Martlett House

Martlett House is an impressive and beautifully presented Cotswold stone house that has been recently completely rebuilt. Set on the edge of the popular village of Evenlode, the property is approached along a tree-lined drive that leads to the front of the house. The front door opens to an impressive reception hall, suitable for use as a dining hall with the principle ground floor rooms leading off. These include a well-proportioned drawing room, a sitting room with French doors into the garden and a study. From the hall, there is a lobby off which is the kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling. The kitchen has an extensive range of floor and wall mounted kitchen units, a central island, a walk in larder and two pairs of French doors to outside. Beyond the kitchen is a cloakroom, the back door and a useful utility room.

The stairs rise to a light and spacious landing off which is the principal bedroom with extensive built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Adjacent is a single bedroom that could also be used as a dressing room if required. There are three further double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, and the family bathroom. From bedroom 5 an electric loft ladder opens through a hatch to generous second floor storage which also includes a WC and the plant room. There is potential to incorporate this space into the accommodation.

The cottage
At the back of the house and approached over a short path is the cottage that provides excellent ancillary accommodation. There is a hall/sitting room with wood burning stove, kitchen/breakfast room, shower room and a large double bedroom. From the hall stairs rise to bedroom 2.

Outside
Martlett House stands in just over 6.5 acres of mature, landscaped gardens, grounds and a paddock. As the drive approaches the house, it divides to a parking area at the front of the house and alternatively to the outbuildings with further additional parking. The outbuildings comprise a double car port with an enclosed garage to one side with a one bedroom flat above. Beyond the garage block is an L-shaped stable block with four stables, 'mess' room, tractor store and the yoga studio/office.

The garden is beautifully maintained and predominantly lawned interspersed with paved paths and stonewalling with well stocked borders and mature shrubs. To the south-east of the house is the outdoor swimming pool with air source heat pump for heating and a pool house.
