Detached house for sale in Cirencester GL7, 5 Bedroom

Yew Tree Cottage is quietly situated along a no-through road on the northern edge of the small unspoilt village of Ampney St Mary, with lovely rural views and in the an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. It is a detached period property dating we believe from the mid 18th Century and is built of natural Cotswold stone with traditional stone tiles to the main roof slope. It is listed Grade II as being of special architectural and historic interest and has recently been refurbished and extended by the current owners, including replacing all the bathrooms, enlarging and creating a superb new kitchen/breakfast room and fitted an excellent utility area. The accommodation, which is very well presented, extends to just over 3500 square feet and is flexible in its useage. It is currently configured as a 4 bedroom family house but if more bedroom space is required, both the sitting room and gym could potentially be used and in particular the sitting room which has direct access to a ground floor shower room. The double garage extension which is linked to the house by a lovely glazed atrium is effectively an annexe and could relatively easily be reconfigured to provide separate living space for guests/relatives, if required.

The house is approached to the rear via a gravelled drive which leads through wooden five bar gates to a substantial double garage and generous parking and turning areas. The rear garden is enclosed by Cotswold stone walls and is principally laid to lawn interspersed by a variety of trees, including some fruit trees and bushes. Beyond the garden there is a small paddock with stone walls on two sides and a stable block with two stables and a barn currently being used as workshop and for storage. A path leads from the parking area to a charming side garden, bordered by a Cotswold stone wall with lawn and flower borders and a paved sitting area from which there is direct access into the house. The grounds are extensive yet easily manageable and in total extend to just under three quarters of an acre.
