Sandford Leaze, Avening, Tetbury, GL8

Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this 1980s detached family home offers a unique opportunity to create your dream space in a highly desirable village location. Having been lovingly maintained by the same owner for many years, the property is presented in a clean and tidy condition but offers scope for modernisation. Many neighbouring homes have undergone renovations and extensions, showcasing the potential to transform this house into a contemporary family haven (subject to necessary permissions).

A canopy porch welcomes you into the home, offering a practical and sheltered entry. The front door opens into a bright hallway with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. To the left, a separate dining room offers versatility and potential; it could be integrated with the kitchen to create a spacious, open-plan family kitchen (subject to planning approval). At the rear of the property, the south-facing sitting room is light and airy, providing a relaxing space with lovely views of the garden. The kitchen, while functional, would benefit from updating and includes a utility area with a rear door offering garden access. A staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which provides access to the loft space. The property boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom. This delightful home combines a peaceful location with the potential to personalize and modernize, making it an excellent opportunity for families looking to settle in a friendly and sought-after community.

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing off-road parking for 3-4 cars. The driveway leads to a detached double garage, featuring one electric roller door and one manual door, with ample light, power, and storage in the eaves. The rear garden is a standout feature of the property. Mostly level and laid to lawn, it offers a tranquil retreat bordered by a picturesque stream, perfect for relaxing summer days. Two pedestrian side gates add practicality, making garden maintenance convenient.

Avening enjoys a thriving community partly due to the primary school with a first rate school gate community society. There is a great pub with a great Indian menu, a church, pre-school playgroup, and a well used playing field. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the nearby towns of Nailsworth and Tetbury both about 3 miles away. There are two good local golf courses, one on Minchinhampton Common with 580 acres of National Trust land that provides excellent walking, horse riding opportunities plus the golf course. The M4 and M5 motorways and railway stations at Stroud (7 miles) and Kemble (8 miles) offer convenient transport links to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
