Description:

Rowan Tree House is a fabulous detached family home with superb proportions and bright and light living spaces throughout. Careful thought and attention have been put into creating both a welcoming and practical home full of charm and character. The house has undergone a thorough program of renovation and extension in recent years with the layout now lending itself extremely well to contemporary living.

The ground floor, with under floor heating, has four well-proportioned reception rooms, including the kitchen. The kitchen/ dining room is without doubt the heart of the house and a wonderful space in which to gather with family and friends, perfect for quiet chats over morning coffee at the breakfast bar, or animated family discussions around the kitchen table whilst cooking up a storm! The bifolding doors allow for indoor/ outdoor living in the warmer months and create a seamless transition to the garden.

The living room is ideal for hunkering down on a chilly winter’s day with a good book in front of the roaring wood burner and the adjacent sitting room works perfectly as a playroom for younger children. The bi-folding doors make this room wonderfully bright and light.

The offices are ideal for working from home with French doors leading to the driveway for independent access and a door to the garden.

The boot room keeps all the coats, kit and wellies tidied away!

Upstairs comprises the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing area. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All the rooms have been beautifully laid out to provide comfort and discreet storage and due to the house’s southerly aspect there is an abundance of natural light in all the bedrooms.

The landscaped garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with herbaceous borders and mature trees. The fire pit area has been superbly created to provide a peaceful shaded spot during sunny days and is super for cosy campfire evenings roasting marshmallows. The garden has been thoughtfully designed to offer quiet corners, children’s play space and pretty colours throughout the year.

The gated driveway provides ample private parking.

Vendors' thoughts: "We have loved making Rowan Tree House our family home. It has been a gorgeous place to bring up our young family. We really feel like with have the best of both worlds with fabulous country walks on the doorstep, space for the boys to play football in the garden or explore the surrounding countryside and yet we are within a short drive of both Cheltenham and Cirencester as our nearest hubs. It's been brilliant for schools, shops, restaurants etc. Woodmancote itself is a lovely village with a brilliant recently revamped Play Park. It is a welcoming village with a lovely community. We have made so many wonderful memories in this home which we will cherish for years to come."

In nutshell: A stunning Cotswold home with character, soul and superb living space.
