A HANDSOME AND STRIKING DETACHED EDWARDIAN HOUSE WITH A CONVERTED FORMER COACH HOUSE WITHIN A LOVELY GARDEN SETTING IN WOORE VILLAGE

DESCRIPTION

A classic detached Edwardian house, boasting generous proportions and exquisite period features.

Bibury House, constructed of brick with part black and white elevations under a tiled roof, stands well back from the road, approached over a long gravel drive. The house is bathed in natural light with bright and airy accommodation extending to about 3,500 square feet, completed by fabulous gardens. The owners have, over the last 22 years, carried out an extensive renovation, whilst sensitively maintaining the integrity of the original house preserving the classic Edwardian features where ever possible. A fine pitch pine staircase with balustrade leads from the entrance hall, continues to the second floor and unusually remains the same throughout. It is a wonderful individual home and benefits from a substantial extension that was so sympathetically built that it is really hard to work out what is original and what is new.

The key component for modern day family living is an open kitchen/family/breakfast room and in this regard Bibury House excels itself. The room measures 34’10” x 30’5” and features a four oven AGA, wood burning stove and a bespoke range of kitchen furniture.

Set within a substantial plot of 0.66 of an acre, the gardens offer expansive outdoor living and includes a large South West facing patio and a screen deck with hot tub. The well tendered gardens provide endless possibilities for gardening, recreation or simply soaking the peace and quiet.
