Chapel Lane, Churcham, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL2

This charming, detached property has ASTOUNDING FAR REACHING VIEWS, a LARGE ROOF TERRACE and exposed wooden beams throughout, and is truly one of a kind! It must be viewed to fully appreciate the idyllic lifestyle it offers.

Situated in the sought after location of Chapel Lane, Churcham, the location is a truly rural escape whilst allowing quick and easy access to the A40 with its links to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the M5.

Entering through a white cottage door, the wide hallway features a tiled floor and a WC to your left. Further into the property you’ll find a large rustic kitchen-diner with a sunny breakfast spot on the front patio accessed via a fully glazed door. The kitchen itself features a built-in electric oven and hob, as well as an Aga, plenty of cupboards, and room for a fridge-freezer. The nearby utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer and also offers access to the rear courtyard. Moving through the property, you have the choice of two reception rooms, one of which could also be used as a bedroom or guest room, with patio doors out onto the garden and offering a glimpse of the incredible views from the side window. The principal living room is full of character, with exposed wooden beams and a log burner, perfect for cosy winter evenings. It leads onto a large conservatory, a sun trap all year round with its South-Westerly aspect, and offers lovely views out over the garden.

Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom features exposed wooden beams and benefits from a dual aspect outlook with windows both overlooking the garden as well as the incredible views over fields behind. With steps leading up to it, one of the windows has been widened to allow access out onto the ROOF TERRACE, truly the pièce de resistance of this property. This large terrace offers exceptional views across fields and farmland to the hills behind, enjoying incredible PANORAMIC SUNSETS year round. It is the perfect spot to spend the long summer evenings, and with the potential to install external access via the patio below it will truly take your entertaining to a new level! These views must be seen to be believed and are worth a visit to the property for this alone.

There are also two further double bedrooms upstairs, both benefitting from green leafy views, as well as two bathrooms, one with a shower over bath and one with a walk-in shower.
The garden is a veritable playground for nature lovers and keen gardeners alike. It is exceptionally private and of a substantial size, with mature trees and shrubs, including oak, cedar, maple cherry, elder, apple and blackthorn, providing a secluded retreat and meaning you are not overlooked in any direction. The garden hosts an abundance of wildlife, perfect for bird watchers, and the sunny patio area is the ideal space for entertaining. The ornamental ponds, whilst requiring attention to bring them back to life, once brought the soothing sounds of trickling water to the garden and there are uninterrupted views across the fields to the right.

Off road parking for up to four cars can be found at the end of the garden, as well as a sturdy timber car port and large garden shed with power and lighting, offering potential to be developed into a home office space, tucked away from the main house. The parking area is gated, with a smaller pedestrian access gate.

On the cusp of the Forest of Dean, whilst still within a convenient distance from Gloucester City Centre, the neighbourhood has much to offer, with an independent garden centre and tea room a short walk up the lane and the local pub accessed via a pleasant stroll across the fields behind. The award-winning Severn and Wye Smokery provides a high class dining experience within a short drive along country lanes, easy to cycle or book a taxi, and Gloucester train station can be reached within 15 minutes by car for those wanting to travel further afield. Churcham Primary School and Minsterworth Kindergarten offer excellent childcare provision, with Highnam playground and Over Farm Park a short drive away. The attractive market towns of Ross on Wye and Newent are also within easy reach. This is truly ideal location for families, commuters and downsizers, offering something for everyone. Viewings are highly recommended on this wonderful property.
