The clever layout maximises the stunning valley views, offering several outdoor terraces for your enjoyment, some hidden high over the house itself a little further up the hill. Ground Floor: The private front door opens into a spacious kitchen diner, complete with a dedicated study area. The kitchen, with a beautiful island, is fully equipped for your short stay, featuring a double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, microwave, kettle and toaster, and finally, a Nespresso-style coffee machine finishes things off. An original Cotswold stone pantry adjacent, housing the freezer, adds a touch of character. The kitchen flows into a perfectly placed dining area with large double sliding doors that open onto the main terrace, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking south-westerly view. Next to the kitchen/diner is a spacious yet cozy lounge with a beautiful wood-burning fire, a comfy sofa and armchair that can seat four, and a television. There's also another seated table at the front, providing an ideal spot to sit, relax, and admire the outlook over the valley. First Floor: Upstairs, the first floor comprises three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Just like the ground floor, each bedroom takes full advantage of the outlook. The main bedroom has a double bed, ample furniture, and its own en-suite WC. Bedroom 2 also has a double bed and boasts a large private outside furnished balcony! Bedroom 3 is a comfortable, fully furnished twin room. In addition to the en-suite WC in the main bedroom, there are two more bathrooms: one modern wet room with shower and the other a bathroom with a feature bathtub. Outside...Heading Up Even Higher!
