5 bedroom detached house for sale

A charming home with a lovely history offering potential and flexible living accommodation, nestled into its own grounds of 0.5 acres in this wonderful part of The Cotswolds.


Nestled within its own glorious plot, Dalescroft is a charming home steeped in a lovely local history. Formally, it was the old railway station for the disused rail station that ran through Notgrove and the surrounding villages, which is where the address is derived. As such, the gardens in which the house is positioned are just beautiful, with an open aspect of countryside beyond the boundaries. Dating back to 1880’s the property has been extended and altered over the years to create a self-contained annex, ideal for those looking for a live in carer, nanny, or dependant relative. Should a prospective owner wish, this could be reinstated into the main house with ease and the current floorplan remodelled to create larger rooms.

The property spans a little under 3000 Sq ft, there are two points of access via a large entrance porch, which is a feature in itself and perfect for sitting and taking in the view. One door leads to the self-contained annex which is arranged as a one bedroom, a bathroom, sitting room and kitchen. The other door opens to the main accommodation, which comprises a dining room to the front aspect and a double sitting room, with a fireplace, to the other side of the hall. To the rear of the property, enjoying access to the garden, is the well-appointed kitchen. Fitted with a range of eye and base levels units and with space for a dining table.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, all double in size. Two of the bedrooms have en suites and the three further rooms share a family bathroom.

Outside
Gates open to the driveway that sweeps in front of the house giving access to the parking and double garage.

They comprise areas of level lawn bounded by high hedging and filled with an array of colour and greenery. There is a large patio terrace that flanks the lawns and rear doors from the garage make an easy access point to the gardens.
