" This elegant and stylish property is set within mature walled grounds and is believed to have been constructed in the early 19th Century. Vandyke is a very much loved family home offering well-proportioned and versatile accommodation filled with character features. The entrance hall has a flagstone floor and an imposing staircase with a high ceiling and there are two impressive, interconnecting reception rooms both with superb views from their bay windows, and ornate fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house due to its practical design and location, the Aga and access to both the kitchen grounds, and the secondary front entrance via the laundry room

(leading to a gardeners? privy). On both the first and top floors there are several windows with seats and shutters, stone mullion windows, exposed beams and stripped floor boards. Each level has a principal bedroom with a ?Jack & Jill? design bathroom. There are also picture rails and feature fireplaces too. An internal inspection is highly recommended so that the charm of this Cotswold house can be seen.

Outside
A period Cotswold stone wall surrounds the property and encloses the grounds creating a feeling of security and privacy. The majority of the mature gardens are to the front and side.   These are mainly laid to a sloping lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs. However, the kitchen garden is more formal with raised beds encompassing a seating area. There are two gated pedestrian accesses, one to the rear and the other onto a useful public footpath. Coach House: This is a detached two storey period ?outbuilding? in need of repair. On the top level there are double wooden doors opening into what was formerly utilised as a garage; below the stables/barn can be located with doors opening onto a pretty terrace above the kitchen garden. Subject to all of the required consents, this coach house could be converted into a great asset such as a granny annexe or home office. There is private parking in front of the garage entrance and further parking on the lane. "
