Detached house for sale in Dymock GL18, 3 Bedroom

Believed to date back to the 17th century, Shakesfield is a charming black and white half timbered detached country cottage, which has undergone an impressive scheme of refurbishment by the current owners in recent years. The property has been imaginatively redesigned and extended to create a versatile home suitable for the dynamics of family living. It is evident that much thought and consideration has gone into all that has been done in order to retain a wealth of period features including exposed beams and latch doors. The materials used throughout the renovation have been sympathetically chosen to compliment the origins of the cottage with bespoke solid oak joinery used to create a feature staircase and hardwood double glazed windows and external doors. The vendors have invested heavily to increase the overall efficiency of the property with internal insulation, rewiring, newly installed oil fired central system and water based under floor heating to the new rear extension. The overall result is a superb home that offers a beautiful blend of contemporary living whilst still retaining a sense of charm and character.

The accommodation is approached at ground floor level by an entrance hall with doors leading to a double bedroom and refitted shower room. An inner hall gives access to a cosy sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. There is a second reception room, which also has a wood burning stove, and could be used as either a snug or potential study. From here, a door leads to an impressive open plan kitchen/dining/family room with a striking well and French doors leading out onto the garden. From the kitchen there is access to a utility room with a door leading to a luxury fitted bathroom. On the first floor, a large galleried landing leads to the master bedroom and further double bedroom.

Outside, Shakesfield enjoys a landscaped cottage style garden with a thriving wildlife pond and large areas of lawn bordered by wild flowers and mature trees. There is also a kitchen garden planted with a variety of vegetables and several apple trees. A gravelled driveway provides a generous area of parking and leads to a detached garage. There is currently planning permission for the demolition of the existing garage and the erection of a new detached garage/workshop/office. There is also another substantial outbuilding, which has the potential to become further living accommodation, an annexe or games room. The grounds in total extend to approximately half an acre.

With so much on offer, the agents highly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate this truly individual home.
