A beautifully presented detached four bedroom property with walled gardens, situated in the heart of the pretty village of Mickleton at the northern edge of the Cotswolds. The current owners have been in residence for over 20 years, and the house has been extended twice, creating what is now a delightful and welcoming family home in a highly sought after location. The accommodation comprises: on the ground floor an entrance hall and cloakroom, a spacious lounge with modern log-burning stove, a quiet and well-lit study, a kitchen extending to a conservatory-style dining area, and a large conservatory facing south-east and overlooking a mature cottage-style garden with fruit and decorative trees; on the first floor a bathroom, three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a fourth bedroom. At the front of the property there is a single garage with driveway parking in front.
Mickleton
Situated in the very north of the Cotswold District of the county of Gloucestershire, a few miles north of Chipping Campden, Mickleton offers a genuine community with many facilities not normally found in a Cotswold village. There is the Three Ways House Hotel, famous for its Pudding Club, two pubs, a newsagent, post office, greengrocer, butcher and large village store. Anglican and Methodist churches, a church hall, village hall and recreation ground for children, and the primary school, provide venues for many village clubs, societies and public events. In the hills just above the village are the well known gardens of Kiftsgate Court and Hidcote Manor. A bus service runs to Chipping Campden school whilst direct trains to London call at nearby Honeybourne Station.
Situation
The property is situated just off the village High Street, set well back from the road behind its walled gardens, and with its concealed front entrance off the cul-de-sac Alveston Grange. There are mature and easy to maintain gardens: outside the walls a long herbaceous border and rockery, within the garden wall the main garden, and beyond that a vegetable garden.
