An excellent home with a picturesque garden set in a sought after Cotswold village.
Description
The Farriers is a well maintained development which was built some 21 years ago by Beaufort Homes. This is the first time this property has been offered for sale since then. The house which is attached, is constructed of Cotswold stone and is tucked away in a private position within the Conservation Area. It has been well designed and is ideal for entertaining, there being two excellent reception rooms, both of which open out into the garden The drawing room features a dressed stone fireplace whilst the dining room has ceiling beams and is approached through part glazed double doors. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted to include integrated appliances. There is also a cloakroom and utility room.
The bedrooms provide versatility to the property in that two are arranged on the first floor with two being on the ground floor, one of which has an en suite shower room. The other is currently used as a study. The upstairs principal bedroom is dual aspect and has en suite shower room. The second bedroom is served by a family bathroom and has access to under eaves storage space. All bedrooms have built in wardrobes.
The property is accessed via a private roadway through timber gates with a short dive way leading to a gravelled parking area to the front of the double garage. It is thought that the garage could be converted to provide additional living accommodation, subject to necessary consents being obtained. In any event there is a separate oak framed style car port with workshop/log store having a covered overhang. The mature and private garden is a particular feature of the property having been created by the present owners to create interest and colour. A sunken eating out area is screened by rose covered trellising. Beyond is a wild flower lawn edged with borders, further trellising and feature silver birch, chestnut and apple trees. There is a range of external garden and security lighting together with distributed power and mains water throughout the garden area. Closer to the house, stone steps lead up to a raised area of garden with further sitting out areas and fruit trees. There are a variety of mature shrubs whilst to the front there is a substantial hornbeam and beech hedge.
Tanglewood is certainly a house to fulfil a number of different requirements and its appeal is enhanced by its private garden and the fact that it is situated in the heart of a very popular village.
Location
Southrop is a particularly picturesque Cotswold village, situated in the eastern corner of Gloucestershire, close to the borders of Oxfordshire and Wiltshire and within the designated Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Village amenities include an early 12th Century church, village hall, community shop, primary school and Thyme, a highly regarded hotel, restaurant and spa which is family owned. There are also many village groups and activities as well as a sports field. The village pub, The Swan, is currently under refurbishment and its re-opening is anticipated shortly. Every day shopping requirements are met in the Thames-side town of Lechlade as well as Fairford, whilst more specialist shops and services are found in Cirencester and Burford.
Communications are very good with the A40 linking with the M40 at Oxford and the M5 at Gloucester, and Junction 15 of the M4 is approximately 16 miles away leading to London to the east and Bristol to the west. Trains from Swindon and Charlbury to London Paddington take around 1 hour.
Sporting and leisure facilities include golf at Cirencester and Burford, sailing at the Cotswold Water Park, boating on the river Thames, polo at Cirencester Park, trout fishing with local syndicates and racing at Cheltenham and Newbury. . Cultural activities are found in Cheltenham and Oxford although there is a delightful theatre in Cirencester, The Barn Theatre. There are also glorious walks through the surrounding countryside, particularly along the River Leach which flows through the village.
State and private schools are found in the area including Farmor’s School in Fairford, nearby Hatherop Castle School and St Hugh’s School which is not far from Faringdon.
