A quietly situated village house with exceptional views over the Evenlode Vale
Walnut House is a wonderful family home in a splendid position on the edge of Bledington towards the end of a quiet no-through lane. There are spectacular views over the unspoilt countryside from the house and garden. The property was constructed in 2003 using Cotswold stone under a Welsh slate roof with distinctive red brick chimney stacks.
Internally the property is beautifully appointed and has a flexible layout well suited to family living. The property has a large private rear garden and paddock adjoining open pasture. In the garden area there is also a Cotswold stone greenhouse and a wooden garden shed.
The entrance hall with oak faced staircase welcomes you into the house. There is a substantial drawing room with a stone cut Tudor arch fireplace housing a wood burning stove. A pair of glazed doors extends through to a charming double aspect garden room with French doors to the terrace. The well proportioned double aspect dining room has French doors which lead out to the veranda and terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is a special feature of the property and incorporates extensive handmade oak lined cupboards and drawers with polished granite work surfaces and upstands, integrated Miele dishwasher, double fridge and double freezer and a traditional cooking range by Everhot (150 series) set beneath an attractive canopy containing extractor and cooker LED spotlights. Additional features include a central island unit, a handmade double bowl ceramic sink with mixer tap and a separate utility room with superb storage. The utility room connects with the kitchen and in turn leads to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a study and cloakroom. Stone flooring is fitted throughout the ground floor and oak flooring to the first floor (excluding the bathrooms). There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
On the first floor accessed from an attractive landing with space for occasional furniture are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and dressing area with fitted wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms which all enjoy Cotswold countryside views stretching for several miles. One of those bedrooms has an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, and a third also has fitted wardrobes. There is a separate well appointed family bathroom with bath, shower and a French console style basin. The hot water system is pressurised.
To the front is a gravelled area for parking along with a double garage.

A cracking house in one of my favourite villages. Bledington is idyllic and Walnut House offers superb accommodation.
