Believed to originate from the 1930s, Goldings is a charming Cotswold stone house set in private grounds of circa 1.7 acres in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of the popular village of South Cerney in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park. The property has been in the family of the current owners for over 40 years and is now looking for its new custodian to create a new chapter of wonderful memories.

The house is approached from Northmoor Lane via a five bar gate leading to a driveway running through a small wooded area before arriving at the large gravelled parking area adjacent to the house. Here you will find access to the house, the attached garage and workshop as well as the separate detached garage which is currently being used as wonderful entertainment and games room.

There are several entrances to the house and the most practical and commonly used is the door from the driveway leading through to the kitchen area of the house. Before reaching the kitchen, you will find a utility room on your right and a walk-in pantry on your left. The kitchen, which has been fitted with bespoke oak units and dark granite worktops, opens up with a step down to a cosy dual aspect dining and living area with a wood burner set into the exposed stone fireplace. A barn-style door leads out to the formal gardens and patio area. Back through to the kitchen, there are fitted appliances including a gas hob, dishwasher and dual electric ovens. For those wishing for a larger kitchen, there is always the possibility of knocking through to the garage and workshop beyond to create a superb open space.

Carry on through the dining/living area and you will reach an inner hall where there is a downstairs WC and boiler cupboard before you are welcomed to a fabulous reception hall - currently set up as a formal dining room, but has a multitude of possible uses. Here there are stairs to the first floor and a door to the gardens. Beyond this a living room being used as a home office but could also be a children's playroom, snug or cosy TV room. Across the other side of the reception hall is the dual aspect drawing room with open fireplace and a further study room tucked away in the corner.

Heading up to the first floor landing there are four/five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bedroom three is the first room you will find on the half landing, which is a double size dual aspect room with garden views. Bedroom four is a charming single room with fitted storage units. Towards the end of the landing is the master bedroom suite on your left with fitted wardrobes, dual aspect garden views and an ensuite shower room with cubicle, WC, heated towel rail, basin and a window. Off the landing is the family bathroom and then access to bedroom two which is another dual aspect double room. This room provides access to a possible fifth bedroom or nursery which in turn leads on to a generous loft storage room. These three rooms could very well be combined and refurbished to create a sumptuous master suite with a dressing room and ensuite.

Outside there is a patio area leading from the kitchen/family room which is a super spot to enjoy the sunshine with some alfresco dining or a summer BBQ. There are formal gardens surrounded by trees and ornamental hedges. The gravel driveway has an abundance of parking for many cars whilst the attached garage has an inspection pit for any keen mechanics. There is a detached garage/workshop which is currently also used as a games room with space for a pool table and sofas. The remainder of the grounds lend themselves nicely to the addition of a tennis court or swimming pool, all subject to the usual consents.

The Fosse is located about 1.5 miles from the centre of South Cerney, which has a host of fantastic local amenities including three pubs, an Indian restaurant, sandwich shop, fish & chip shop, chemist, doctor surgery, vets, village hall, two churches, Anne Edwards primary school, pre-school playgroup, a Premier and a Co-Op. That's in addition to being in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park with countless lakes for all varieties of water sports with water skiing and waterside dining at the Lakeside Brasserie. Just at the top of the road is a great playground for children and access to some fantastic walks around the village and surrounding areas.

Commuting connections to London are a breeze with direct trains to Paddington from Kemble (78 mins) 6 miles away or Swindon (58 mins) 12.5 miles away. The A419 gives access to the M4 Jct 15 (16 miles) with easy access to the M5 whilst Cirencester is only 4 miles and Cheltenham 20 miles away. As well as the local village school there are a number of secondary schools in and around Cirencester along with great private and grammar schools such as Rendcomb College
