Delightful Cotswold stone house, set within beautiful gardens and a paddock of nearly 12 acres.

Fox Hill House was originally built in 1925 with later additions providing well-proportioned accommodation. Situated along a long tree lined drive, the house has mature gardens and grounds of approximately 12 acres. The property retains many traditional features including original Cotswold stone fireplaces and stone mullion windows.

The generous accommodation is arranged over two floors. A covered porch houses the front door which opens into a hall with Cotswold stone floor and beautiful oak staircase and doors leading into a drawing room, the kitchen and a cosy sitting room.

Accessible from the sitting room and kitchen is a dining room with a large and airy Garden Room. The dual aspect kitchen overlooks an attractive terrace with far reaching views. There is a three oven Aga and an integrated module with a ceramic hob and a walk-in larder. The kitchen/ breakfast room is the real heart of the home.
