A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED COTSWOLD COTTAGE COMBINING HISTORIC CHARACHTER WITH STYLISH MODERN LIVING AND NO ONWARD CHAIN.Ivybank Cottage is an enchanting and beautifully presented period cottage, parts of which date back to the 1700s, positioned in the heart of a highly desirable North Cotswold village. Brimming with character, the property displays an abundance of exposed stonework, original timbers and terracotta tiled floors across the ground floor, creating a wonderfully warm and authentic atmosphere, yet with light, spacious accommodation.

The kitchen is well equipped and thoughtfully arranged, offering a gas AGA, integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, along with ample storage and space for dining, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
