About this property
The Old Bakery - Five Bedroom House, Sleeps 10
Located in the charming village of Great Shefford, this beautifully restored five-bedroom detached cottage seamlessly blends historical charm with modern comforts. Great Shefford is a quaint village bursting with history, with settlers dating back to around 400 AD. Shefford Woodlands (2.1 miles) or Combe Gibbert (10.5 miles) both make for ideal country walks. The village of Lambourn (4.5 miles) is in the Valley of the Racehorse, with over 30 training establishments and a wealth of village events year-round. Further afield, the likes of Stonehenge, Reading, Newbury, and Ascot Racecourse are within a 40-mile radius.
Inside this delightful retreat, you will find three reception rooms. The snug, complete with a cosy wood burning stove, and the lounge both feature Smart TVs with Sky. The lounge also offers a PlayStation 3 for additional entertainment. The dining room, boasting a wood-burning stove, provides the perfect setting for meals with loved ones. The well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar gives access to the garden and is an ideal room to socialise and ensures culinary delights. The utility room provides a practical space for pets, ensuring your four-legged friends are well accommodated. Complementing the ground floor is a shower room with an enclosed shower and WC. Head upstairs to find five spacious bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and en-suite shower room, the second with a luxurious emperor bed, the third offers a king-size bed, and bedroom four and five each have double beds. The family bathroom includes an impressive free standing bath tub, an enclosed shower, and a WC.
Outside, the property offers an expansive wrap-around garden with a peaceful brook running through it, creating a tranquil backdrop for outdoor relaxation. There is seating for ten, a dining table, and a gas fire, all of which ensure alfresco dining is a breeze. This property provides a great holiday for friends and family alike.
