4 bedroom house

Occupying a stunning secluded position in the heart of the west Gloucestershire countryside, The Paddocks is a charming detached period cottage set in about two thirds of an acre that enjoys distant views in all directions.

The cottage is located at the end of a long gated driveway, screened from the lane by a small copse of deciduous trees thus making it very private.

Arranged over two floors and extending to around 1,688 square feet, the cottage faces due south which makes it naturally very light. Full of character, the cottage is presented in excellent order and is not historically listed.

The ground floor briefly comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/living room that leads through a conservatory and then back into a large sitting room. A utility, boot room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there is a master bedroom with an en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms benefit from a wonderful view one way or another.

Outside, the cottage gardens offer everything you need to live 'the good life' with large areas of lawns, an established vegetable garden, fruit trees and the copse, all enclosed by mature borders and hedges.

In addition to a double garage with an attached carport, there is also a greenhouse and a home office based in a chalet style garden building (with electricity) located beyond the end of the house.

Services: Oil fired central heating. Mains water and electricity. Private waste.
