Description

The Staircase is a first floor apartment forming part of Cotswold Galleries, an elegant Grade II listed building forming part of the historic Square in Stow-on-the-Wold.

The building was converted into three apartments in 2021, the shop remaining as a gallery. As the name suggests a staircase leads to the apartment which was imaginatively conceived with a partly galleried main open plan living room/ kitchen.

There is a master bedroom with en-suite shower room together with a further double bedroom and shower room. The kitchen is vaulted and stairs lead from the main reception area to a galleried study on the second floor which overlooks the kitchen.

The conversion has been executed to a high standard with a security gate leading to all of the apartments. In addition to the vaulted ceiling other features such as exposed beams, lintels and Cotswold stone walls have been retained. In addition the apartment is well appointed with quality appliances and fittings.

A balcony is set in front of the entrance and provides outside space.

The Staircase has been used as a successful holiday property but equally would make a very pleasant holiday home or main residence.
