Description

A rare opportunity to develop a wonderful plot in a prime position in the sought-after village of Bledington. There are excellent views to the village green and St Leonards Church beyond. The house itself needs updating and offers a buyer the chance to create a modern family home.

Pippin was built in the early 1960’s, it is constructed of reconstituted Cotswold stone, the utility and kitchen were added in the 1960’s and 70’s, respectively. There is scope to use this wonderful, elevated site to create a new home with garages and possibly an annex or office using the footprint of the outbuilding. Any works, development or rebuilding will require planning permission from Cotswold District Council.

AccommoDAtion Ground FloorThe front door is to the right of the garage, the day-to-day side door leads to the boot room. The utility has a range of cupboards, a sink and the central heating boiler. The dining area has an archway to the kitchen, which has a view over the garden and to the orchard. There are wooden kitchen units, a sink and two tall cupboards. Glazed doors from the dining area lead into the garden room, which has a lovely outlook. The sitting room has a fireplace with an electric fire in situ. The view from this room is very special indeed, as it overlooks the village green. The staircase to the first floor is in the entrance hall. Cloakroom.

First FloorThe staircase has a half landing, this window offers an excellent view over the village and to the Church tower. The landing has access to the roof space (not been inspected). Bedroom one looks out over the side garden. There are two wardrobes and a large walk-in cupboard, which is excellent storage space. The family bathroom has a good view over the orchard and to the fields beyond. Airing cupboard. Bedrooms two and three both have views to the village green and the Church.

outsiDe

The house is approached over a tarmac drive, Cotswold stone walls mark the boundary to one side. The well-maintained lawns and flower beds show that this property has been well loved over the last 60 years. There is a pretty Magnolia tree and the flower beds are well stocked. Parking for several cars to the front and side of the house and an integrated single garage.

The rear garden is laid to lawn, with a distinctive Weeping Silver Birch tree. The garden is partly enclosed by Cotswold stone walls and lapped wooden fencing. There is a useful old outbuilding with hardstanding, a dilapidated wooden store and a gardener’s shed. A wide flower and shrub bed is stocked with Lupins and Hellebores to name just a few. A Cotswold stone wall with a pedestrian gate leads to the orchard, which is fully enclosed with a high hedge to the rear and is planted with a few fruit trees.
