3 bedroom house

Sitting in a charming position on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Oakridge, Norfolk Cottage is a pretty, detached period home constructed principally with Cotswold stone. Set back from the lane and approached via a gravelled drive, the property is very welcoming with a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The cottage requires some modernisation, but evidently has been well cared for by its owners over the many years in residence. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with period features and character in abundance with exposed beams and an impressive stone fireplace in the sitting room.

On the ground floor, an inviting entrance hall leads to a spacious kitchen located within the extended part of the cottage and has direct access to the garden. There is a cosy sitting room with a fabulous stone fireplace and a dining room with double aspect windows and a feature fireplace.

On the first floor, there is a generous principal bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed painted beams. From the bedroom a doorway leads to a loft area above the kitchen, which may offer the possibility for conversion to an ensuite bathroom (subject to the necessary consents). There are two further bedrooms, one of which also has a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, and a separate bathroom. The bedrooms also benefit from the pretty views over the garden and beyond to open countryside.

Gardens and grounds:
The gardens are an important feature of the property and generous in size, offering two areas of quite different character. They have been carefully laid out to a particularly high standard, bounded by Cotswold stone walling and an abundance of mature trees and shrubs. Secluded away from the main gardens is a useful outbuilding for garden storage. There is also a large carport to the side of the gravelled driveway parking area.

Oakridge Lynch and the surrounding area is renowned for its natural beauty and is conveniently situated almost midway between Cirencester and Stroud. Within the village there is a church, primary school, the Butchers Arms Pub, village shop with post office, black smith, a tennis club and cricket ground. Nearby, Cirencester and Stroud both have extensive shopping and leisure facilities. Cheltenham is also within convenient driving distance and offers a range of additional amenities and attractions to satisfy the cultural enthusiast. There is also good access to the M5 and M4 motorways via the A46 and A417. Schools in the area are plentiful with an excellent selection of well-regarded entablements.
