Vendors' thoughts: "We loved the history of the house and that it had been converted by a retired member of the Gloucestershire Regiment (known affectionately as The Old Braggs). The founder of the regiment was a Colonel Braggs. We fell in love with the house on sight over 40 years ago, it being such a warm and welcoming house with remarkable views and a feeling of space. We have loved sharing our love of it with family and friends of all ages over the years."

In a nutshell: Views don't get much better than this! A welcoming home with so much charm.

Property Description

The Old Braggs, formerly comprising three cottages and once home to the local weavers, is an exceptional period country home, bursting with charm and character, nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds with some of the most spectacular views. A warm and inviting home with fantastic walks on its doorstep, the house has been lovingly renovated, extended and maintained over the years.

The main and the side entrance halls lead to the ground floor living space. The sitting room is bright and light with lovely window seats overlooking the garden and French doors leading to the terrace. The drawing room with open fireplace is a fabulous room in which to relax with a good book and the dining room comes into its own when hosting dinner parties and entertaining family and friends. The kitchen is ideal for everyday dining, morning coffees and catch ups. The striking red Aga provides extra warmth in the colder months and there is an electric oven and hob for added convenience.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, accessed via separate staircases. The bedrooms offer ample discreet storage and are bright and light with views over the countryside and hamlet.

The terrace overlooks the circa 2 acres of garden, paddocks and stabling for two horses, and is a wonderful spot to enjoy al fresco dining in the summer months and unwind as the sun sets.
