with the terrace coming into its own during the summer months for al fresco dining and sundowners. The adjacent utility room is generously proportioned and keeps all the washing out of sight! Garden access comes in handy for muddy wellies after a long country walk.
The sitting room with bi-folding doors to the garden is ideal for unwinding in front of a movie or with a good book. The fireplace, with its impressive wood burner, adds extra warmth in the colder months.
There is a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom on the ground floor. This could equally be used as a playroom for younger children or as a home study.

Upstairs comprises the principal bedroom with a dressing area and en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite bathroom, and a family bathroom. All the rooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide comfort and plenty of storage.

Outside the delightful terrace overlooks the garden and meadow beyond. This space is ideal for summer BBQs and entertaining. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, framed with pretty planters and fencing.

The garage provides covered parking and there is plenty of further parking on the gated gravel driveway.

Vendors' thoughts: “The Bee Garden is a wonderfully bright, spacious and tranquil home. It is also a nature lover’s paradise. When you’re quietly watching the deer grazing in the meadow with its calf, or the local barn owl resting on the fence, or the woodpecker enjoying its daily feed, it’s easy to forget that you’re in a lively village and so close to local amenities. The house offers a rare blend of utter peace, easy living and convenience, and will be a very hard act to follow”

In a nutshell: Superb contemporary living in a fabulous village.
