A contemporary, non-estate home nestled within this hamlet settlement less than two miles from the charming Cotswold town of Fairford.


The Colt is an individual house built in the 1970’s of timber framed construction set beneath a pitched interlapping double Roman tiled roof. It has the comfort of a gas fired boiler that powers the heating and further comfort from the replacement Upvc windows, in all giving it an above average EPC rating of Band C.

The property has been the subject of a recent extension which compliments the layout and now affords a splendid and interestingly unique home. The front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall with access to dining room, central fireplace housing wood burning stove, large window to front aspect, door to kitchen and the entrance to the triple aspect sitting room with by-folding doors. The kitchen has been well designed to offer an excellent range of base and wall mounted units incorporating domestic appliances, ample space for dining. The cloakroom completes the ground floor layout.

Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first-floor landing where the four bedrooms and family bathroom are located. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling offering a great feeling of space and sliding door that opens into the en suite shower room.

A particular attraction to The Colt is the range of outbuildings. Leaving the village lane there is spacious gravelled parking, comfortably accommodating 2 cars, a detached stone-built garage with power and lighting, and pedestrian gate serves the gardens that lie predominaly to the front. Summer house with side lean-to. Set to the rear is the home office, this insulated studio is 108 sq ft (10.1 sq m) and provides a peaceful retreat to pursue a favored pastime.
