3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An unmodernised cottage set in 0.25 acres, approached off a No Through lane and set within a first class village.

Description

In a highly sought-after position within the village of Sapperton, Ivy Cottage is a charming Cotswold stone cottage situated within pretty walled gardens. The cottage is somewhat dated and in need of renovation, and as such would make an exciting project for redevelopment. The L-shaped property has a versatile layout, with bedrooms on both the ground and first floors offering a good deal of flexibility in terms of bedrooms and reception rooms. The age of the cottage can be seen in its character features, which include stone-flagged floors and an inglenook fireplace with modern wood-burning stove, exposed beams and wood floorboards upstairs. With some investment and imagination, the cottage offers truly fantastic scope to become a stylish home.

The current layout comprises an entrance hall leading to a sitting room, dining/breakfast room and a kitchen with adjoining pantry. On the opposite side of the hall there is a bedroom with French windows opening to the garden, which could make an excellent study, a further bedroom and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside
Ivy Cottage is situated along a quiet no-through lane in the centre of Sapperton, within a short distance of the village primary school. The cottage is accessed via a pedestrian gate onto a small front garden, with a separate vehicular gate further along the road which provides access to a private gravelled parking area and the garden. The latter is southeast facing and is mostly lawned with a selection of mature trees and shrubs, and space for garden furniture on a patio area by the cottage.

Location

Sapperton is an unspoilt and highly sought-after Cotswolds village, situated about five miles east of Cirencester. The village, which is very much protected by the Bathurst Estate, is predominantly made up of period houses and cottages and supports a parish church, primary school, village hall and two pubs, including the highly regarded The Bell at Sapperton. The surrounding countryside is particularly attractive with deep coombes and wooded valleys contrasting with the open spaces provided by adjacent farmland and the beautiful Cirencester Park.

Cirencester is the nearest centre and provides exceptional day to day shopping facilities, including Marks & Spencer Simply Food, Waitrose and Tesco Supermarkets. Larger regional centres include the fine spa town of Cheltenham, the Georgian City of Bath and the regional centre of Gloucester.

Communications are first class with a direct service from Kemble (about 2.5 miles) to London Paddington taking approximately 80 minutes. Both the M4 and M5 are easily accessible via the A417/419 dual carriageways.

The local area has a wide selection of highly regarded schools in both the public and private sectors including Kingshill and Deer Park Schools in Cirencester. Private schools include Hatherop Castle, Rendcomb College, Prior Park in Cricklade as well as the schools and colleges in Cheltenham. For younger children there are first-class nursery schools in Cirencester and a primary school in the village.
