A well presented four bedroom family home, offering spacious accommodation with views overlooking farm and woodlands, situated in a quiet cul de sac in popular Chalford Hill. With parking for several cars and a garage, this delightful family home is a must see for anyone looking to live in Chalford.
This delightful four bedroom family home offers spacious light accommodation over two floors, and has been modernised throughout. The large entrance hall leads to the contemporary, well purposed kitchen with good storage and integrated appliances. The sitting room really is the heart of this home, with a fireplace housing a log burner, a large picture window to the rear offering incredible views across the open farm and woodlands giving you a real feel of open space. There is a handy separate study area, a good sized dining room, again with the delightful views to the rear, a utility room, WC with large storage cupboard, and an integral door into the garage. On the lower ground floor there are four good bedrooms. The master bedroom is to the rear of the house, so offers those views, and also has a large en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has been modernised to a high standard. The hall way leads in to a conservatory at the rear of the house, giving access to the beautiful garden and offers a lovely seating area to enjoy looking over the garden down to the fields. Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
The south facing rear garden is a real delight. It offers different areas for a family to enjoy. From the conservatory you step down into a lawned area, with a few steps down to a seating and BBQ area on one side and cultivated raised beds on the other. There is a further area of garden that meanders down to a quiet seating area which takes full advantage of the views across the surrounding fields and woodland. There is side access to both sides of the house, and to the front parking for several cars and access to the garage with electric roller door.
If you climb out of Chalford you will discover an area in complete contrast to its steep hills and valleys - the plateau area of Chalford Hill and France Lynch, which offers level living for its residents, along with truly stunning views. People have been calling this area home for at least 5,000 years, but it really developed in the 16th century when many of the stone cottages were built illegally to house cloth workers from the mills expanding in the valley below. A charming jumble of Cotswold cottages, narrow lanes and dry-stone walls still help give this part of the world its character and it is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The area is popular for its mix of beautiful countryside and convenient amenities, including well-regarded schools, pubs, shops and several large playing fields. There is a doctors’ surgery at nearby Bussage and a dentists’ surgery and petrol station at Fourways. The village also hosts a lively annual community music festival, Chalfest, known as ‘the party on the hill’. There are lots of lovely walks in the area – across the fields to Bisley, down the hill to Toadsmoor Lake or through the woodlands of Dimmel’s Dale nature reserve. The larger town of Stroud is only four miles away and has a direct train line to London and an award-winning farmers’ market. Cirencester, Cheltenham and Swindon are all with comfortable driving distance, meaning residents can enjoy the best of both worlds – country living but with an extensive range of amenities on their doorstep.
