THE PROPERTY:
This beautifully presented ground floor apartment offers first-time buyers a rare chance to step onto the property ladder in the Cotswolds, combining modern open-plan living with the ease and security of apartment ownership.
The standout feature is the impressive open reception and kitchen space, designed for today’s lifestyle, with wide patio doors opening straight onto a private wrap-around terrace. It creates an ideal indoor-outdoor entertaining area — perfect for hosting friends — while avoiding the time and cost associated with maintaining a garden. A private side gate provides direct access to a charming lane leading to the village green, an uncommon advantage for an apartment home.
Internally, the double-aspect living area is filled with natural light and feels notably spacious. The contemporary fitted kitchen includes quality integrated appliances and generous worktop space, with ample room for dining and a work-from-home setup — particularly attractive for buyers seeking flexibility in their first property.
The accommodation includes a well-proportioned double bedroom and a smart, modern bathroom, all finished to an excellent standard. Double glazing and gas central heating ensure comfort and efficiency, while the layout makes superb use of the available space.
Further benefits include allocated parking and true “lock up and leave” convenience — ideal for busy professionals or those who travel regularly. The EPC rating of C supports modest running costs, and first-time buyers will welcome that they will not need to pay stamp duty on this purchase. With no onward chain, the property is ready for a straightforward and timely move. An increasingly rare combination of private outdoor space, modern design and village setting.
