High Street, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, GL55

An impeccably presented Grade II listed townhouse situated on the historic High Street.

Description

Holm Oak House is thought to date from around 1700 and is traditionally constructed of local Cotswold stone with mullioned windows and a Cotswold stone slate roof. Listed Grade II as a building of special architectural or historic interest, the property has been completely refurbished and offers beautifully presented accommodation combining a wealth of period features including fine fireplaces, exposed timbers and flagstone floors, complimented by stylish fittings. The traditional oak studded front door leads into an entrance lobby with a flagstone floor and a further oak door to the sitting room with its large inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove, a wealth of exposed beams and again a flagstone floor. Two steps lead up to the drawing room with a fine Tudor arched fireplace with woodburning stove, exposed beams and a mullioned bay window with views of the High Street. The adjacent snug has French windows leading to the garden courtyard. The sitting room, again with an inglenook fireplace and a recently fitted bar, is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with its AGA, vaulted ceiling and flagstone floor. A short flight of oak stairs takes one up to the separate breakfast room with a pair of leaded French windows to the garden terrace, original exposed timber studding and polished flagstones. An attractive oak staircase with turned balusters leads from the staircase hall to the first-floor landing with a wealth of exposed original timbers. The master bedroom is dramatically open to the full height of the roof with numerous exposed timbers and an additional mullioned window and window seat. It has a large built-in double wardrobe and en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a lovely mullioned bay window overlooking the High Street, a Tudor arched chamber fireplace, a built-in double wardrobe and a door to the en suite shower room. The 3rd bedroom also offers an en suite shower room and bedroom 4 is currently used as a home office.

The garden lies to the rear of the house and is split into two sections. The first is a sheltered but sunny flagstone courtyard on various levels with evergreen hedges and topiary providing a wonderful eating area just off the kitchen. From there steps lead through a wrought iron gate to the "secret" garden; beautifully landscaped and very private, enclosed by walls and hedges. There is access from the garden directly to the High Street.

Location

Chipping Campden is one of the most beautiful and historic of all the Cotswold market towns. It lies in a fold of the Cotswold Hills in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty approximately 12 miles to the south east of Stratford-upon-Avon and 22 miles north of Cheltenham. The town is well known for its traditional Cotswold architecture, much of it dating back to the Middle Ages. There is a good range of shops catering for most everyday needs as well as a number of specialist suppliers, a library, schools and a doctor's surgery. Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon are the main shopping and cultural centres for the region. The surrounding countryside offers many excellent walks and rides and there are ample sporting opportunities. There is a mainline station to London from Moreton-in-Marsh (about 7 miles) and most West Midland centres are within daily commuting distance.
