Robert Franklin Way, South Cerney, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

An absolute must see, one off, hidden gem located in the heart of South Cerney, this exceptional single story dwelling occupies a beautiful river fronted plot of c0.3 acres.


Set within 1/3 acre plot with a river frontage, is this exceptional three double bedroom detached single story dwelling. The current owners have reconfigured the internal plan to take advantage of the space, volume and light, creating a calm, peaceful oasis perfect for modern living. Contemporary materials of high quality have been used throughout to create an impressive space spanning over 1800 Sq Ft. Subject to the necessary planning, there is also an opportunity to convert the extensive loft to create three further bedrooms.

Upon entry, oak flooring runs underfoot throughout the hallway and corridor leading to the bedrooms, and double opening glazed oak doors offer views into the beautifully proportioned sitting room with a modern wood burning stove. The kitchen dining space is located to the rear of this property and has been designed to create long sight-lines and beautiful vignettes of the gardens, and is a true heart of this wonderful home. Modern shutters throughout give a continental feel.
Non slip porcelain floor tiles have been laid throughout the kitchen dining area and continue seamlessly into both the garden room and adjacent utility. The kitchen is complimented by a full range of base units and a wonderful large central island, all topped with striking 30mm recycled glass worktops. Matching wall units provide excellent storage in addition to an extensive range of integrated appliances and an all-important boiling tap. The garden room enjoys a fantastic connection with the outside space with bi-folding doors creating a smooth transition between indoors and out. A roof lantern allows light to permeate this space and adds a tremendous sense of volume to the room. On those cooler days, a modern grey cylindrical wood burning stove can be lit for some comforting back ground heat.

The main bedroom enjoys a dual aspect view, with patio doors opening to a spacious paved terrace, and is fitted with an excellent range of wardrobes and a beautifully appointed fully tiled ensuite bath and shower room. A cloakroom and two further double bedrooms each with wardrobes, and complimented by a generous shower room, complete the living space.

Outside
Electrically operated double wrought iron gates open to a beautifully maintained garden which has been carefully planted with an abundance of evergreen trees, flowers and perennial shrubs to ensure the garden has colour and foliage all year round. Areas of level lawn are intersected by grey porcelain paving which connects to a generous central terrace. A raised decking area, laid with hard wood provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy the river and a clever use of lighting illuminates the trees and garden. A double garage is located to the front of the property with extensive parking to the driveway with automatic night lighting. Fully alarmed with CCTV cameras.
