Vendors' thoughts: "We have loved our time here and have spent many years here, renovating the house, originally a house and a cottage, now one home with still so much potential to extend. Poulton is a fantastic village to live in, with a wonderful and welcoming community, lots of activities, a fabulous pub and a new secret cafe. We love our walks, with our field behind our house taking us on beautiful jaunts across the gorgeous countryside. It will be a wrench to leave our friends here too. It’s has been a wonderful home for our children to grow up in."
In a nutshell: A superb cotswold village house beautifully adapted to contemporary living.
Property Description
New Inn is a fabulous Cotswold stone house in the heart of the village. Beautifully renovated, the house is both welcoming and superbly laid out with generous living spaces and quiet cosy corners.
The ground floor has been renovated with love and attention to detail. The owners have been mindful to create inviting living spaces which adapt perfectly to contemporary living.
The family room is ideal for unwinding in front of a good movie and the adjacent living room is perfect for relaxing in front of a roaring fire with a good book. The study is perfect for working from home or could equally be a great playroom for children.
The recently renovated and extended kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and a wonderful room in which to entertain family and friends, yet also cosy and full of character, superb for more intimate dining too. The pale grey Everhot offers extra warmth in the colder months and creates a striking colour contrast with the deep grey kitchen units. Bi-folding doors provide a smooth transition from indoor to outdoor living with the terrace coming into its own during the summer months for al fresco dining and sundowners.
A handy utility and a cloakroom are great additions to the downstairs living space.
Upstairs, accessed via the main staircase, are three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. The fourth bedroom, with a further bathroom, are accessed via a separate set of stairs, making this the perfect set up for guests. Careful thought has been put into retaining the original features of the house and creating ample discreet storage.
Outside the terrace, superbly designed, overlooks the garden and the barn. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, studded with mature trees and framed with herbaceous borders and hedging. The barn/ outbuilding offer potential to be converted into additional accommodation/ home office/ gym, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
