Detached house for sale in Cirencester GL7, 5 Bedroom

Tucked away and the end of a small private development, The Granary is a detached five bedroom house forming part of Mildreds Farm in the peaceful semi-rural village of Preston just outside of Cirencester, the capital of the Cotswolds. Having been greatly improved by the current owners since they purchased, the house offers superb flexible living space coupled with beautifully manicured gardens and lovely countryside views.

As you enter the home via a lovely solid oak and larch storm porch and through to the reception hall your eyes can't help but be drawn to the view through the kitchen onto the beautiful gardens beyond, but first, we shall tour around the house. Off the hallway is access to the double garage which, aside from its traditional use, could also be converted to further accommodation - be that as an annexe, games room, movie room or perhaps a home office. Back through the hallway is a great size utility room with plenty of cupboards, worktop space and access to the side of the house providing an ideal entrance for muddy wellies or paws. There is also a very generously sized downstairs cloakroom and understairs storage.

The present owners combined the previously separate kitchen and dining room to create a wonderful open plan room making the absolute most of the views of the garden and the neighbouring orchard. The bespoke kitchen has been beautifully crafted with solid American Walnut worktops and a large central island complete with a low level fold-down breakfast bar. The fittings include a cooker, integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer and plenty of cupboards with lighting underneath. The dining area has space for a table comfortably seating 6-8 or more on special occasions and has sliding doors to the garden and doors to the living room.

Pass through the dining area to the cosy living room which has ample space for numerous sofas and armchairs, perfect for family gatherings, as well as a wood burner fitted into the fireplace for the chillier months of the year. Leading from here a door back through to the hallway as well as access to the large conservatory sunroom providing a retreat to relax and soak up the garden views.

Heading upstairs via the galleried landing there are currently five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The largest of the rooms is simply vast measuring 7.5m in length and offers a great opportunity for a multitude of uses. Currently, it serves as a guest bedroom and games room with a table tennis table, but it could also be split into two bedrooms or a large master with an ensuite and dressing room. At the rear of the house is the present master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and space for a kingsize bed with freestanding furniture. The ensuite shower room has been refitted in recent years with an extra wide walk-in shower, his & hers basins, bidet, WC, underfloor heating and a frosted window. There are two further double bedrooms, both with great views and a single room which is ideal for use as a study or nursery. On the landing is a family bathroom and an airing cupboard with the lpg boiler, hot water tank and control unit for the roof mounted solar panels (these are privately owned, will heat the hot water and also provide a rebate from the grid).

Outside to the front of the property, Mildreds Farm has a shared gravelled driveway with guest parking whilst The Granary has private driveway parking for 3 or 4 cars. There is access to the rear via side gate where the lpg tanks are also located. The south facing rear gardens are a real key feature of this lovely family home with beautifully manicured lawns, numerous flower beds and a vegetable garden as well as a shed and greenhouse fit for most budding horticulturalists. The neighbouring orchard and paddocks provide a superb countryside outlook and the plot extends to approximately 0.27 acre.

Preston is a quiet village located approximately 1.5 miles outside of Cirencester town centre but is within walking distance (1 mile) of Tesco Extra, Aldi, McDonald's and a Beefeater for handy bites, whilst Cirencester has a great variety of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs as well as a weekly market. For families, there are great schools in the area for primary and secondary ages and the Cotswold Water Park is on your doorstep with a host of watersport activities. Access to the A419 is handy for Cheltenham & Gloucester (circa 17 & 20 miles north) and Swindon (circa 15 miles South) and trains to London Paddington take circa 80mins from Kemble (circa 5 miles).
