Echoing the style and character of a traditional Cotswold house, Dyers Leaze was built in the 1930s; its name possibly derived from Lacock’s association with the wool trade. It is one of a small number of privately owned houses in the village since the majority are owned by the National Trust, which acquired Lacock in 1944 and has since maintained its unique, historic character. The interior complements the handsome natural stone façade with generous, beautifully presented accommodation arranged around a welcoming entrance hall. There are five bedrooms, three en-suites, and four reception rooms – the dining room opening into a superb kitchen with an Aga range and French doors onto the garden. Outside the house is set back from the village lane behind a gated drive which leads up to the front of the house and provides ample space for parking. There is a detached garage with an outside staircase to a loft studio/office above, together with a workshop and useful garden stores. The gardens are a delight, extending to nearly half an acre they are well established with expansive lawns and well-stocked borders. There are private terraces by the house, which at the rear, overlook the adjoining paddock; the whole provides a most attractive setting and extends to just over two acres
