Ricardo Drive, Littlecombe, Dursley, GL11 5BD

A substantial detached five bedroom family home in a particularly special position over-looking the river Cam on the well-regarded Littlecombe estate with a large driveway, double garage and studio. The current owner has invested in improving the property's energy efficiency with the addition of solar panels which have an excellent feed in tariff (07/23 - 08/24 = £2236) and a guaranteed index of 4% per annum running until 02/37, an air-source heat pump and a solar storage battery.

Arranged over two floors the property has superb proportions, wonderfully high ceilings, lots of natural light, and is beautifully well-balanced. A generous entrance porch leads into the hallway and offers plenty of space for life's essentials, along with a good-size coat cupboard and a cloakroom/WC. A beautifully light and bright hallway has stairs ascending to the first floor, a large understairs cupboard and doors into the sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen is a delightful room with a triple aspect, an extensive range of wall and base units complete with integrated appliances, granite worksurfaces, and ample room for a large dining table. The sitting room is an equally generous room with a sunny triple aspect, double doors onto the garden and a run of glazed doors into the garden room which in turn connects to the side terrace.

On the first floor a lofty and light-filled landing serves five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a large picture window and a spectacular outlook over the river Cam, a range of mirrored fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, a generous single bedroom and a large family bathroom on this floor, alongside a useful airing cupboard.

Outside there is a good-size south-westerly facing garden which wraps around the property offering a great deal of privacy, and a convivial connection to the house from the sitting room and sun room. There is a generous terrace to the side ideal for entertaining which has direct access from the sun room, and a very private enclosed area of lawn to the rear, complete with a pergola and mature planting. There is access from the garden onto the footpath alongside the river and to the rear of the garage where you will also find a useful shed. The large double garage houses sixteen solar panels and the solar storage battery and can comfortably fit two vehicles as well as offering workshop space. Above, the timber clad studio is an incredible space ideal for hobbies or home-working, while the block-paved driveway can comfortably accommodate four vehicles.

Littlecombe is well positioned for access to the amenities of both Dursley and Cam, as well as the surrounding countryside, and renowned 'Cam Peak'. The market town of Dursley located on the famous Cotswold Way offers an array of convenient shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes along with 'The Pulse', a popular sports facility with pool, Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club, a library, bus station, and the famous Old Spot Public House, in addition to Leaf and Ground Farm Shop and Cafe. These are all within a comfortable 10-15 minute walk. The two very well-equipped play-parks are a short walk away and there are plenty of footpaths and countryside walks within easy reach. A choice of well-regarded primary schools and popular Rednock secondary school are conveniently positioned around town centre.

For those needing to commute, Cam and Dursley train station just a 10 minute drive away provides commuter links to Bristol and Birmingham. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within relatively easy access, while Stroud (nine miles) and Kemble (sixteen miles) train stations offer convenient links to London.
