Three converted Cotswold cottages have been transformed into new homes that combine contemporary gloss with period detail.

Long Cottages, which date back to the 18th century, are built of Cotswold stone under a slate roof.

A mixture of two- and three-bedroom, the largest house of the development in Kingham, near Chipping Norton, ranges over three floors and includes a master en suite and separate shower room.

Each property has an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area on the ground floor with a built-in dining area or breakfast bar.

The fitted kitchens include a number of appliances, ceramic floor tiles and under-floor heating.

Other features include cottage-style latched wooden doors and exposed stone feature walls and brick fireplaces. The cottages each have a landscaped garden enclosed by a stone wall and willow fencing plus a stone-built outside store.

Claire Johnson, of agents Carter Jonas, said: “These cottages have oodles of charm. They are all different in their own way, with individual features such as original brick fireplaces, exposed beams and sloping ceilings upstairs.

“They have been very cleverly designed, which makes for light, spacious interiors and they are all fitted out with good quality, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms.

“The conversion has been very sympathetic, even to the point of retaining their pretty cottage gardens, edging them with mature shrubs and summer flowers.

“Kingham is a beautiful, unspoiled Cotswold village with a large open green and is a thriving community that includes an excellent school nearby, a village shop, post office, pub and two hotels.

“Kingham rail station is just a mile away.

“Situated on a quiet pathway in the heart of the village, they are beautifully presented and are perfect for young professionals and families.”

Long Cottages are on the market with guide prices from £250,000-£345,000.
