House For Sale £725,000
A superb four bedroom detached house with a fantastic secluded plot in the heart of Ashton Keynes. If you are looking for incredible entertaining space and a house with room for a growing family then this beauty in Richmond Court could be the one for you.
Richmond Court is a peaceful cul-de-sac tucked away in a very popular village in the Cotswold Waterpark and this house certainly lives up to the expectations of family life in the area. The current owners created an amazing family home and there is also ample scope for extension (subject to planning) as many neighbouring houses have done.
As you walk through the front door you are immediately welcomed by a view through to the back of the house which is sure to take you by surprise. The original separate dining room and kitchen have been combined to create a phenomenal open plan entertaining space spanning almost 9 meters and flooded with natural light. The dining area has comfortable space for an 8 seater table as well as a sofa whilst the bifold sliding doors open to the beautiful south-west facing garden.
A breakfast bar creates the perfect hangout space for enjoying a casual meal or for guests to perch whilst you are cooking for them - the wine fridge is very conveniently placed underneath. The light quartz worktops fuse perfectly with the deep blue units and the oak flooring to bring a wonderfully modern finish to this vast space. There is an induction hob, double oven, microwave oven, a tall fridge or fridge/freezer and an integrated dishwasher.
Beyond the kitchen is a utility room providing access to both the front and the rear, which is ideal for bringing muddy boots or dogs rather than traipsing through the front door. There is space for a washing machine and tumble drier and an additional fridge or freezer if required. The double garage is also accessible from the kitchen and makes an ideal storage space or workshop whilst housing the recently installed heating system for the house.
Adding further to the versatile living space is a lovely room at the front of the house which would be great for a home office, playroom, music room or additional TV room. The lounge is at the rear of the house with large bifold sliding doors opening on the garden and a cosy open fireplace perfect for the chilly autumn/winter nights.
Off the hallway is a very smart downstairs cloakroom finished to a high specification as well as a great storeroom for hiding away all your coats and shoes.
Heading upstairs, all four bedrooms will accommodate at least double beds as well as freestanding furniture. The master bedroom suite is very generous with ample space for a super kingsize (or larger) bed with bedside units, has a built-in wardrobe, space for a chest of drawers or dressing table as well as a further storage cupboard. The ensuite is a superb size with a double width walk-in shower, WC and basin. Bedroom two is another superb size and will also accommodate a super kingsize bed, has a built-in wardrobe and views over the garden whilst bedrooms three and four are comfortable doubles. The family bathroom off the landing has a bath, WC and a basin.
The gardens of the house are a real feature with a really secluded feel and also serves as a sun trap with its south-westerly aspect. There is a patio area with space for alfresco dining and sun loungers whilst the lawn is a great size for children to run about. The garden is bordered by a small brook. To the front is a recently laid resin driveway with parking for 3-4 cars and access to the double garage with automatic roller door.
Ashton Keynes is a popular village on the fringes of the Cotswold Water Park with a number of local facilities including a village shop, The White Hart public house, a very well regarded village school (rated outstanding by SIAMS in June 2017) and a village hall.

There are also numerous angling lakes nearby.
