An extended detached house in arguably the best road on the Manor Farm development at Chalford with three good bedrooms, three reception rooms, a large double garage and a well kept rear garden.
Here is a super detached house in Padin Close, Chalford. This road is arguably the best road on the Manor Farm development, and is well placed for both country walks and several well regarded schools, with Bussage, Eastcombe and Chalford Hill primary schools and Thomas Keble secondary all within easy reach. The property has been a happy home for the current owners for over 25 years. They have comprehensively improved the house during that time by extending at both the front and the rear and refitting kitchens and bathrooms.
The comfortable accommodation is arranged over two floors. A porch, entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c, 17' sitting room with fireplace with wood burning stove, dining room, 17' kitchen with contemporary fittings, conservatory and useful study (currently used as a gym) are on the ground floor. There is a great principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room on the first floor, along with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The living space feels well proportioned and the study room is the ideal work from home space, and could even suit as an occasional single bedroom if needed. Tasteful decor is found throughout, and you really get the sense that the current owners have taken time and care over the presentation and upkeep of their home.
The house benefits from parking for several cars, an integral double garage and gardens to the front and rear. The parking is at the front of the house, with space to park several cars. The garage is behind this, with two up and over doors, power and light and an internal door that opens into the study. The front garden is laid to lawn, with a beautiful acer tree at the front. A useful timber built store is at the side of the house and this has a door at the back into the rear garden. This sunny area has been landscaped and is well kept, with a paved area immediately behind the house and steps up past established, well planted boarders to the top lawn. The plot is enclosed with fencing, with a gravelled seating area to the side of the lawn and a series of connecting ponds.
Chalford, along with neighbouring villages Bussage, Brownshill and Eastcombe, enjoys a bustling village community, with established primary and secondary schools, two Cotswold pubs, a GP surgery, pharmacy, a post office and a shop in the area. 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 at. 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.
