Westonbirt About this home

Description

In 2000, Oak Tree House was a simple three bedroom cottage when bought by the current owners. Since then several additions and improvements have been made: the first was a beautiful oak-framed kitchen/family room: the second were very useful stable-looking outbuildings: the third was the addition of a spacious one bedroom annexe which is currently let: the fourth was the construction of an impressive oak-framed garden pavilion: the last was the transformation of the entrance hall, into a spacious area, by straightening the staircase. The result of all these improvements is a property which now has great flexibility - either to continue letting for financial gain or using the two downstairs bedrooms and annexe kitchen for dependent old or young relatives. Alternatively, using the whole house as one substantial family home.

Situation

Oak Tree House is situated on the southern edge of Westonbirt which is renowned for its arboretum, Westonbirt School, Beaufort polo, golf course, and the Hare and Hounds. As well as beautiful unspoiled rural surroundings, it is also very well placed for the local towns of Tetbury, Malmesbury and Cirencester all of which have a good range of shops as well as social and entertainment venues. The village of Sherston, only 2 miles away, is also very highly regarded for its church, shop, primary school, doctors surgery and The Rattlebone, an outstanding pub which also hosts boules competitions on many nights of the week.
