The property The Links is one of two exceptional contemporary houses constructed by the developer Cotswold Barn Conversions. It captures the essence of modern family living in the heart of the Cotswolds whilst retaining a Cotswold appearance fitting for a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Each house stands in its own 1.5 acre plot, bounded by Cotswold stone walls and natural hedging and with uninterrupted views across the undulating 18 hole Cirencester Golf Course and surrounding countryside. Located just outside the town the house has been carefully set into the hillside to take advantage of the beautiful views and throughout the property there is a tremendous feeling of space and light. Using the highest quality local materials the split level design provides well proportioned accommodation on three levels with underfloor heating throughout.

A wide limestone staircase leads up the 43’ long family kitchen with its ‘Stonehouse’ fully fitted kitchen, Dining Area and TV/snug with built-in oak bookcase and limestone floor. Bi-folding doors running the full length of the room open out onto a west facing terrace which is perfect for outside dining. The adjoining 34’ long sitting room also has bi- folding doors along two walls one set opening onto the terrace the other onto a delightful private garden area. The room has a ‘Vario’ woodburner and an oak floor. There are 5 bedrooms arranged over the ground and first floor, 3 on the ground floor with 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite) and two further bedrooms on the first floor both with en-suite shower rooms.
