Further Information

Dovecote House is an impressive, traditional Cotswold stone barn conversion with paddock and stabling. Situated on the edge of an un-spoilt village with glorious gardens and fabulous views over parkland.
This substantial family home has been creatively and architecturally designed from a range of former farm buildings, preserving much of the original character and ambience. Forming part of an exclusive development of just six residential properties.
Entrance is via a stunning dining hall/living room which extends to over 50 ft in length, with a ceiling which, rises in part, up to a galleried first floor landing to the full roof height, exposing the substantial beams and roof trusses. The superb kitchen/breakfast room also extends to almost 50 ft in length and has a comprehensive range of hand painted units with some integrated appliances. This room forms the hub of the house with a series of full height windows and doors creating a wonderful light space. The doors open into an attractive walled courtyard and the garden beyond providing the views over parkland. The drawing room has a double aspect vista with floor to ceiling windows and doors to both sides. There is a stunning vaulted beamed ceiling and a substantial Farmington stone fireplace with log burner inset.
Currently, there is a wing that provides a gym, utility room and shower room. This arm of the house has its private access which could create ancillary secondary accommodation for a dependent relative, au pair of for those seeking more separate guest accommodation. On the first floor both the master bedroom and guest bedroom have staircases that lead up to en-suite shower and dressing rooms. There are three further bedrooms, a Jack and Jill style shower room serves bedrooms four and five. Bedroom three has the benefit of a private en-suite bathroom. Of worthy note, bedrooms three and five can be accessed from a spiral staircase in the kitchen/breakfast room.
