4 bedroom detached house

Greystone Cottage is situated in an active village on the periphery of Cirencester town with the wonderful benefit of far reaching open southerly views over glorious Gloucestershire countryside. The cottage believed to be constructed around the 1850's has been extended and lovingly restored by the present vendor to provide a flexible and inviting living space full of the character features that you would align in a Cotswold stone cottage of this age. Access to Greystone is via high double gates with security entry this leads to a fully walled and enclosed environment, safe and secure for young animals or small children, benefiting from lawned gardens boasting a perfect south facing orientation and degree of seclusion. There is an extensive driveway and parking area, contained within the garden is a timber lodge/home office with power and water supply a pleasing and useful feature especially for those who work from home. The cottage itself over the years has undergone substantial refurbishment including full re-roofing and is now presented in superb condition by the present vendor. In recent years a double garage has been added to the side with the benefit of electric roller doors to both aspects and a useful hobbies space above accessed by a loft ladder. The cottage is ideally situated for the business commuter with a mainline rail link at the neighbouring village of Kemble a Paddington commuter service.
