Castle Hill, Down Ampney, SN6

A particularly well-appointed four-bedroom family home within a secluded rural position between the vibrant village communities of Marston Meysey and Down Ampney on the Gloucestershire /Wiltshire border. In recent years the house and gardens have been extensively remodelled and upgraded to create a comfortable, contemporary family home whilst retaining much of the original Edwardian character and charm. Available from July and for a long let if desired, the semi-detached property provides well-proportioned accommodation set over two floors and accessed via a bright and welcoming entrance hall (with useful cloakroom and study off) leading through to the dual-aspect bespoke fitted kitchen /breakfast room - a great space for informal day-to-day dining and superbly functional with its double hobs and Rangemaster cooker. In addition to the integrated fridge, there is ample room for further appliances as required together with table and chairs, whilst the adjoining larder cupboard and separate, spacious utility /boot room are further useful additions for laundry and ancillary storage space. The cottage benefits from three reception rooms internally including an appealing sitting room - complete with Clearview multi-fuel burner, which opens to a most delightful sunroom with its extensively glazed roof and double French doors to the garden making it a wonderfully light and flexible space for family entertaining, formal dining or children's playroom. A particularly noteworthy feature of the property is the dedicated, purpose-built garden home office which is discreetly positioned within a secluded spot overlooking the garden, yet fully wired for heat, light and ultrafast fibre broadband, making it an ideal and comfortable space for the home worker. At first floor level there is a spacious and well-appointed bath /shower room alongside four bedrooms - including three of generous double proportions, with each offering good storage options and splendid views across the gardens and beyond. Heating is supplied via a modern gas-fired central heating system feeding radiators and Gigaclear ultrafast fibre broadband is available to connect and ideal whether for streaming entertainment or home working. Externally the property is framed by professionally designed gardens approaching half an acre in size and offering splendid views over the neighbouring countryside. Laid extensively to lawn, the rear garden further benefits from a large patio seating area, vegetable patch, fruit trees, greenhouse, workshops and play store, whilst the established shrubs and hedge borders create a real sense of seclusion and privacy. The gardens and planting have been planned for year-round colour and wildlife interest, whilst also being straight-forward to maintain. There is a further, generous area of lawn and patio to the front of the property as well as a gated, gravelled driveway and parking area providing ample space for several cars. Opportunities such as this are rarely available to the rental market - particularly for a long let if desired, and therefore we would urge an early viewing to avoid disappointment. *** To make it easier to field enquiries, please email us your interest in this opportunity - including details of who is proposed to be living in the property (as well as any children and /or pets) along with your current housing / job situation *** Agent notes: these particulars have been prepared as a general guide only.
