High Street, Stanton

Old Chapel House offers a rare combination of character, contemporary space and a private garden within one of the North Cotswolds’ most desirable villages.

Old Chapel House is a detached village house combining an original stone cottage with a substantial modern extension to the side. The property has been thoughtfully arranged to create bright, well-presented and versatile accommodation, with a pleasing blend of period character and contemporary living.

A covered stone porch with two leaded windows opens into a spacious entrance hall, which features a wood-burning stove and provides access to the principal reception rooms. The kitchen/dining room has a dual aspect, stone mullion windows and a modern range of cabinetry centred around a useful island. The sitting room is a particularly bright and inviting space, with wooden flooring, a stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove and two sets of bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden. A useful utility room, with space for appliances, sink and WC, completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and features a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, Juliet balcony and attractive feature fireplace. The en suite shower room has a walk-in shower, double sink vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. The second bedroom has its own en suite shower room, exposed stone wall and a pretty outlook across the village, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a study with fitted bookshelves.

The accommodation extends into the attic space, where two versatile rooms are arranged either side of a spacious landing, each benefitting from skylights. These rooms offer excellent flexibility and could be utlised in a multitude of ways. One of the rooms is currently a bathroom suite with freestanding bath, WC and basin.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway with adjoining flower beds and a mature beech hedge providing a good degree of privacy. The garden is a lovely feature, with a spacious paved terrace adjoining the house, leading onto a lawn with established planting. At the far end of the garden is a raised patio with a summerhouse, enjoying a southerly aspect and providing a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the garden. There is also a useful log store and shed.
