A superb extended detached house at the top of a long drive in a private spot in the heart of sought after Bisley village with over 2000 sq. ft. of spacious, stylish accommodation, a good garden, a gated drive with space to park several cars and a detached garage.
Penton is an individual detached house in a private spot in the heart of ever popular Bisley. This sought after Cotswold village enjoys a thriving local community, with a well regarded primary school, village store and two great pubs within easy reach. The current occupants have owned the property for some 14 years and have transformed the property during that time. The resulting house is much larger than the original dwelling and is now a stylish, contemporary home with well presented family space arranged over two floors.
An entrance hall, 27' sitting room with fireplace and glazed double doors that open on to the garden, a first class 28' kitchen/family room (very much the hub of the house), cloakroom/w.c, side lobby, shower room and a study are on the ground floor. The latter single storey addition is a flexible area, and a prospective buyer may use this as a work from home space or as a ground floor bedroom suite with its own access for a teenager or a dependant relative. A staircase leads up from the kitchen to the first floor, with a landing, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and three further bedrooms on this floor. The fourth bedroom is a single room, and is currently used as a dressing room. The house is spacious and the layout carefully considered, and tasteful décor and stylish furnishing highlight these spaces. All in all a brilliant home, and an absolute must for your viewing list.
A long drive stretches up to the property from the road, with a gated parking area for several vehicles. There is a detached garage to the right of the house, and a paved area by the front door. A gate in the fence to the left of the house leads into the garden, and you can also access the rear at the far side of the house. This area is paved, and this paving continues around to the back of the house. The current owners have a table and chair set here, and doors open from the study and the sitting room onto the garden. The majority of this area is laid to lawn, with a well built covered pergola in the far corner - a great place to sit and relax. Established borders and planting edge the well kept grounds.
Steeped in history, Bisley is a quintessential Cotswold village. It benefits from a village shop with post office, a well-established primary school, a church and two good pubs. This location also allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of Stroud, Cirencester and Cheltenham. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise as well. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
