Description

This semi-detached house is situated within the highly desirable village of Sherston, located towards the edge of the village and yet within easy level walking distance to the High Street and a range of amenities. The property was built in the 1940s as a post-war Swedish timber framed non-standard construction. The house has been very well-maintained over the years and upgraded with an air source heat pump system, A rated double glazing, and a replacement water supply with rain water soakaway and water-softener. 

Internally, the accommodation is light and airy arranged over two floors extending in all to some 1,184 sq.ft. The ground floor is entered through a porch to an entrance hall with stairs up complete with under stairs storage and a further large walk-in cupboard. The bathroom is located off the hall. At the rear, the spacious living/dining room is filled with natural light with sliding doors opening to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room leads to the conservatory which was built in 2020 with self-cleaning roof glass. There is a versatile ground floor bedroom which can also be utilised as an additional reception room if preferred. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms overlooking the garden.

The pretty cottage style gardens are a lovely feature of the property, arranged to both the front and rear. Beside the front garden, a timber gate opens to the gravelled driveway providing off-street parking for several cars. The rear garden enjoys a south-east facing aspect with a raised timber decking adjoining the back of the house. The garden has a good-degree of privacy with mature hedging and trees and is arranged into two principal areas; a lawn beside a pond and vegetable garden at the far end. Within the garden, there are two sheds, a greenhouse, and summerhouse which is next to an electricity supply point.
