Description:

The Old School House is a fabulous quintessential Cotswold village house with two-bedroom annex cottage in the most idyllic setting in the heart of Hampnett village. Nestled down a country track, the owner ?has been mindful to create a welcoming and charming home which is also practical and perfectly adapted to everyday living. Careful thought and attention have been put into designing spaces which flow seamlessly whilst maintaining exceptional original features, with the interior renovations taking place under the creative flair of Kemscott Interiors and Ridge and Furrow. The clever use of colours and fabrics really bring depth and warmth to this sensational home.

The main house, also known as The Old School House is a traditional period village house believing to date from the 17th Century with later additions.

The kitchen/ dining room is the heart of the house and a wonderful room in which to host family and friends. The dining area works beautifully for both dinner parties and everyday living. The kitchen, with impressive Mercury range cooker and bespoke joinery and fittings, offers ample work top and storage space and the tools to cook up a real feast!

The adjacent sitting room, with a window seat overlooking the garden, is a wonderful room in which to relax and is lovely and cosy in the colder months with the roaring wood burner. The snug, with stunning fireplace, is ideal for relaxing moments after a long country walk.

There is a handy utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor and a study which could be used as a further bedroom.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms. All the rooms are bright and light and beautifully laid out.

The annex, also known as The Old School, provides exceptional ancillary accommodation and is bursting with charm and character. Meticulously renovated, the open plan living space works perfectly with the kitchen, dining and seating areas flowing seamlessly. The mezzanine library is a quirky and fabulous feature of the reception room. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom along the hallway.

There is an oak framed timber clad workshop to the rear of the house, alongside the double garage which provides covered parking in addition to the driveway.

The gardens are magical and wrap round the house creating different ‘rooms’ in which to enjoy the outdoor space, with lawned areas, an orchard, a wild meadow area and colourful herbaceous borders.

The swimming pool, in need of refurbishment, is a fabulous feature of the garden and is surrounded by a pretty picket fence.

Vendors' thoughts: "The house has been a very special place to share with family and friends. Cosy at Christmas and a cool retreat in the height of summer. We have particularly loved watching lambs in the field around us at Easter and also the wonderful walks on the doorstep - my favourite being the path cut through the middle of the fields to the great pubs and cafe in Northleach and, in the summer, the walk back to watch the sun set."

In a nutshell: A truly gorgeous house in the most magical setting!
