Description

The barn and bungalow are in the very heart of this sought after village and close to all the local amenities.

The Barn sits within a yard with vehicle access through gates off the street to a parking area to front and side. The barn which is constructed of Cotswold stone, has a traditional wide opening with double height barn timber doors and a traditional timber roof structure beneath a corrugated sheet roof.  The barn, currently used as a workshop and store, has a staircase leading to a mezzanine level bringing the total area to a Gross Internal Floor Area of 1280 sq.ft/119 sq.m and comprises: Ground Floor 65 sq m,  Mezzanine  46 sq m,  Office 8 sq m. 
 
Furthermore, the barn owns a good amount of external space which currently provides excellent private parking and has further potential for gardens or external trading areas and possible options for further building development. There is a defined right of way through the property to two properties at the rear.
 
The building has mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage. 

The bungalow has access off the yard and also directly from the street and extends in all to 706 sq.ft to include a fitted kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a shower room.

Situation

The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike.
Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis.

Both towns offer a wider range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities.
