A beautiful and quaint cottage in the heart of the sought-after village of Foxcote.
Positioned in the heart of the village and nested within its own attractive plot, Heseldon is a quaint and particularly attractive stone property. Formally a farm workers cottage, the property was systematically and sensitively renovated in recent years to create the beautiful home you see today, with continual enhancements made by the current owners who have lovingly enhanced all areas of the house.
This is a home of great character yet the internal finish is one of natural simplicity in keeping with its heritage yet with a modern feel throughout. The interiors have been cleverly planned to use every inch of the square footage. The entrance is via a glazed porch which continues through to a shower room and the kitchen. The kitchen is a lovely space with modern units and integrated appliances. From here, the cottage opens up and leads to the dining room and living room with log burner. Both of these rooms enjoy overlooking the lawn to the front. Off the living room is another glazed porch which currently makes for an excellent boot room.
On the first floor the two bedrooms share a wonderful bathroom which has been refitted with a freestanding bath and shower.
These quintessential cottages are what The Cotswolds' are best known for and as such, they make excellent bolt holes to explore the local area, or as holiday lets, being in such a sought after, easy to reach location.
