Description

Springfield is a characterful detached house situated in a stunning private setting, within the village of Chedworth, surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside full of wildlife. The house is enclosed by Cotswold stone walls and its own lovely gardens, including lawned areas, attractive borders, a wild meadow and a paddock to the rear that offers potential for grazing with a low flowing natural stream.

The house was built in 1946 and blends well with the older properties of this highly sought-after village, with its rendered elevations painted an attractive eau de nil and partly covered by mature wisteria. Internally, the extended accommodation is generously proportioned, with high ceilings and good room sizes making the house ideal for families; it feels very spacious. The interiors are traditionally appointed in an elegant colour and style; there’s an AGA in the kitchen with electric companion, oak accents throughout and tall double-glazed windows, all of which add to the appeal.

The accommodation has a versatile layout, with a modern addition on the east side offering good annexe potential. Currently it is arranged as a bedroom, shower room, boot room and sitting room, with its own entrance, but a kitchen could be recreated in the boot room to create a full annexe for rental income. The current setup makes it ideal for older children or grandparents living at home. The main house has two generous dual aspect reception rooms with wood burners, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a garden room overlooking the fields and a utility room and WC to the side. Upstairs there are four good-size bedrooms, including a large principal dual aspect bedroom with walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle and a further family bathroom with overhead shower.

The gently sloping gardens wrap around the house on all sides, providing excellent privacy and a feeling of space. Much of the garden is lawned, and there are well-stocked borders providing colour and interest. To the rear of the house there is a large terrace and a decking area built out over looking the paddock, which is great for entertaining or enjoying the valley views. The paddock is a good size and could be fenced to separate it from the meadow, to be used for grazing sheep or ponies – it has its own water source, being bisected by the Chedworth stream, and it's own private field gate from the driveway. A gated entrance opens to a large flint stone driveway, where there is ample off-street parking for 6 or more cars.

Location

Chedworth is a delightful Cotswold village which straddles the Coln Valley, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is situated off the beaten track but extremely accessible. The village is steeped in history and supports an active community which benefits from a highly regarded primary school, pub, tennis club and a range of society meetings in the village hall or ancient church. Northleach is nearby and provides an excellent range of day to day shops. The Roman town of Cirencester is to the South. Often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds, it is extremely accessible being at the intersection of the Fosse Way and Ermin Way. The latter provides dual carriageway access to both the M4 at Swindon and the M5 at Gloucester. There is a fast and regular Great Western train service from Kemble to London Paddington which takes approximately 75 minutes. The drive to London is quickest via the M4 and takes approximately 1 hours, 45 minutes (RAC route planner). Shopping in Cirencester is highly regarded, and off the main street there are many interesting back lanes with specialist shops, particularly Black Jack Street. On the outskirts of the town are two supermarkets (Waitrose and Tesco) as well as a cottage hospital.

Good local state and independent schools are numerous and include Stroud High, The Cotswold School, Deer Park, Cheltenham schools and colleges, Rendcomb College, Hatherop Castle Prep School as well as Beaudesert Prep School and Westonbirt School. There is a nursery and primary school in the village.

The Cotswolds are renowned for country pursuits and there are many enjoyable walks in the area. Chedworth has its own cricket and tennis club whilst in Cirencester there is a rugby and hockey club. The Cotswold Water Park provides a variety of water pursuits and there is also boating on the River Thames, shooting and fishing with local syndicates. First class plays are put on in The Barn Theatre, Cirencester.
