5 bedroom detached house for sale

Dating back to circa 1904 is this wonderful Edwardian five bedroom detached home located in a sought after hamlet just outside Winchcombe.


Hillview is a beautiful four square home nestled in its own mature garden enjoying one of the best positions in this sought after hamlet overlooking open countryside to the front.

The original part of the building dates back to 1904 and over the years the current owners have added a modern extension as a way to increase the square footage and make the accommodation ideal for entertaining family and friends.  This characterful property has enjoyed continual improvements which have been cleverly executed to give a modern approach to its Edwardian heritage.

At over 2500 Sq Ft of internal accommodation (including the garage), this is a home on a lovely scale with a traditional layout to suit modern family living.  Either side of the wide entrance hall are two reception rooms, with a sitting room to one side and a formal dining room to the other, both of equal proportions and each enjoying a fireplace.

Double doors from the dining room open to the kitchen, an excellent room that has been transformed into a spacious open plan room with the addition of an extension.

One side is dedicated to arrange of contemporary units and a breakfast island with inset hob, which opens to a large breakfast/family area with sliding doors that leads to the terrace and garden. A utility room is located off this area, which offers direct access to outside and an internal door into the garage.

Also from the kitchen is access to the drawing room, which has also benefited from the extension to create a formal room, with sliding doors leading to outside. A cloakroom, with side access, completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

The bedrooms on the first floor are of equally good proportions. Two double bedrooms are positioned to the front, enjoying a pretty street scene. Across the rear of the property, there is a principal bedroom with modern en suite shower room, a guest bedroom with en suite and a study/bedroom five which is adjacent to the family bathroom.
