DESCRIPTION The Quarries is situated a short distance from the popular village of Hornton. Formerly a pretty period cottage, now transformed into a stunning six bedroom family home whilst retaining a wealth of beautiful period features. This handsome property is constructed from Hornton stone under a new slate roof and has recently been completely renovated, refurbished and extended to create high-specification modern living whilst retaining lovingly restored period features typical of its era. On entering the property you are greeted by a spacious, light and bright entrance hall with a hand crafted oak staircase with glass balustrades and inset lighting curving its way up to the first floor. Clearly the central hub of this home is the stylish kitchen/dining room which is again of generous proportions providing the perfect backdrop for entertaining. Space for table and chairs with bi-folding doors to the rear offering great access onto the garden. The 1909 shaker style kitchen, thoughtfully envisioned by an award winning local kitchen designer is laid out in an ergonomic C shape and includes fine details such as soft-closing dovetailed oak drawers and lavish quartz work surface inset with double sink. Dual ovens with five-ring induction hob along with integrated dishwasher, warming drawer, wine cooler and separate integrated full height fridge and freezer units. Copious amounts of floor and wall units for storage with breakfast bar.

5 Flowing through a well-lit formal dining room with oak framed glass panels, bi-folding doors to rear terrace and exposed stone wall you reach the sitting room, the heart of the old cottage with original stone steps leading up to the first floor. The luxurious sitting room is spacious and light with further oak framed full length glass panels. The restored original inglenook fireplace takes centre stage inset with a wood burning stove. Joined to this room is a study/ play room with door to the rear courtyard and herb garden. Accessed from the sitting room is the snug, another characterful room with window seat and feature fireplace. Accessed from the entrance hall is The Studio with oak framed glass panels and door onto the front courtyard. An impressive vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine room above accessed via an oak staircase, ideal as a bedroom or study. Further along this floor is a cloakroom beside a usefully laid out utility/laundry/boot room which has wall and base units and quartz worktop to match the kitchen, Belfast sink and space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Ascending the beautiful crafted oak staircase onto a bright and open landing space, the principal room is of generous proportions and benefits from views across the garden and open countryside. A dressing area with solid oak shelving and integrated drawers then flows into an en-suite with sizeable full width shower tray and rainforest shower head above. Further along the main landing is the family bathroom, fitted with a Villeroy & Boch suite (as are all cloakrooms and en-suites at the property). A sizeable corner shower is present along with a striking freestanding Burlington London bath with inset floor lighting. Accessed from the second landing is the second floor bedroom with ample space for a double bed it enjoys views across the garden and open countryside beyond. There is underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor (with individual digital thermostats to each room). Every room in the house has hard-wired internet connectivity and TV distribution. There is an integrated audio system, independently controlled in all principle rooms, linked to the main AV hub in the server room.

6 The Annexe is adjacent to the other side of the courtyard, again built from Hornton stone it has ample space for a double bed along with bedroom furniture and benefits from an en-suite shower room with white suite. Externally there is ample parking for a number of vehicles on the Cotswold chippings courtyard and in the impressive oak framed and clad three-bay garage and workshop with generous storage area above (which could be converted into living accommodation subject to the correct planning consents). The entire property extends to about 0.5 of an acre with level gardens predominately to the side and rear, all mainly laid to lawn with dry stone walls which create raised flower and herb gardens. A summerhouse/home office is situated in the corner of the garden a short walk from the house, accessed over the rear terrace and down a Cotswold chippings path. Raised stone beds interspersed with various flowers and shrubs provide the colour, with enormous potential for the future owner to add to the existing fruit and ornamental trees to create a delightful garden paradise.
