High Street, Kempsford

Occupying a central position on the High Street within this charming Cotswold village, Lime Cottage is a beautifully and thoughtfully refurbished three bedroom semi-detached period home, combining traditional character with generous accommodation, a private terrace and an integral garage.

Built principally of natural stone beneath a pitched Cotswold slate roof, the cottage has been extended to the side and rear. The current owners have carefully redesigned the interiors to reflect the property’s origins, using traditional and natural materials to create a warm and welcoming Cotswold home.

The entrance hall features marble flooring, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to a cloakroom incorporating bronze and copper finishes. Traditional cottage doors, decorative panelling and exposed Cotswold stone walls add character throughout. The generously proportioned, dual aspect reception room provides open plan living and dining space, with a substantial beamed ceiling, engineered oak flooring and a reinstated Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace constructed using lime. Glazed doors open onto the private terrace, creating a lovely connection between the interior and outdoor space. A further door leads into the recently installed kitchen, where timber units and limestone flooring complement the cottage’s traditional style, with a window to the side providing natural light.

The spacious first floor offers three double bedrooms, two with built-in cupboards, together with a bathroom finished in travertine and marble. High quality wool carpeting upstairs and a stair runner bring further warmth and comfort.

Outside, vehicular access leads to the integral single garage, while gated access opens onto a private tiered garden, providing an inviting setting for outdoor seating and dining.
