House For Sale £1,200,000
Cotswold Lodge is an impressive family home on one of Cirencester's most sought after roads in the area of Stratton, around 1.5 miles outside of the market town and capital of the Cotswolds. With no fewer than seven bedrooms and five bathrooms (four ensuites), four separate living areas, a double garage and grounds of 0.29 acres there are far reaching viewings across fields to the rear.
To the front is a level driveway with parking for several vehicles bordered by a lovely Cotswold stone wall and flanked by well kept lawns as well as access to the double garage. As you step through the front porch you are welcomed to the inner entrance hall giving you a glimpse through to the living areas on each side and a new solid oak herringbone floor runs through all three rooms. Straight ahead are stairs leading to the first floor and a downstairs WC. On your right is a family room, presently used as a home gym but could also make for an ideal home office or playroom.
Across the hall is the second dual aspect sitting room with an inset wood burning stove making this a perfect cosy retreat for the chillier evenings of the year. From here double doors open up to the majestic living room with two pairs of French doors leading out to the rear garden. There is ample space for two or three sofas and a feature gas fireplace providing a lovely central focal point. A step up and through another set of double doors you will arrive in the dining room which, in turn, opens up into the kitchen/breakfast room with windows and doors giving garden views.
The kitchen has a range of solid wood cabinets decked with black granite worktops, fitted electric hob, oven and microwave, space for a freestanding dishwasher, space for an American style fridge/freezer and a large larder. A door loops back into the entrance hall and another leads to the side lobby with both front and rear garden access and a utility room. There is also an internal door to the double garage which features an electric roller door, plenty of power sockets for those looking for a workshop with a stunning resin floor laid in 2021 and a storage cupboard.
Heading upstairs off the landing you will find access to five of the bedrooms, four of which are used for the main house and one bedroom suite linking in with the other two suites positioned above the double garage and used as the B&B part of the house. The principal bedroom suite is fabulous with two pairs of French doors showcasing the views across the fields beyond. There are two built in wardrobes and a large ensuite with a bath and separate shower. Bedroom two can be used either as part of the annexe or locked off and used as a second ensuite bedroom for the main house. Bedrooms three, four and five will all take double beds and share a family bathroom on the landing.
The annexe portion of the house is primarily accessed via a separate external door next to the side entrance to the house. Stairs lead straight up to the first floor level where a landing gives access to the three bedroom suites. To your left is the one also with access to the main house. To your right are similarly sized double bedrooms both with ensuite shower rooms. Cotswold Lodge has been successfully run as a B&B both by the present and previous owners and the opportunity remains for incoming purchasers to continue the business with the website and booking system transferred. Details are available upon request but anyone not wishing to continue the B&B is not obliged to do so.
Outside, the total plot size is approx 0.29 acres and has a fully enclosed rear garden with lawns for children and four legged friends to run freely, a couple of apple trees and a grapevine and large patio areas ideal for outdoor dining and Summer BBQs. There is also a solid roof pergoda and brand new summer house/chalet and some spectacular sunsets on display during the summer months.
Baunton Lane is one of the most desirable roads in Stratton, if not Cirencester and is a beautiful tree line street with most residences having very generous plots. The area of Stratton has a great sense of community and feels much like a small village nestled on the outskirts of Cirencester with its own local shop & post office, primary school, two pubs and is also on the doorstep of Cirencester Golf Club. The charming market town of Cirencester is about 1.5 miles away and has a fabulous selection of restaurants, independent shops as well as chain retailers, pubs and cafes on offer. There is easy access to the A419 with Cheltenham (ca. 15 miles north) and Swindon (ca. 15 miles south) with direct rail services to London Paddington (under 80mins) from Kemble (ca. 5 miles). There are a number of great schools in the area, both primary and secondary, which makes Cirencester such a fantastic place for families.
