Berry Hill Crescent, Cirencester

A superb opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow located in one of the most sought after areas on the outskirts of Cirencester town and offering good access to all of the facilities and amenities that the town has to offer. In the recent past the property has undergone refurbishment and extension to now present a stylish and flexible living space with an open aspect onto the secluded rear garden and taking full advantage of the westerly facing open views over farmland and across to the village of Stratton. Externally the property occupies an extremely private and secluded plot with well maintained gardens which create a safe and secure environment for small animals or young children. There is an attached large garage with gravelled parking to the front for approx. five cars and pathway leading to the main entrance door through well tended gardens. The present vendors have also purchased and installed solar panels in the recent past these are highly effective and provide most of the energy needs to the property and also feature an integral battery system for additional free and clean power on demand. We urge early viewing of this superbly presented home on the edge of Cirencester town as properties in Berry Hill Cresent are so rarely available.
