    About this property

    • Situated in the heart of Northleach, facing onto the charming Market Place and High Street, Cotteswold House is a landmark building within the town and offers plenty of character. The Grade II listed home is situated at the end of an attractive terrace and was built between the 16th and 17th centuries, with stately limestone elevations under a slate roof. Many of the building's original features remain, including a mix of sash and casement windows, exposed beams and stone interior walls, fireplaces and floors.

      The house has undergone significant restoration and improvement and is beautifully presented in a traditional, country style, with excellent scope for further personalisation by the new owner. Highlights include the kitchen, which features marble and Corian work surfaces, premium appliances such as an AG five-ring induction hob and a NEFF ‘slide and hide' double oven, and the floor is Karndean which is very hardwearing and easily maintained. The substantial house is a good size at more than 3400 sq ft, extending some distance behind the front elevations and offering sizeable reception spaces, excellent storage throughout and generously proportioned bedrooms, making it ideal for families.

      The well-planned accommodation includes two generous reception rooms at the front of the house, with one wood-burning stove, a stone arch leads from the dining room to the split-level snug with flagstone flooring, the kitchen and adjoining family room, a laundry room, boot room and utility room. On the first floor there are three large double bedrooms and two family bathrooms, plus a dressing room which could be used as a further bedroom or study if desired. There are a further two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.

      There is plentiful on-street parking in the marketplace, which is situated at the front of the property and provides a weekly charter market on Wednesdays. The house is approached via a well stocked front garden with central stone path, railed at the front for privacy, though most of the outdoor space is to the rear and can be accessed via double side gates. The garden is walled and features a lawn, raised flowerbeds and a large paved terrace with a built-in pizza oven, which is perfect for entertaining.
