Leysbourne, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, GL55

A beautifully presented period cottage in the centre of Chipping Campden. Dating probably from the late 18th Century, Cotstone is a traditional Cotswold cottage which has been renovated and extended to exceptional standards. A classic example of vernacular architecture with a gabled faade and a stone mullioned window. A traditional painted front door opens into the delightful sitting room with York style stone flagged floor, a large inglenook housing a Clearview wood burning stove, louvered window shutters and window seats. The stone flooring runs throughout the ground floor into the spacious kitchen/dining room which is beautifully fitted with a range of contemporary painted units with quartz work surfaces, a deep porcelain sink, integrated fridge and freezer, dishwasher, cooker, induction hob and stainless-steel cooker hood. French windows lead to the sheltered garden terrace. From the sitting room a dog leg staircase leads to the first-floor landing. At the front of the house is a generous double bedroom with painted timbers and roof truss. The rear double bedroom overlooks the garden and there is a beautifully fitted bathroom with a cast iron roll top bath, wash basin and W.C. and dado panelling. To the rear of the property there is a sheltered garden on two levels. The lower level has timber decking with Cotswold stone walls leading onto a stone flagged area from which stone steps lead through raised rose beds to a lawn at the top. Ample street parking to the front of the property. Chipping Campden is one of the most beautiful and historic of all the Cotswold market towns. It lies in a fold of the Cotswold Hills in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty approximately 12 miles to the south east of Stratford-upon-Avon and 22 miles north of Cheltenham. The town is well known for its traditional Cotswold architecture, much of it dating back to the Middle Ages. There is a good range of shops catering for most everyday needs as well as a number of specialist suppliers, a library, schools and a doctor's surgery. Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon are the main shopping and cultural centres for the region. The surrounding countryside offers many excellent walks and rides and there are ample sporting opportunities. There is a mainline station to London from Moreton-in-Marsh (about 8 miles) and most West Midland centres are within daily commuting distance.
