The Sunground, Avening, Tetbury, GL8

This end of terraced, non-traditional construction property is in the heart of the sought after village of Avening, offering pretty rooftop views over the valley.

Arranged over two floors, the accommodation comprises: an entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor, a sitting room at the front of the property, and a kitchen/dining room at the rear with a door opening to the rear garden. A convenient walk-in larder/storage cupboard, which could be converted into a utility room or WC, adds further potential. On the first floor, there is a landing with access to the loft space, two double bedrooms, and a single bedroom/office/nursery. The family bathroom completes this floor. The property also benefits from double glazed windows throughout.

The generous garden extends mainly to the rear and side, featuring a lawn, mature shrubs, an ornamental pond, and fenced and hedged boundaries. There is also a small open-plan lawn area to the front.

Additionally, it may be possible to create a driveway to the front of the house, as other residents on the street have done, subject to the usual planning permissions.
