The Setts House on the edge of the village of Coates is a quintessential Cotswold stone house that truly “ticks all the boxes”.

It was designed by the highly regarded Arts & Crafts architect Norman Jewson in 1924, and built under his supervision in 1926, and then further enlarged in 1929. The present owners added an elegant bow window to the drawing room in 2014, designed to complement and complete the original style of the house.

The Setts House is set well back in its 2.5 acres of established gardens and paddock, surrounded by many wonderfully mature trees and hedges, exceptionally private and peaceful, and enjoying glorious distant views of the rolling countryside. There is also a delightful lily pond, a signature feature of Norman Jewson and found in the grounds of most of his properties. The house is approached by a sweeping private drive upto a landscaped turning circle by the front door. The house is at once spacious and wonderfully cosy, a luxurious space for a couple or small family, and with its large and very private terrace it is perfect for entertaining.

The ground floor contains a large entrance hall and cloakroom/loo with its original Arts & Crafts wooden doors and panelling, leading to a very light drawing-room with extensive windows on two sides, a cosy sitting room or study (“the TV room”) with French doors to the terrace and garden, both rooms with working fireplaces, a charming dining room with views to a truly magnificent magnolia tree on one side, and a serving hatch through to the fully modernised and equipped kitchen on the other. The latter complete with both an electric oven and an Aga.

Beyond the kitchen lie two well equipped utility rooms, one a combined boot room (at the back door) and full sized freezer and wine cooler, both upright, plus exceptionally extensive storage cupboards; and the other containing the boiler, washing and drying machines and utility sink, and a dry storage room with extensive shelving currently used for suitcases.

A particular safety and heat conservation feature of the ground floor is the installation of custom made painted wooden shutters on every window in the drawing room, sitting room, hall, dining room and kitchen further ensuring warmth and privacy at night.

There are two staircases to the first floor, which at one end contains the principal suite of main bedroom and bathroom, a second bedroom/ dressing room and bathroom, and a further dressing room used for clothes storage; and thereafter there is another bedroom/study as well as a guest bedroom with adjoining bathroom. In all, therefore, potentially five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
