Chapel House High Street, South Cerney, Cirencester

A beautiful and rare find is this detached 2 double bedroom house built on the site of a former Chapel in the village of South Cerney. With an abundance of living space and low maintenance garden, this could be the ideal country bolt hole or suit those downsizing.

Built around 20 years ago, Chapel House, as the name might suggest, sits on the site of a former chapel in the wonderful Cotswolds village of South Cerney in the heart of the Cotswold Waterpark. The village has a fabulous community spirit with plenty of activities, groups, societies and amenities on the doorstep.

The present owners have spared no expense during their tenure with a thorough redecoration throughout, replaced all the windows and carried out numerous repairs to now leave a turn key property ready for the next lucky owners to move in with minimal hassle.

To the front of the house is a Cotswold stone wall with a picket gate opening to the path leading to the entrance porch to the side of the house. As you step through the front door you are welcomed by an inviting and sympathetically decorated hallway with a downstairs cloakroom with WC, a laundry cupboard with space for appliances, further storage, stairs to the first floor and doors leading to the living room and kitchen straight ahead.

The living room is a glorious dual aspect space with high ceilings and windows adorned with plantation style shutters creating a bright yet cosy room. The fireplace with flanking inset shelving units provides a grand focal point and there is ample room for two or three sofas should one desire.

The kitchen has been fitted with a range of bespoke Oak units with light stone worktops as well as integrated appliances including dual Neff ovens, Miele halogen hob, dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. Light comes through the forward facing window and opens through to the conservatory, currently used as a dining room. From here are French doors to the garden.

Heading upstairs to the first floor landing is access to the two double bedrooms, bathroom and built in storage. The master bedroom looks out to the front and side of the house, has fitted wardrobes and plenty of space for freestanding furniture and a kingsize or even super kingsize bed. Bedroom two is another generous size with roof lights and space for a kingsize bed. The bathroom is fitted with a skylight, WC, basin and kidney shape bath with a shower over.

Outside, the gardens have been created with minimum maintenance and maximum relaxation in mind and is split between the front and back of the house. Both are fully enclosed with a very private feel. Parking is available on the allocated driveway space which is accessed via a gravel side road adjacent to the neighbouring property.

South Cerney has a host of fantastic local amenities including three pubs, an Indian restaurant, the Braai House deli & post office, a fish & chip shop, a chemist, a doctor's surgery, vets, a village hall, two churches, a primary school, pre-school playgroup, a One-Stop and a Co-Op. That's in addition to being in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park with countless lakes for all varieties of water sports. Commuting connections to London are a breeze with direct trains to Paddington from Kemble (78 mins) 4 miles away or Swindon (58 mins) 12.5 miles away. The A419 gives access to the M4 Jct 15 (16 miles) whilst Cirencester is only 4 miles and Cheltenham 20 miles away. As well as the local village school there are a number of secondary schools in and around Cirencester along with great private and grammar schools.
