The Lagger

Description

The Lagger is a delightful four-bedroom detached house situated in an accessible rural location north of the medieval Market Town of Berkeley.

Parts of the property date back to the late 1800s and it sits within grounds extending to around ¾ acre. The current owner extended the property in 2003 and undertook further refurbishments in 2016.

This well-presented property is set back from the highway, surrounded by open arable fields, and accessed via a lengthy private driveway from Riddle Street.

Situation

The Lagger is located in a private position, with far reaching views including near-by Redwood. The quiet rural hamlet of Halmore has excellent access to the Ships Graveyard at Purton, Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, and the historic Berkeley Castle and Whitcliff Deer Park.

Nearby Berkeley (4 miles) and Dursley (6 miles) provide everyday facilities and healthcare amenities, while slightly further afield the Cotswold Market Towns of Wotton-Under-Edge (9 miles) and Stroud (14 miles) offer further leisure and educational facilities. Halmore is in the catchment area of two popular state senior schools highly rated by Ofsted. The A38 provides convenient access to the M5 motorway network, making an ideal commuting point for those requiring access to the larger centres of Bristol, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
