5 bedroom detached house to rent

A detached family home within the ever-popular village of Chedworth.

Description

Springfield is a characterful detached house situated in a stunning private setting, within the village of Chedworth, surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside full of wildlife. The house is enclosed by Cotswold stone walls and its own lovely gardens, including lawned areas with attractive boarders.

The house was built in 1946 and blends well with the older properties of this highly sought-after village, with its rendered elevations and partly covered by mature wisteria. Internally, the extended accommodation is generously proportioned, with high ceilings and good room sizes making the house ideal for families; it feels very spacious. The interiors are traditionally appointed in an elegant colour and style; there’s an AGA in the kitchen with electric companion, oak accents throughout and tall double-glazed windows, all of which add to the appeal.

The accommodation has a versatile layout, with a modern addition on the east side arranged as a bedroom, shower room, boot room and sitting room, with its own entrance. The current setup makes it ideal for older children or grandparents living at home. The main house has two generous dual aspect reception rooms with wood burners, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a garden room overlooking the fields and a utility room and WC to the side. Upstairs there are four good-size bedrooms, including a large principal dual aspect bedroom with walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle and a further family bathroom with overhead shower.

The gently sloping gardens wrap around the house on all sides, providing excellent privacy and a feeling of space. Much of the garden is lawned, and there are well-stocked borders providing colour and interest. To the rear of the house there is a large terrace and a decking area built out over looking a paddock, which is great for entertaining or enjoying the valley views. A gated entrance opens to a large flint stone driveway, where there is ample off-street parking for 6 or more cars.
