Cross Tree Lane, Filkins, Lechlade, Oxfordshire, GL7

A true gem of a property, tucked away down a short private path. You enter the gate through an arch with pink climbing roses, through the beautifully planted garden winding up to the cottage door. The vendor also opened her garden every year for the NGS open gardens. Once inside, you are welcomed into a large living/dining room. The exposed wooden staircase, lovingly sanded, is a feature all in itself, as well as the large fireplace fitted out with a roaring log burner. The separate kitchen, was bespoke make and beautifully designed to fit the space. With wooden counter tops, an array of cupboards, built-in white good and a Belfast sink. At the other end of the property is the second bedroom which has now been fitted with a French door, letting in even more light and overlooking the wonderful garden. To the first floor is the main bathroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, perfectly designed to provide extra storage around the modern white suite and a large, tiled shelf from the bath to the window. The main bedroom benefits from the same vaulted ceiling and has also had the stone re-exposed, creating a stunning centre piece to have your headboard against. The room also has dual aspect windows, making it wonderfully bright and airy.
