About this property

Nestled within the highly desirable Cotswold village of Taynton, this attractive semi-detached Cotswold stone cottage combines period character with practical modern living. Constructed from honey-coloured limestone beneath a traditional pitched roof, the property enjoys considerable kerb appeal and occupies a delightful village position, ideal as a permanent residence or idyllic country retreat. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,114 sq ft (103.5 sq m) and offers well-balanced living space arranged over two floors.<br /><br />A welcoming entrance leads into the heart of the home, a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, with log burning stove, creating a sociable and light-filled environment, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. A versatile reception room currently arranged as a sitting room offers the flexibility to serve as a ground-floor third bedroom, home office or snug according to individual requirements. The first floor comprises two comfortable bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with characterful proportions and a further double bedroom, together with family bathroom facilities.<br /><br />Externally, the property is approached through attractive gardens which complement the cottage's traditional appearance. The striking timber-framed entrance porch provides a warm welcome, while the grounds offer space for outdoor dining, relaxation and enjoyment of the peaceful village setting. <br /><br />A useful detached shed provides additional storage, and the property further benefits from allocated parking for two vehicles, a particularly valuable feature within this sought-after Cotswold village. Please note there is a restrictive covenanant that does not allow holiday lets on this property.
