Coln St. Aldwyns, Cirencester, Gloucestershire

The property built in traditional Cotswold stone, 22 Coln St Aldwyns is a characterful home that has been sensitively improved and extended to suit modern family life. A more recent addition to the original house is the spacious entrance hallway which creates a wonderful and light first impression.

To the rear, the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is well designed with patio doors opening directly onto the garden terrace, perfect for entertaining outdoors. A separate utility room, accessed from the hallway, also offers direct garden access and adds valuable practicality.

The two reception rooms are located to the front of the house. The dining room and sitting room are both filled with character, each centred around a feature fireplace that adds charm and warmth to the space. The lower ground floor includes an accessible cellar, ideal for wine, storage or potential conversion.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which connects to three bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom features vaulted ceilings and an en suite bathroom, while the second and third bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, children or a home office, depending on requirements. A separate staircase leads to the second floor, where a spacious fourth bedroom enjoys privacy and elevated views. A bathroom lies opposite, providing a selfcontained suite ideal for guests or older children.

There is potential for further extension, as demonstrated by the neighbouring property, subject to the relevant planning consents.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, beautifully nurtured to create distinct zones for outdoor living and planting. A patio lies immediately outside the kitchen doors, perfect for summer dining, and leads onto a lawn surrounded by mature fruit trees and a rich variety of herbaceous borders that provide yearround colour. Beyond the main garden is a hidden second garden, complete with raised beds, additional planting, and a secluded seating area offering peace and privacy.

There is off-street parking next to the property, an exceptionally rare and valuable feature in this village.

Coln St Aldwyns is one of the Cotswolds most desirable villages, known for its attractive stone houses, thriving community and idyllic countryside surroundings. The village benefits from a well-stocked community shop and café (opposite the house) as well as The New Inn pub, while a wide network of footpaths offers exceptional walking opportunities right from the doorstep.

Nearby Bibury, Fairford, and Cirencester offer wider amenities, with excellent schools, pubs, and restaurants, while Kemble Station provides direct rail access to London Paddington.
