Stylish living in the heart of this pretty village.
Built by the present owners in 2010, The House on the Square lies in the centre of the village. Constructed of mellow Cotswold stone, the house is wonderfully light and spacious with great attention having been paid to design detail.
The sweeping staircase makes a graceful centrepiece to the house with its stunning lines continuing up and curving around the galleried landing. Further design details include deep skirtings, detailed architraves and cornicing and bespoke cabinetry by Rencraft. High end appliances include Miele in the kitchen and Lefroy Brooks sanitaryware to the bathrooms.
