Hollywell Cottage is a delightful Cotswold stone three bedroom house in the popular village of Shipton Moyne, just outside Tetbury.
On entering the property, there is a generous entrance hall leading to the main living spaces, and a striking wooden staircase rises to the first floor. The kitchen/diner is a good-sized room with stone flooring, a woodburning stove and French doors out to the garden. The kitchen has Shaker-style cupboards and integrated appliances, with a light well above for plenty of natural light. Also off the hall, the living room has wooden floors, original beams and a woodburning stove set in an attractive fireplace. A utility room and WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower, and a single bedroom that would work equally well as a home office. There is also a well-presented bathroom with a bath.
Outside, a large patio off the kitchen/diner is screened by a hedge, which makes it ideal for eating outdoors. Beyond it is a lawned garden with established trees and shrubs. To the side of the house, the driveway has off-street parking for two to three cars.
