    About this property

    • Located in the heart of picturesque Burford, Providence Cottage is a pretty double fronted Grade II listed property in an excellent position close to the shops and located close to the River Windrush (approximately 150 metres) and lovely countryside walks.

      Believed to date from the 17th century, this delightful terraced property has an enormous amount of charm and character throughout with many period features including leaded light stone mullioned windows, window seats, flagstone flooring, exposed beams and fireplaces. The property is complemented by a pretty L-shaped west facing walled garden to the rear. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is deceptively spacious.

      On the ground floor, the front door opens to the flagstone entrance hall which leads straight through to the conservatory and the garden at the rear. Off the hallway is also a door to the cloakroom. Leading off the entrance hall is the welcoming sitting room, a particularly attractive room with window seats and an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. Arranged at the rear of the house, is the kitchen/dining room also with large inglenook fireplace and with double doors opening to the conservatory.

      The fully fitted kitchen, by John Lewis of Hungerford, has a Rangemaster stove and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The room has underfloor heating. Linking the kitchen to the entrance hall is the conservatory, which enjoys an outlook over the garden. In addition, the ground floor also provides a cloakroom and a spacious study with window seat.

      At first floor level are three charming double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and bedroom two enjoys an attractive period fireplace.

      Each of the rooms have fitted wardrobes. The fourth double en suite bedroom and a good sized storage cupboard are arranged on the second floor.

      Providing a pretty setting with areas of lawn, well stocked raised borders, shrubs and trees, the mature L-shaped rear garden enjoys a terrace off the conservatory and a further area for al-fresco dining at the far end of garden. Within the garden are a workshop and wood store
