House For Sale £695,000
An INDIVIDUAL DETACHED family home together with ONE ACRE GARDENS in a convenient SEMI RURAL POSITION on the Northern edge of Gloucester
The current owner in the last few years has completely updated the house internally as well as externally landscaping the gardens. There are 5 good bedrooms over 3 floors with the 5th being a large attic conversion giving a possible sitting room and a study. To the ground floor there is a formal sitting room, dining room which adjoins the custom built kitchen, a downstairs shower room/cloakroom and large utility room adjoining an integral garage which could have other uses.
The Orchards is situated in a highly convenient semi rural position just over a mile to the North of Gloucester City centre. Some of the areas most sought after schools are very close by.
