Rare gem in this idyllic village.
Occupying a central position in the heart of the highly sought after and desirable village of Great Tew, this enchanting Grade II listed ironstone house (formerly two cottages) presents a rare and exciting opportunity. Dating back to the 17th century and lovingly maintained by the same owners for over twenty-five years, this picturesque home brims with character, charm and timeless appeal. From its quintessential thatched roof, to its beautifully maintained garden, this cottage epitomises countryside living at its finest.
Period features include open fireplace, flagstone floors, window seats, deep window boards , exposed timbers, leaded lights and shutters.
Upon entering, the delightful drawing room exudes warmth and charm with central stone fireplace and wood burning stove. This room is certainly generous and is an ideal space to relax and entertain. The kitchen is a great blend of character and functionality. The kitchen layout includes: door out to the garden, Belfast sink, Smeg kitchen range, integral appliances, work surfaces and plenty of storage. The dining area has plenty of space for table and seating, ensuring comfort and convenience. There is a lovely rear hallway with built in bookshelves leading to the utility/cloaks/shower/WC room and also to the study beyond. From here a door leads out into the garden, making it a delightful home office.
Having once been two cottages, there are two staircases. To the right hand side there is a lovely galleried landing leading to three bedrooms and bathroom. To the left hand side there are two further bedrooms and further bathroom. Several bedrooms enjoy views overlooking the garden and the Great Tew estate beyond.
Outside, the cottage benefits from a garden that reflects the beauty of country living. Mostly laid to lawn, the garden to the rear is enclosed and is a haven of tranquillity, with a lovely paved terrace and separate timber summer house, all ideal for summer entertaining. There is a brick store and further two stone garden/log stores.

I think this home is one of the most charming properties I have had the pleasure of marketing - and in one of my favourite villages too!
