PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Ford Bank Cottage is a detached period stone cottage which has been improved and extended by the current owners to create a charming character home. Extensive renovation has been undertaken with attention to detail and respecting the integrity of the original building. The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout with light rooms. There are many notable features including a bespoke hand-built kitchen, vaulted ceiling, inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, leaded windows and window seats. The cottage sits within a good-sized plot and enjoys an elevated position with attractive far reaching views from most principle rooms. The property has additional planning permission for a double garage and further extension if required.

SITUATION

Ford is a Cotswold hamlet comprising period and contemporary houses situated in gentle rolling hills. The hamlet has an excellent public house called The Plough and lies approximately 6 miles to the south of Broadway, 6 miles to the east of the ancient town of Winchcombe and approximately 7 miles to the west of Stow on the Wold. Winchcombe was at one time the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Mercia and many old buildings, in particular, a superb church, remain. There is a good range of facilities. There is a main line train station to London/Paddington at Moreton-in-Marsh (approximately 9 miles).

OUTSIDE

The cottage is approached through wrought iron gates between stone pillars and over a gravel drive which leads to a parking and turning area. Steps with a retaining Cotswold stone wall lead to the raised formal garden which is laid to lawn.
