Description
Charming four-bedroom Grade II listed stone and flint semi-detached cottage, mature gardens, countryside views, and driveway with garage, backing onto open fields.
The Property - This charming Grade II listed stone and flint semi-detached cottage is beautifully presented and enjoys picturesque views across Frampton Park, offering a wonderful blend of character and countryside living.
The ground floor opens into an entrance hall, leading through to a cosy sitting room featuring an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. An open archway connects seamlessly to the dining room, where double doors open out onto the garden. To the rear of the cottage is a well-proportioned kitchen, complemented by a practical utility room providing additional storage and space for white goods. A rear porch offers convenient access to both the garden and the garage.
Upstairs, the property has three good-sized bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a dual aspect, enjoying views over the garden, while the second bedroom takes in attractive views across the surrounding countryside.
Outside - The garden is a particular feature of the property, being predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. Mature trees offer both privacy and a wonderful sense of established character, while the garden wraps around to the rear of the cottage, backing onto open fields and enjoying a delightful rural outlook. A raised terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, making the most of the far-reaching countryside views. There is also a useful outbuilding for additional storage. Double wooden gates (recently replaced) open onto a driveway leading to the garage, providing ample parking.
