Guide price: £1,250,000

Built c.1820, this picturesque property ticks all the boxes when it comes to a country home. It's located in the peaceful village of Kencot (on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire border) and has recently been renovated to offer what is now an attractive family home that stays true to its historic roots and enjoys tasteful contemporary finishes. 

Behind its romantic Cotswold stone façade, the Grade II listed property benefits from exquisite interior design. A chic muted colour palette of green, cream and grey gives the house a premium feel, whilst the wood-burning stove and ample natural light in the drawing room create a homely and welcoming atmosphere. 

Downstairs accommodation consists of a welcoming hall with a grand staircase, with the drawing room to one side. The kitchen/dining room can be found at the rear of this level, benefiting from multiple wall and base units, timber worktops, an AGA, and a central island. Above, the bedroom accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and comprises 4 generous bedrooms, 2 bath/shower rooms, and a separate WC.

Those looking to put their own stamp on a new home will be pleased to find that the property comes with plenty of scope to extend and modify. Planning permission has been granted to extend the kitchen/dining room, and the spacious garden has potential to include ancillary accommodation and be made to look even bigger, with some attention. 

Additionally, the walled garden has potential for a swimming pool, a kitchen garden or a wild flower meadow.

Further features of note include a double garage, incredibly generous ceiling heights, characterful exposed beams in some of the bedrooms, original stone flooring, a greenhouse, and a patio/seating area enjoying views out across the garden. 

Whether you're looking for a holiday home or permanent base, the village of Kencot is surrounded by beautiful countryside and provides the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. It's also served by a variety of top-rated schools and is home to some great restaurants, shops and charming country pubs. The renowned The Bell pub in Langford and The Five Alls are just five miles away. Soho Farmhouse is equally reachable. 

The adjacent market towns of Lechlade and Burford also provide a good selection of local amenities, whilst the larger centres of Oxford, Cirencester and Cheltenham are all within easy travelling distance. Why not book your viewing today?
