House For Sale £550,000
Robert Franklin Way is a peaceful road in the Cotswold village of South Cerney, set in the heart of the Cotswold Waterpark and has a lovely blend of residents from a broad spectrum of generations creating a super community atmosphere. This detached house has been exceptionally well cared for by its current owner including an extended kitchen/living/dining area added last year.
To the front of the house, you will find driveway parking for two cars, or possibly more if you wanted to repurpose the lawned area to the left, as well as access to the integrated garage and a side passage to the rear garden. The front door is sheltered by a covered porch and leads through to the hallway where you will find access to the living room on your left, kitchen straight ahead and stairs to the first floor. The living room is of great proportions with a large window to the front and has space for a three-piece suite, TV unit and a fireplace providing a central focal point.
Across the back of the house, the extension added last year has created a wonderful and bright L-shape kitchen and living space, perfect for everyday family life or for those who enjoy entertaining guests. Your first port of call is the kitchen area which is fitted with white Shaker-style units with Oak worktops, integrated dishwasher, electric oven, refrigerator. Beyond the kitchen is the dining area which, in turn, opens up to the rear extension which is flooded with natural light by windows, French doors and a roof lantern. To the other end of this space is access to the utility room with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, door to the garden, downstairs cloakroom and a door to the garage. The garage would be a great opportunity for conversion should one require further living space.
Heading upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four bedrooms and two bathrooms. On your right, you will find the master bedroom with space for a kingsize bed, freestanding furniture (potential to have fitted storage built) and an ensuite shower room with a window and WC and basin unit with built-in storage. Bedroom two is a double room with a view to the front and a large built-in wardrobe whilst bedroom three is another double with a large built-in wardrobe a garden view. Bedroom four is a comfortable single room with built-in wardrobe space and is ideal for use as a child's bedroom or home office. The family bathroom has a window to the rear, bath, separate shower, heated towel rail, WC and basin.
Outside, in the rear garden, you will find a patio area leading from the extension and utility room. This is a fantastic spot to sit back and relax in the afternoon sun or enjoy summer BBQs. The garden has a very private and secluded feel with no houses looking back at you giving you an unobscured south-westerly aspect. The lawn area is a very generous size with plenty of room for fun and games.
South Cerney has a host of fantastic local amenities including three pubs, The Braai House coffee shop/deli/post office an Indian restaurant, a fish & chip shop, a chemist, a doctor surgery, a village hall, two churches, Anne Edwards primary school, pre-school playgroup, a Premier and a Co-Op. That's in addition to being in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park with countless lakes for all varieties of water sports with water skiing and waterside dining at the Lakeside Brasserie. Just at the top of the road is a great playground for children and access to some fantastic walks around the village and surrounding areas.
Commuting connections to London are a breeze with direct trains to Paddington from Kemble (78 mins) 4 miles away or Swindon (58 mins) 12.5 miles away. The A419 gives access to the M4 Jct 15 (16 miles) with easy access to the M5 whilst Cirencester is only 4 miles and Cheltenham 20 miles away. As well as the local village school there are a number of secondary schools in and around Cirencester, including Kings Hill and Deer Park, along with buses to Marling, Stroud High School and Pates. Private schools such as Rendcomb College, Westonbirt and Hatherop are popular nearby choices.
