Occupying a discrete village centre location backing on to open countryside, this semi-detached (end of three) two storey, two double bedroom contemporary style country cottage was believed to be built in 1980 yet combines the character and charm of a period style home with the contemporary refinements of modern day living.
The property takes its name from the substantial Inglenook fireplace in the central living room formed around a homely wood burning stove. Additional character is manifest in exposed Cotswold stone walls, exposed, beams, small paned windows and solid timber doors on the first floor. More contemporary refinements include oil fired central heating, light oak style fitted kitchen, ground floor 4-piece shower room suite in addition to a 3-piece bathroom suite on the first floor. The property has an in keeping peninsular dining room extension to the front.
Externally the property has gardens on three sides with a particularly attractive country garden to the rear. Landscaped with various seating areas and, unusually, the property has a separate orchard garden to the rear of the adjacent property. To the front there is a shared drive leading to parking bays on the left hand side.
The Cottage is located in the centre of Stretton-on-Fosse with a public foot path to the side giving access to walks in the area of outstanding natural beauty. The village has its public house in The Plough and a local church. The village is located midway between the market towns of Shipston on Stour to the north and Moreton in Marsh to the south with the latter having its own rail station with links to Oxford and London Paddington.
