Privately located within a small arrangement of mostly former agricultural buildings, The Granary is a detached five bedroom house within the Mildred's Farm development in the peaceful semi-rural village of Preston just outside of Cirencester, the capital of the Cotswolds. Having been greatly improved by the current owners since they purchased it, the house offers superb flexible living space coupled with an expansive garden and lovely countryside views.

As you enter the home via a lovely solid oak and larch storm porch and through to the reception hall your eyes can't help but be drawn to the view through the kitchen onto the beautiful gardens beyond, but first, we shall tour around the house. Off the hallway is access to the double garage which is used as gym space by the current owners but could also be converted to other usage including further accommodation. Back through the hallway is a great size utility room with plenty of cupboards, worktop space and a boot room with access to the side of the house providing an ideal entrance for muddy wellies or paws. There is also a very generously sized downstairs cloakroom and understairs storage (home to the solar panel batteries).

The kitchen/dining room is a lovely open plan space making the absolute most of the views of the garden and the neighbouring orchard. The bespoke kitchen has been beautifully crafted with solid American Walnut worktops and a large central island complete with a low level fold-down breakfast bar. The fittings include a cooker, integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer and plenty of cupboards with lighting underneath. The dining area has space for a table comfortably seating 6-8 or more on special occasions and has sliding doors to the garden and doors to the living room.

Pass through the dining area to the cosy living room which has ample space for numerous sofas and armchairs, perfect for family gatherings, as well as a wood burner fitted into the fireplace for the chillier months of the year. Leading from here a door back through to the hallway as well as access to the large conservatory sunroom providing a retreat to relax and soak up the garden views.

Heading upstairs via the galleried landing there are currently five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The dual aspect master bedroom suite is an absolute delight with a recently finished ensuite shower room and his & hers dressing rooms. Bedroom two sits at the back of the house with lovely field views and a full size ensuite bathroom. Bedroom three is a double and the fourth is currently set up as a superb cinema room but would ordinarily comfortably accommodate a kingsize bed and freestanding furniture. Finally, bedroom five serves as an ideal home office or nursery. On the landing is a renovated family shower room and an airing cupboard.

Outside to the front of the property, Mildreds Farm is located within a private gravelled cul de sac which includes guest parking whilst The Granary has private driveway parking for 4 or 5 cars. There is access to the rear gardens via a secure side gate. The south facing rear gardens are a key feature of this lovely private family home with beautifully manicured lawns numerous flower beds and a vegetable garden as well as a shed and greenhouse fit for most budding horticulturalists. The addition of a substantial timber frame gazebo provides the perfect space for year round entertaining, relaxing and outdoor dining. The neighbouring orchard and paddocks provide a superb open countryside outlook and the plot extends to approximately 0.27 acre.

Preston is a quiet village located just under 2 miles outside of Cirencester town centre but is within walking distance (1 mile) of Tesco Extra, Aldi, McDonald's and a Beefeater for handy bites, whilst Cirencester has a great variety of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs as well as a weekly market. For families, there are great schools in the area for primary and secondary ages and the Cotswold Water Park is on your doorstep with a host of watersport activities. Access to the A419 is handy for Cheltenham & Gloucester (circa 17 & 20 miles north) and Swindon (circa 15 mile
