This character-rich residence boasts high ceilings and numerous traditional features, making it an attractive candidate for investment or personal restoration.
Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Brailes, Warwickshire, this dwelling is set on over an acre of land, which includes a garden with mature fruit trees and the potential for equestrian use or tourism ventures like glamping.

The first reception room features an original stone inglenook fireplace and parquet flooring, while a rear snug or office provides flexibility. The dining room further enhances the appeal with sculpted beams and another impressive inglenook fireplace. The kitchen awaits modernisation, offering generous space with separate access.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms arranged around a bathroom that also needs updating; there's potential for a fifth bedroom in the attic space. A small garage conversion adds practicality to the outdoor layout.
The surrounding village is vibrant and well-equipped with local amenities including schools and shops, while nearby transport links ensure easy access to larger towns and cities. This property not only promises charm but also significant potential for transformation into a stunning family home or lucrative investment.
