A charming and characterful three bedroom end of terrace cottage, believed to date back to the 1890s and formerly part of the village police house, situated in a desirable lane side position in the popular village of Bourton. Field views can be enjoyed to the front, and the property is within walking distance of local amenities including The White Lion public house, a garage with convenience store and a primary school.

Having been a much loved home for nineteen years, the property has been extended and improved throughout the current ownership, most recently benefitting from a renewed roof. Full of beautiful original features, the accommodation is arranged over two floors, comprising a sitting room with a woodburner and characterful arched windows, a study and a beautifully appointed kitchen diner with a Velux skylight and striking green tiled splashback, together with a downstairs WC on the ground floor. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, bedroom one and two being doubles, the principal benefitting from an en-suite and built-in storage, together with a family bathroom. A useful garage provides further storage space.

Outside, the rear garden is a truly delightful space, fully enclosed and private, arranged over levels with a patio perfect for outdoor dining and steps rising to a beautifully maintained lawn. Well established and abundant planting throughout creates a wonderfully colourful and private retreat. There is generous off road parking for up to five vehicles.
