Description:

Hilary Cottage is a stunning Cotswold cottage with charm and character throughout. The current owners have renovated the cottage beautifully and have been mindful to create a home which flows superbly with open plan living spaces and cosy corners.

The kitchen/ dining/ family room is clearly the heart of the house and a great room in which to entertain family and friends. The kitchen with its large centre island is well equipped with plenty of work top and storage space and the electric aga adds extra warmth in the colder months. French doors lead to the terrace and garden and make the space ideal for indoor/outdoor living in the summer.
The study is superb for working from home and the sitting room is a great room to escape to with a good book in front of the wood burner.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms along the landing and a family bathroom. All the rooms have been beautifully curated with plenty of natural light.

The enclosed garden is a true haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of town. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with colourful herbaceous borders. The terrace and decking area are perfect for al fresco dining and summer sundowners.

There is a workshop and a store to the side of the house which provide storage for garden tools and there is private parking and an EV charger on the gravel driveway.
