THE PROPERTY
East Court is a very attractive, spacious and well presented, individual semi-detached stone house with a generously sized garden and lovely views, occupying a picturesque setting within the sought after and peaceful Bride Valley village of Shipton Gorge.

The property offers all modern amenities including mains gas-fired central heating (boiler replaced in 2021), uPVC small paned style windows, laminate flooring to the hall and reception rooms, water softener/de-scaler, modern fitted kitchen with upgraded solid beech worktops, stoneware sink, Bosch electric oven, Lamona electric ceramic hob and cooker hood, plus space for dishwasher and useful larder cupboard, modern fully tiled bathroom with Mira electric shower and water pump (suite installed just 6 years ago) and built-in wardrobes to the larger bedrooms.

Ground floor - Thatched canopy porch, large reception hall/library with bookshelves and large under-stairs cupboard, cloakroom, through living room (featuring ceiling beams)/dining room (the two rooms divided by a large archway) and rear patio doors, kitchen.
First floor - Landing, three double bedrooms and bathroom and a large part-boarded attic,

Directly behind the property is a sheltered gravelled seating area with stone retaining walls. A gate and steps lead up to a very large main garden which is terraced on various levels, down to lawn together with a number of mature trees and shrubs. There is also an outside tap within this garden. From the upper level there are lovely views over the village, The Bride Valley and to the church.
