Market Square, Lechlade, GL7

YOPA are pleased to offer MORLEY HOUSE, a unique and historic six bedroom detached house for sale.

Located in a secluded plot, but at the heart of the Cotswold town of Lechlade, a historic market town with a wide range of local shops, cafes, public house and restaurants.

Morley House is a property full of character and charm. The property is Grade II listed, and parts of the original property date back to the 14th century, but has had a number of later additions. Improved and developed over many years, the property now provides flexible accommodation spread over three floors - boasting six bedrooms, including a guest bedroom suite, three generous reception rooms, and a large kitchen and dining space - which is very much at the heart of this family house. There is also four bathrooms.

Entering the house via the front door brings you into the main hallway, with a lovely original period staircase and then doors to the drawing room, dining room and kitchen.

The first reception room; the front drawing room, has high ceilings, a Cotswold Stone fireplace at the centre and panelled walls with built-in bookcases. On the other side of the hallway you will find the second reception room which may be used as a formal dining room but is currently used as a music room.  This then leads through to the third reception room, a large 26’ lounge / 2^nd sitting room.  The spacious room is a more relaxing, less formal room which also enjoys its own fireplace with log burner.

From the hallway, there is access to the kitchen and breakfast room – this is very much the heart of this family house.  The kitchen has range of bespoke built-in cupboards, Cotswold stone floors, a side pantry cupboard, and a number of built-in appliances including an Aga cooker. The breakfast / dining area is flooded with light thanks to an over-head lantern style sky light and double French doors that open to the rear courtyard garden.

Also located on the ground floor is the guest bedroom suite, comprising of a large bedroom / sitting room, an ensuite bathroom, and outside door to the front garden. The guest suite is also connected to the main house via a doorway to the 2^nd sitting room.

Moving to the first floor you will find three bedrooms; the large master bedroom, then a further two double bedrooms as well as two bathrooms.  The large master bedroom enjoys an adjoining dressing room area together with its own en-suite bathroom.  The second double bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom as well as built-in wardrobes and storage cupboards

On the second floor there are a further two double bedrooms, together with a further fourth bathroom.

One of the real highlights of this family house are the gardens - there is the large, fully enclosed front garden, with a main formal central lawn area, side flower beds with bushes and trees, and then at the rear of the house is a second courtyard garden, a more intimate and private space with Cotswold Stone paving and French doors that open to the kitchen – creating the prefect space for summer entertaining or family barbecues!

The property is offered for sale FREEHOLD, viewing is by appointment only. New EPC to follow shortly. Council Tax Band: E.
