Ampney Crucis, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

The Vineyard was originally built in approximately 1990 as a small four bedroom agricultural house. The current owners undertook a meticulous redevelopment and refurbishment and have created the stunning family home it is now. Situated on the edge of the very popular village of Ampney Crucis, the house sits in a lovely, private, rural setting and has the potential to extend further, subject to planning permission. The property is elevated with south-facing views over 2.79 acres of private and well-kept gardens and grounds.

Built out of reconstituted Cotswold stone under a reconstitute stone roof, the property has been designed for county living with both formal and informal access points through the hallway and boot room. The property is approached over a long private driveway that climbs through the land and sweeps around to a gravel parking area at the rear of the house. The living accommodation, which is beautifully presented and has a lovely light and airy feel, is arranged over two floors extending to just under 2,500 sq. ft. Of note is the timberframed extension off the kitchen. This room has stunning views over the gardens and grounds with concertina doors that open on to the south-facing patio. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, all with en suite shower
rooms, and the principal bedroom has an excellent walk in wardrobe. All main living rooms and bedrooms have stunning views over the gardens and grounds.

Gardens and Grounds
Surrounding the southern and eastern sides of the house are multiple terraced areas of the principal living rooms, extending the internal space to the outside. The grounds
extend to 2.79 acres and are laid predominately to lawn with wildflower borders and scattered trees. Across the driveway from the house is a large timber barn currently used for storage and an office. There is also a stable building that needs repair before use.

Communications are first class in the area with nearby A417/A419 dual carriageway ways providing direct access to the M4 and M5 networks.
There are railway stations at Kemble and Swindon from which trains are scheduled to reach London Paddington in under an hour.
Other sporting opportunities are abundant, including challenging golf courses at Cirencester, Minchinhampton, and Burford. Sailing, cycling and water sports can be enjoyed at the Cotswold Water Park.
The area offers an excellent choice of state, grammar and private schools, including the C of E primary school in the village, secondary schools in Fairford and Cirencester, Hatherop Castle, Beaudesert Park, Rendcomb College and the Cheltenham schools.
For those interested in country pursuits, the area provides fantastic riding opportunities, including hunting with the VWH and Beaufort hounds, polo at Cirencester, and National Hunt racing at Cheltenham, Newbury and Bath.
