Ground Floor
You enter the property into the hallway with stripped wooden floor which provides access to the sitting room, dining room and cellar. A nice feature to the hallway is it affords a view through the house into the garden upon arrival. The sitting room is a spacious room with feature open fireplace with cupboards and shelves to the alcoves, sash window to the front aspect, stairs to the first floor and a door leading to the dining room. The dining room makes a great entertaining space with stripped wooden floor, feature fireplace, glazed double doors opening out on to the garden and access to the kitchen. The kitchen is a galley style with modern wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink drainer, gas hob and electric oven, integrated fridge/freezer with space and plumbing for washing machine. Through the kitchen you find a bathroom with bath, shower and screen, washbasin and WC. There is also a door providing access to the rear garden. The owner has previously obtained listed building consent to further extend full width at the rear which could provide a more open plan kitchen diner. This consent has now lapsed.
First Floor
Stairs lead from the sitting room up to the first floor landing which divides to lead you to bedroom two or to bedrooms one and three. Bedroom one is a very spacious room with feature fireplace and wardrobes to the alcove, stripped wooden floor and sash window to the front aspect. Bedroom two is a good size double with feature fireplace, stripped wooden floor, wardrobes to one wall and sash window to the rear aspect. Bedroom three is a single room or could be utilised as a study with sash window to the front aspect and exposed Bath stone wall.
Cellar
The cellar room is accessed via stairs from the hallway. It is a very good size room that could be used as additional accommodation or storage. The ceiling height is around 7' and the room retains its original fireplace and houses a newly installed boiler.
Rear Garden
The south facing rear garden extends to 150' in length. It provides a nice secluded seating area to the rear of the property and is laid to lawn with established beds, hedge, shrubs and small trees. A stone path leads to the rear of the garden where you find a stone built outhouse with tiled pitch roof which extends to the width of the garden. Next to the rear of the garden is the stone built detached double garage which is accessed via a lane from North Road. The garage has two secure up and over aluminium doors and provides power and light making it an ideal workshop if required.

It sits at an altitude of 500ft and hence has always been renowned for its clean air quality with many moving from the city for this reason. The village is adjoined to the north by large areas of natural woodland with public footpaths offering stunning panoramic views overlooking the city and equally gratifying views of the Cotswold (AONB) valleys to the south.There is simply no other village like it on the outskirts of the city with such a wide range of local amenities and schooling.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
