- Ideal for entertaining, family living or a countryside retreat Quintessential Cotswold home combining heritage and modern comfort Merlin Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage dating from the 18th century, seamlessly blending period character with refined contemporary style. Situated within a picturesque Cotswold village, it offers an enviable lifestyle surrounded by timeless countryside, while providing every modern comfort expected of a thoughtfully renovated home. Lovingly restored by the current owner, the property has been enhanced with exceptional attention to detail throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms have been stylishly remodelled, while a sophisticated palette of Farrow & Ball paints and luxurious natural wool carpets create an atmosphere of warmth and understated elegance. Original features remain at the heart of the home, with exposed beams, characterful stonework and traditional lath-and-plaster walls complemented by carefully chosen finishes that bring a fresh, contemporary feel. The front door opens into a generous sitting and dining room where heritage charm and everyday comfort sit effortlessly side by side. Plantation shutters frame the windows, while a Dean Forge wood-burning stove, set within a handsome stone fireplace with a flagstone hearth, creates an inviting focal point. Cleverly integrated storage, including a cloaks cupboard and under-stairs space, ensures practicality without detracting from the cottage's character. At the heart of the home lies the exceptional open-plan kitchen and garden room, designed with both family living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz worktops, a Belfast sink with copper taps, integrated appliances and a striking Rangemaster range cooker set against a copper and aluminium mosaic splashback. Beyond, the vaulted garden room enjoys an abundance of natural light and opens through French doors onto the sun terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. It is the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply relaxing in the evening sunshine. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is rich in character, featuring a Victorian fireplace, elegant mantelpiece and charming oeil-de-boeuf window. A second bedroom, currently arranged as a dressing room, benefits from direct access to the Jack and Jill bathroom, beautifully fitted with a slipper bath, separate shower and Karndean flooring. The top floor provides two further double bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, each with built-in wardrobes and served by an additional bathroom, making them ideal for family members or visiting guests. More than simply a home, Merlin Cottage is a quintessential Cotswold retreat where historic character and modern luxury come together in perfect harmony. Whether enjoying the glow of the wood burner on a winter's evening, dining on the sun-soaked terrace or embracing the relaxed rhythm of village life, this exceptional property captures the very essence of Cotswold living. • Please note that an AML fee is chargeable once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks *
