The tastefully presented accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends in all to 1,640 sq.ft.
A spacious porch opens to the ground floor which has a superb configuration flowing from room to room. A front sitting room has a wood-burning stove at the focal point and there is a further reception room to the side.

Both the kitchen and dining room benefit from underfloor heating. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms accompanied by two bathrooms. One of which is a shower room whilst the main bathroom has been updated as a very stylish suite with a free-standing bath and large walk-in shower unit.

Situation
The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike. Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis.
