The property itself has been extensively renovated and remodelled to a very high standard in 2020, retaining many original features, works including a full rewire, UPVC double glazed windows throughout, complete external and internal redecoration, a beautiful bespoke solid wood kitchen. 8kw wood burning stove in the sitting room and a bank of solar panels situated on the detached garage installed by Roxon of Gloucester which currently reduce the electricity bill to circa £10 per calendar month.

The detached double garage offers potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, annexe, home office, holiday letting unit or similar subject to the necessary planning consent.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb example of a traditional timbered property, fully renovated with great attention to detail in a picturesque setting.
