Nestled in the heart of a desirable Cotswold village, this quintessential Grade II, characterful home dates back to the 18th Century. Beautifully presented throughout this wonderful home combines perfectly historic charm and modern comfort. Period features include exposed beams, oak flooring, stone walls, and a fireplace with stove, all of which enhance the charm creating a unique living environment.
The accommodation is set across three floors and has been extended and refurbished over the last fifteen years resulting in a chic, high spec family home. The fabulous, welcoming hall with fireplace, timber staircase, and flagstone floor is just the beginning of the delights that follow. A bespoke country kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units, integrated appliances, a Belfast sink, and electric Aga. Exposed stone walls, timber work surfaces, and Oak flooring add to this superb space. This in turn flows to the dining/family area, with roof lantern, and double French doors opening to the garden; a truly fantastic light-filled entertaining space. More formal dining can be enjoyed in the newly created dining room which again enjoys opening doors to the delightful garden. The focal point in the sitting room is the fireplace with wood burning stove and beam over creating a cosy ambience for family relaxing on those chilly evenings. A study and cloakroom complete this superb ground floor picture.
To the first floor the exceptional, dual aspect principal bedroom has exposed timber beam and benefits from a spacious ensuite bathroom with roll top bath, contemporary fittings and tiled floor. Two further double bedrooms are well served by the modern bathroom with its luxury walk-in shower with rain effect head, tiled floor and beam. Bedroom four is on the second floor and runs the full width of the house. This amazing room has exposed beams, a walk-in wardrobe and stylish ensuite with roll top bath.
Outside, the truly lovely garden has been landscaped and well-tended over the years and is home to lawn, and a host of flowering shrubs and plants. Bound by stone walling the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and provide a fine space to unwind and enjoy some alfresco entertaining. In addition to the main residence is a self-contained one bedroom annexe with sitting/dining room, and shower room, creating excellent ancillary accommodation for extended family or offering the potential for letting which has been successful in the past. The annexe has its own access. The Lodge is an additional outbuilding that offers a covered seating area with stone walls, oak beams and fireplace; a wonderful spot to enjoy the garden all year round. There is ample driveway parking, a garage, and bin storage area.
The pleasant location and stone-built exterior add to the property's appeal, offering a sense of tranquillity and seclusion making this an opportunity for either family living or perhaps a delightful weekend retreat. Edmonds Barn is the epitome of village life at its very best.
