A detached house in an elevated position with outstanding rural views.
Wild Rose Cottage is an attractive detached home built with reconstituted stone elevations beneath a plain tiled roof, occupying a superb, elevated position at the end of a quiet no-through lane on the edge of Clapton-on-the-Hill. The property offers flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, including an open-plan kitchen/dining room, two additional reception rooms, and a versatile ground-floor bedroom/study with adjoining shower room. Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. Set within a generous plot, the house is thoughtfully designed to make the most of its idyllic setting and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and offers potential to be extended, subject to planning.
The front door opens to the hallway with limestone flooring and a built-in storage cupboard. Stairs, with under-stair storage, rise to the first floor. The triple-aspect sitting room, complete with an open fireplace and wood-burning stove, enjoys stunning views over the Windrush Valley. The family room/study features sliding doors leading to the terrace and rear garden, while the open-plan kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets, integrated appliances, and a walk-in larder. The adjoining dining area provides ample space for a large table and chairs.
The former garage has been sealed off and is used for storage but, subject to planning, offers potential to be converted into additional living space. On the first floor, a galleried landing with triple Velux windows leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which include fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with dual washbasins, a freestanding bath with chrome mixer taps and handset shower, and a separate double shower enclosure.
Wild Rose Cottage is approached via a gravel driveway offering parking for several vehicles and access to the carport. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders, sweeping around to the rear where paved and gravel terraces with retaining walls create inviting outdoor spaces. The principal garden is laid to lawn with raised borders, and a separate workshop is located off the side terrace.
