Keble Road, France Lynch, Stroud, GL6

Brooking is one of a kind - an exciting re-interpretation of a modern split level house in a superb location at popular France Lynch, a village a few miles East of Stroud. This location allows for a first class outlook at the rear of the property over fields, with country walks in pretty much every direction. The property was the subject of a comprehensive renovation programme in 2017, and the current owner has gilded the lily by making some choice improvements and implementing a stylish, mid century modern theme. 

The property is split level in design, with an entrance hall, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom with contemporary fittings and three further bedrooms on the ground floor. A staircase leads down from the entrance hall to the lower ground floor, with a brilliant open plan living space occupying the majority of this level. This statement room measures 28' x 25', and includes a sitting area, dining area and kitchen space with a breakfast island. Walking down into this room is a real Wow moment, and there's lots to take in - the two sets of bi-fold doors that open up to connect the room with a paved terrace outside, the view beyond, the inset wood burning stove, and the clever kitchen design with breakfast island. There's also a useful utility room and a cloakroom/w.c on this level. A wonderful house, and a must view in our professional opinion!

The property benefits from parking, an integral garage and a good garden. The drive is at the front of the property, with space to park several vehicles. The garage is integral to the house, with an up and over door. There are steps down past the side of Brooking, with a large rear garden found at the rear. There is a glazed canopy behind the house, and the current owner has installed a sauna and outside shower area here, and these will stay with the property. The garden has been terraced, and has a superb outlook across fields beyond as a back drop. There is a large paved area immediately behind the house, with steps (and a slide!) down to the lower lawn, and a deck that takes in the evening sun.

France Lynch is a pretty hill top village to the East of Stroud, in the parish of Chalford. Local amenities include several well regarded schools, a good pub, a community shop, sports club, hairdressers, cafe and a petrol station/garage. Nearby Bussage benefits from a doctors' surgery, a chemist, a convenience store and Chinese take away. There is also a bus stop, with regular services to Stroud, 20 metres from the property entrance. Stroud town benefits from 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. The wider area has a wide range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre, award winning weekly farmers market 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.
