Description

Positioned to enjoy a sunny open-aspect to the front over countryside from most major rooms and over gardens and countryside to the rear, this deceptively spacious two-storey four bedroomed country retreat is believed to date from the early 17th century and was originally three individual cottages.

The property combines the innate character and charm of a period home with the refinements of modern day living and includes antique stone flagged floors to the majority of the ground floor, small paned windows with built-in window seats, exposed antique beams, two original fireplaces with working fires and one with a homely woodburning stove. Most importantly, the property has an inherently comfortable feel throughout each room.

Modern refinements include a stylish fitted kitchen to the rear, oil-fired central heating with a pressurised water system, a beautifully tiled shower room on the first floor and an outstanding second floor bathroom with a free-standing roll-top bath.

Externally, the property has an 80 foot enclosed garden to the rear that has a bespoke office building, perfect for those looking to work from home, with its own shower room and mezzanine first floor landing suitable as extra accommodation if required. There is no allocated parking to the property but there is an informal parking bay across the road with many parking spaces.

In short, for those looking to exchange city living for the Cotswold dream and perhaps looking to work from home, this is an exciting opportunity and not to be missed. To make things even better, the property is located on a level position only a few hundred yards from the Golden Ball, a reputable local public house in the centre of the village.

Lower Swell is positioned close to the hilltop market town of Stow-on-the-Wold with a wide range of shops, hostelries and amenities midway between other famous towns of Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh with the latter having rail links to London Paddington.
