Gospel Oak Cottage, a timeless family abode with a rich history dating back to 1850, is a picture-perfect retreat nestled near the sought town of Stratford Upon Avon. The home has been lovingly restored and modernized, featuring a modern boiler, radiators, and carpets, along with a stone-paved patio at the rear and a kitchen transformation just six years ago.
Stepping through the splendid oak front door adorned with stained glass panels, you're greeted by a warm entrance hall, complete with terracotta tiles underfoot and an exposed timber ceiling beam above. To the right, an original timber door opens to a capacious, light-filled living room, offering mesmerizing south-westerly views of the garden. This seamless flow leads to a graceful dining room, awash with natural light from three sides, and an exterior door to the stone-paved patio, offering glimpses of the lush garden beyond. The kitchen, accessible through another original timber door, stands generously, boasting captivating south-easterly views over the rear garden and the rolling fields beyond. This culinary haven, recently revamped, features an Elan oven, oak fitted units, integrated appliances, and a delightful Belfast sink. It leads to a cozy breakfast room which hosts a feature wood burner in a brick fireplace. French doors invite sunlight to flood the room. To the left of the kitchen, a utility room with storage space and access to a tiled WC awaits, with an external door opening to the patio and garden.
Ascend the stairs in the entrance hall to a luminous first-floor landing, illuminated by a generous Velux roof light. This level hosts four double bedrooms, including a stunning principal suite offering sweeping triple-aspect views of the garden and the surrounding countryside. The room features built-in wardrobes and a spacious en suite shower room. The three additional bedrooms are generous in size and share a well-appointed family bathroom.
