Tucked away on the edge of Bourton, St. Antonys House is a modern cottage‑style detached home that pairs period touches with contemporary efficiency. The elevated position delivers far‑reaching views across the Blackmore Vale from dual‑aspect reception rooms and the principal bedroom, while dual French doors provide direct indoor‑outdoor flow to a level rear garden shaded by a mature horse chestnut.
Internally the house is well laid out for family life or home working: a cosy sitting room with wood‑burner, separate dining room, fitted farmhouse‑style kitchen, utility and a dedicated study on the ground floor. Four double bedrooms sit off a generous galleried landing; the principal and second bedrooms share a newly fitted Jack‑and‑Jill ensuite finished with marble‑effect tiling and a rainfall shower.
Practical running costs are reduced by solar panels and an air‑source heat pump feeding radiators and electric services. The plot is large for the village, approached by a private gravel driveway with space for several cars and a powered shed. Bourton itself offers essential village amenities and easy road links to nearby market towns.
A few points to note: council tax is band F and therefore comparatively expensive; all services and fittings in the particulars have not been tested and cannot be guaranteed. Access is via a shared tarmac drive which then leads to the private driveway. Overall the house offers a comfortable, low‑maintenance base with good energy credentials and scope to personalise.
