Description
Meadow View Cottage is a very attractive period Cotswold stone attached cottage located in the delightful rural hamlet of Eastcourt, equidistant of Oaksey and Crudwell. This characterful home is believed to have been formerly two cottages. In 2006, the property was largely extended creating a superb fashionable open plan kitchen/family room. The sympathetic extended and updated interior has retained a great deal of character throughout with exposed timber beams and exposed stone fireplaces. The cottage is accompanied by charming gardens of about 0.25 acres filled with colourful flowers.
Arranged over two floors, the accommodation extends to 1,882 sq.ft in all. An entrance hall has a galleried staircase and a convenient downstairs WC/cloakroom. The spacious living room is positioned at the front with an inglenook fireplace as the focal point. The kitchen/family room is a fantastic room, ideal for both every day family life and entertaining with a rear door leading out to a secluded patio terrace. Oak flooring is laid beneath the cosy snug area with a multi-fuel burning stove set within a fireplace, whilst beautiful flagstones continue across the kitchen/dining area. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with bespoke units beneath a timber worksurface incorporating a larger larder cupboard with space for utility appliances. An Aga is set within a surround completing the classical country style. The Aga is electric and remotely operated through an AGA Intelligent Management System. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms enjoying lovely outlooks over the garden. The principal bedroom suite has a fitted wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has been remodelled to include a separate shower unit and luxurious rolltop bath.
The cottage is set behind Cotswold stone walls and a five-bar timber gate which opens to a large gravelled parking bay for multiple vehicles. The garden is arranged mostly to the side with a sunny south-west facing aspect. A lavender border frames a lawn beside the seating terrace and well-established vibrant flower beds. Mature hedging trees provide a private aspect at the far end.

Eastcourt is a quiet hamlet rurally located between the villages of Crudwell and Oaksey.
