A detached five-bedroom house in the heart of a delightful Cotswolds village, with far-reaching views over the picturesque Coln Valley.
Description
In the heart of one of the Cotswolds loveliest villages, opposite an acclaimed and much-loved pub, this detached village home offers a modern residence in historic surroundings. The substantial property is a rare addition to this historic village, where mostly period properties make up the street scenes, and was constructed in the late 1970s. With its Cotswold stone elevations it blends well with the older properties in the village and, in addition, benefits from a fantastic elevated position with stunning views to the rear over the river Coln and the magnificent Coln Valley.
The house is traditionally presented and would benefit from internal modernisation, offering a fantastic opportunity for the new owner to design the interiors as they see fit. The size and layout makes the house ideally suited to families, with plenty of space to relax and entertain. A central entrance hall, with wooden staircase, forms the centre of the house with east and west wings opening to either side. There is a sitting room, dining room, garden room and kitchen – the latter with an AGA and an adjoining laundry room and utility room. On the opposite side of the house there is a study and a further sitting room, plus two double bedrooms and a shower room. Upstairs there are a further four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms.
Outside
The house is approached via a private driveway with ample off-street parking for several cars. There’s further parking available within the attached double garage, which has internal access from the house. The gardens to the front and rear are beautifully landscaped and have been lovingly maintained, with expansive lawns bordered by traditional dry stone walls. The rear garden is a particular highlight, with areas of mature planting and stunning views over the open countryside to the rear.
Location
Coln St Aldwyns is a charming and pretty village, held in the highest esteem by locals and visitors alike, and is set within a Conservation Area and an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Cotswold cottages that predominate give a very pretty appearance to the village, yet the landscape alone is beautiful with gentle slopes and meadows leading down to the river Coln. The surrounding land, owned in the main by the Williamstrip and Hatherop Estates, have protected the village from development. Albeit a small community, Coln St Aldwyns is fortunate in retaining its community shop and Post Office and the highly acclaimed pub/restaurant, ironically called The New Inn.
The nearby town of Cirencester provides an extensive choice of amenities including independent boutiques, superstore shopping and a variety of fantastic pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Communications in the area are first class with easy access to London, Swindon, Bath and Bristol. Junction 15 of the M4 is within easy access and close to Cheltenham is Junction 11a of the M5 which links to Birmingham and the north. Swindon Station provides a regular service to London Paddington taking approximately 60 minutes. The neighbouring village of Hatherop provides a primary school and private education with Hatherop Castle School, whilst the nearest state secondary school is Farmor's in Fairford, some three miles away.
Square Footage: 4,135 sq ft
