A unique and spacious family home set in mature gardens

Description

Broomhall presents a unique opportunity to purchase a spacious and versatile family property situated in an enviable position, accessible to Moreton-in-Marsh station providing a fast train service to London Paddington. The house was constructed in 2000 by Simon Hood in Cotswold stone beneath a slate roof and provides superbly presented accommodation set out over two floors.

The internal accommodation flows from the welcoming entrance hall with a large coat cupboard. The hub of the house is the spacious and light-filled kitchen which is fitted with an extensive range of cabinets with a gas-fuelled Aga and integrated appliances. A substantial island provides extra preparation and storage space. The kitchen can accommodate a large table and chairs (comfortably seating 10 people). Across the hall is a well-appointed utility with a door to the garden. There is a wonderful dual aspect drawing room with a fireplace. A second sitting room has a vaulted ceiling and fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Double doors lead to the garden. The dining room is panelled and currently used as a study and a dining room. A study and WC complete the ground floor.

There are 4 excellent bedrooms on the first floor, accessed from a spacious landing. The main bedroom suite comprises of an elegant bathroom, with a lavatory, bidet, two basins and a large separate walk-in shower. The fourth bedroom, is currently used as a dressing room, with fitted cupboards. There are two further double bedrooms, again with fitted cupboards, one of which has its own shower room, basin and lavatory. The other double bedroom has the use of a family bathroom.

The property is approached through a timber gate to a parking area in front of the garage which is large enough for several cars. The gardens are a very special feature of the property and have been designed to create a number of ‘rooms’ divided by the clever use of hedging. The gardens are mature with areas of level lawn, well-stocked beds and specimen trees. There is a parterre with well-maintained box hedging. Above the double garage is a 5th bedroom, with shower room and lavatory. The paddock (in all about 3 acres) is directly opposite the house across a small private lane, which is ideal for grazing animals and protecting the view from the property.
