Description Pleasantly situated on the edge of a small development of traditional style houses and converted farm buildings, the chestnuts is an attractive cotswold stone semi detached family house that offers particularly well planned and beautifully presented accommodation. the property has been maintained to a very high standard by the current owners and perfectly blends character features with a modern yet neutral finish. Approached over a gravel driveway that provides parking for 2/3 cars, there is a walk way that wraps around the side of the house, giving access to a very private rear garden. the reception hall is a very welcoming space, being very airy with double height ceiling in places, therefore permitting plenty of natural light to come through the Velux windows from the first floor landing. other features include solid oak flooring plus exposed stone work and beams. there are doors off to all rooms and the double garage along with a staircase (providing ample under stairs storage) rising to the first floor. Double doors lead through to the sitting room, which is a very good size with two windows, painted ceiling beams and a log burner. the conservatory/dining room is a superb additional reception room and compliments the character of the house. With windows on both sides and a roof lantern, this is a wonderful room that provides access out to the garden and also opens through to the kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted with an extensive range of cottage style oak wall and base units along with a central island, the kitchen also includes an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer and rangemaster with stainless steel splash back. there is plenty of space for a good sized breakfast table, solid oak flooring and a large window overlooking the rear garden. Also on the ground floor is a shower room, utility room and study/5th bedroom. At first floor level is a very spacious landing with views across surrounding countryside to the side and rear. the master bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom and large walk in wardrobe with hanging rail and shelving. the second bedroom is a wonderful guest bedroom, being a good sized double with a range of fitted wardrobes and a large semi-circular window overlooking the garden and open countryside beyond. there are two further good sized double bedrooms and a very nicely fitted contemporary four piece family bathroom. the rear garden is beautifully maintained and securely enclosed by a combination of cotswold stone walling, timber fence panels and hedging so to provide more privacy. the terrace is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining as it is located just off the conservatory and there is also rear access in to the double garage.
