Glebe House is a most attractive family home nestled on a hillside in a quiet yet convenient location on the edge of this highly sought after Cotswold village. With delightful views over the rolling hills and toward the nearby church, Glebe House has been built in a traditional style and has been the subject of a comprehensive refurbishment and remodelling programme by the present owners. With accommodation arranged over three floors, this pretty family home is perfect for entertaining and family living. The reception areas are bright and sunny with outstanding views of the nearby countryside. The accommodation is well balanced, providing a gentle flow between the reception areas and the large kitchen/breakfast room, which is perfect for entertaining, with the spacious layout and generous room sizes combining to provide space for family living as well as quiet ‘retreats' within the home. The house has various terraces and balconies, perfect for al fresco dining, enabling enjoyment of the sun and the views, with the home surrounded by mature and recently remodelled gardens, with steps leading up from the generous rear patio area to a raised lawned garden, where direct gates access to the adjoining paddocks is found.

Accommodation

Ground Floor
Double doors open into the entrance vestibule with fitted cupboards, which in turn leads to the well proportioned reception hall/ library. With bespoke shelving and a secret cupboard, a central newly installed log burner, and elegant staircase a strong first impression is offered. Double doors lead from the reception hall/library welcoming open plan reception room, with a spacious dining area with doors opening to a broad balcony and a curved step down to the generous and bright drawing room, which has a stone fireplace also with a new Swedish log burner and doors opening to a Juliet balcony. Adjacent to the dining room is an inviting and sunny snug/sitting room, fitted with a comprehensive range of bookshelves and an open fire, with doors to the south west facing balcony and a lovely view across the valley toward the Norman parish church. An opening from this room draws one into the large and recently fitted bespoke kitchen/breakfast room. A large well positioned central island and space for a sofa and dining table lends itself to the perfect space for entreating and day to day family life. The kitchen benefits from numerous appliances which one associates with all the needs for modern living including a Quooker tap. A further door leads from the kitchen/breakfast room to the rear hallway, cloakroom, boot room (with bespoke cupboards and seat) and the sound insulated study/office which benefits from a magnificent oak desk and shelving.

First Floor
The staircase from the reception hall/library to the first floor landing in turn provides access to three double bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a dressing room). The principal suite has a Juliet balcony with attractive views over nearby fields and a spacious recently remodelled en suite shower room. The other bedrooms share a family bathroom with separate shower.

Lower Ground Floor
Stairs lead down from the dining room to a hallway with French doors to the front garden. Two generous guest suites (each with their own bathroom) are situated to either side of the hallway overlooking the garden. A flight of recently built external steps lead to the driveway allowing independent access to the lower ground floor, which could be used as a granny flat. This floor benefits from a wine store and utility room.

Outside
The property is approached via remotely controlled timber gates along a tree lined drive, with parking space for numerous cars. Additional parking is situated next to the gates in an area suitable for storage of a horse box. A range of store rooms adjacent to the house (in addition to the separate stable yard) incorporate a garage, garden store, tool store and tack room, as well as the controls for an irrigation system. The gardens surround the house, bordered with fencing, mature hedging and stone walls and now benefit from further generous side access leading onto a newly constructed Cotswold stone wall and rear access. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with paths and include a formal garden to the front of the house, mature shrubs and trees and a large rockery behind the kitchen/breakfast room. Steps rise to the rear to a broad lawned area with an open outlook, which adjoins the paddocks and stable yard. These have troughs with a permanent water supply and can also be reached from the stable yard. The stable yard has a number of stables and has independent vehicular access from the lane above the entrance to the driveway or from the horse box area at the end of the drive.
