Front Entrance Hall

Enter the accommodation directly from Sheep Street into a hallway with Minton Hollins tiles, an under-the-stairs cupboard and stairs to the first floor, into the lounge.

Lounge/Dining Room

This extensive space incorporating a lounge, dining area and breakfast room/additional kitchen space is the heart of this home.

As is the case throughout this home, this large room is decorated to a high standard. The lounge area features two bay windows to the south (over Sheep Street). Daylight also floods in from the rear window at the breakfast room, which looks out to the decked roof terrace.

A breakfast peninsula and low-level storage units are complemented by clever use of hanging storage for pots and pans from the ceiling. A five ring gas hob and stainless steel oven mean that food can be prepared to eat on the deck or in the breakfast room or dining area.

The open-plan living offers the opportunity to have convivial gatherings with friends and family on comfortable sofas and there is plenty of space for a large dining table. Modern radiators sit comfortably alongside the traditional gas fire in this cosy and versatile space.

From this lounge/diner you can access the kitchen and decking area on this floor and head up the stairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Kitchen

Sandwiched between the outdoor decked roof terrace and the lounge is a kitchen preparation area. This includes open and enclosed cupboard units with a stainless steel sink and double draining unit. An oven and plenty of space for large fridge-freezers or extra storage complete this room.

Second Floor

On the second floor is the Master Bedroom, second bedroom and family bathroom

Family Bathroom

Utility Cupboard

Third Floor

Attic Room One

This single bedroom could also be used as a study or nursery. The window looks to the south over the town centre.

Attic Room Two

This cosy double bedroom would make a perfect guest bedroom - especially with the adjacent bathroom. As with most upstairs rooms, the south-facing window looks out to the town centre and over towards the Cotswold countryside beyond.

Attic Bathroom

Private Decked Roof Terrace

What a space! This private and secluded roof terrace is situated next to the kitchen and is perfect for long, lazy lunches, evening dining or simply an outdoor space to relax and chill out in. With plenty of space for a table and chairs, together with potted plants, this is a real sun trap and a magnificent addition to this stylish home. The area can also be accessed from the upstairs office area on the other side of the terrace.

Parking Spaces
