3 bed cottage for sale

Beavans Hill, Kilcot, Newent, Gloucestershire GL18

Immaculate three double bedroom stone cottage enjoying glorious countryside views towards the Malvern Hills. Offering generous reception space, beautiful south facing gardens, home office, summer room, substantial garage and superb outdoor entertaining areas.

A prettier country cottage you would be hard pushed to find. Beautiful stone fronted and occupying a lovely position within the small hamlet of Aston Ingham, this immaculate three bedroom home combines everything you would hope for from a traditional countryside property with the comfort and practicality of a house ready to move straight into.

The neighbouring village of Gorsley adds considerably to the appeal of the location and has a particularly strong community feel. At its heart is the community run shop and Post Office, providing everyday essentials and local produce, with the popular Orchard Coffee House next door creating a lovely place to meet for coffee or lunch.

Families are particularly well catered for, with Gorsley Goffs Primary School serving the local area. For eating out, Roadmaker Inn is something of a local favourite, offering Nepalese and Indian food and certainly worth a visit.

Aston Ingham itself also has an excellent range of facilities for such a rural setting. The village has active cricket, tennis and bowls clubs, providing for the local community.

Combined with the beautiful surrounding countryside and convenient access to the M50, the area offers an appealing balance of rural village life, genuine community and accessibility.

The current owner has left no stone unturned, with the accommodation finished and maintained to an exceptional standard throughout. Surprisingly spacious, it offers considerably more than first impressions might suggest.

At its heart is a generous sitting room, complemented by a separate dining room and wonderful garden/breakfast room. A dedicated office is ideal for those working from home, whilst the utility and boot room provide exactly the practical space needed for countryside living. Upstairs, three double bedrooms, one with ensuite, complete this extremely well balanced home.

Outside, pretty established cottage gardens frame the property with an abundance of colour, whilst the outlook extends across adjoining fields towards the Malvern Hills. Despite its rural feel, the M50 and wider road network are approximately ten minutes away, providing convenient access towards South Wales and the Midlands.

Immaculately presented, deceptively spacious and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this is a home where the hard work has already been done, allowing its new owners to simply move in, unpack and enjoy.

The cottage is entered into an entrance hall where a traditional exposed stone wall immediately sets the tone, with cupboard understairs storage making good use of the space.

The kitchen tells the story of the cottage's past whilst bringing it firmly up to date. A wonderful original cast iron range provides a nod to its history, sitting comfortably alongside contemporary appliances including a neff five ring gas hob and Bosch pyrolytic oven and combi microwave. Glass splashbacks provide a modern contrast, whilst extensive cabinetry and worktop space make this a kitchen designed to be properly used. A west facing window provides a lovely outlook and makes even washing up a little more enjoyable.

A stone archway leads into the separate dining room, with exposed stone continuing and full width bi-fold doors opening towards the pretty cottage garden and adjoining garden room.

Enveloped by mature flowers and foliage, the breakfast /garden room is a relaxing addition. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, settling down with a book or finding somewhere for a lazy Sunday afternoon nap, it allows the garden to be enjoyed whatever the weather.

Leading from the dining room is a good sized utility with additional oven and extensive worktop space leading to a boot room, with plenty of space for coats, muddy boots and dogs following one of the many walks available virtually from the doorstep with access to the cloakroom WC.

The impressive front to back sitting room enjoys a triple aspect, with countryside and woodland views to the front, cottage garden to the side and patio doors opening onto the rear courtyard and adjoining fields. A cast iron fireplace with tiled surround provides a lovely focal point on a cosy winter's evening.

The generous accommodation continues with a dedicated home office. Far removed from simply finding a spare corner to work from, this is a substantial room with extensive bespoke fitted storage and a comfortable working environment.

A full turn staircase leads to three excellent double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous king size room with ensuite shower room. Its dual aspect catches the morning light and enjoys wonderful wake-up views across woodland and open fields towards the distant Malvern Hills.

Bedroom two is another great sized double with built in wardrobe space and equally enviable bedside countryside views.

The third bedroom is again a comfortable double, enjoying the morning sun and an attractive outlook across the surrounding landscape. Having three genuinely good sized bedrooms makes the accommodation particularly well balanced for families or visiting guests.

Completing the first floor is the tastefully renovated family bathroom. Travertine tiling provides a timeless finish, complemented by a three piece suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
Outside

One of the joys of this home is undoubtedly the gardens and outside space. Beautifully established and clearly cared for over many years, they complement the cottage perfectly with privacy, colour and countryside views.
Vehicle access is via a five bar gate opening onto off road parking and leading to a double detached garage with electric up and over door, providing vehicle, workshop and storage space.

To the rear are two patio areas creating a fantastic alfresco dining and entertaining space with countryside views. Easily accessed from the summer room, this becomes a true extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months.

The south facing side garden is particularly special. Surrounded by mature planting, there is colour and depth in abundance, whilst an elevated seating area has been positioned to make the most of the far reaching countryside views.

For the green fingered, a contemporary greenhouse forms something of a nerve centre for these beautifully maintained cottage gardens.

To the front, a traditional stone pathway leads from the pedestrian gate towards the cottage, passing the property's own well before arriving at the front door.

The gardens feel entirely in keeping with the house established, private and full of character, with numerous places to simply sit and enjoy the surroundings.
