Cotswold Stone Cottage in the Heart of Icomb

Description

Charlton Cottage is a charming Cotswold stone cottage, nestled in the premier village of Icomb and is centred around a beautifully manicured wrap-around garden. Originally, two cottages, the property has been blended to create a spacious three bedroom property and offers the perfect blend of traditional elegance with modern comforts.

As you enter, you are presented with a warm and inviting living space with traditional features such as exposed wooden beams and a striking fireplace while benefitting from large windows and patio doors leading onto the garden, perfect for summer living.

From the living space, you enter the perfectly formed kitchen with free-standing appliances and access to the back porch which is being serviced as the laundry room. Continuing on is a secondary reception room which is highly versatile and would double up as a lovely dining room and/or office space.

Due to two cottages being combined, the first floor of the property is ascending by two staircases. The staircase from the living space leads up to the large principal bedroom which has ample natural light and enjoys its own ensuite bathroom. The secondary staircase from the kitchen leads up to the two further well-proportioned bedrooms which are serviced by the family shower room and a separate W/C.

Externally, the cottage benefits from a large garden, an outside storage shed, and two allocated car parking spaces to the front of the house.

With its idyllic setting, classic interior and beautiful garden surrounding, this cottage offers a perfect property to enjoy a peaceful countryside lifestyle while being in the fantastic village of Icomb with a great sense of community.
