West Hay Grove, Kemble, GL7

Located in the pretty, vibrant, friendly and well-connected Cotswolds village of Kemble, 24 West Hay Grove is an airy, happy family home bathed in natural light, with a large dual aspect living room, folding doors from the kitchen out onto a generous South facing terrace and well-tended garden beyond, perfect for entertaining. The first floor too is bright and spacious, with built-in wardrobes in three of the bedrooms and a freshly fitted family bathroom and en-suite. A well-proportioned property on a quiet cul-de-sac with a generous, pet and kid-safe enclosed garden to the rear, this is one of the largest plots on the development. A very good primary school, rated excellent for personal development, a popular pub, handy village shop, Kemble’s own train station with direct line to London Paddington, reached in just 75 minutes, and countless walking and cycle routes all lie within a 5-10 minute walk of the property. This is an enviable location indeed!

THE PROPERTY

Through the welcoming hallway, complete with handy under-stair storage, lies the large, bright, 260sqft dual aspect lounge complete with cozy log burner and double doors out onto the generous South facing terrace and garden. A further set of double doors flow through into a second, bright, reception room perfect for use as a separate dining space, kids’ playroom or gym. Next to this is the heart of the home: A gloriously bright kitchen/diner with Velux windows and folding doors, also out onto the terrace, allowing a clear view of kids and pets as they play in the enclosed garden beyond. Off the kitchen is a handy utility area which could double as a pantry. There is also a newly fitted ground floor WC and, next to that, a good-sized home office space. The property benefits from high speed broadband.

Up the stairs and onto the bright landing, you will find 1 single 3 double bedrooms plus a family bathroom. The master bedroom, complete with a large built-in wardrobe, leads on to a tasteful newly fitted en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom with both a shower and a free-standing bath, is also newly fitted. Two of the three further bedrooms have built-in storage and there is also a sizeable loft.

Whilst very much move-in ready, there is also potential to add value to this property by extending up from the kitchen/diner to make a 5th bedroom/ sizeable master suite. There is also an option to open up the kitchen into the second reception area to create a wonderfully spacious area for entertaining.

THE GARDEN

With a large South facing terrace and lawned garden, this is one of the largest plots on West Hay Grove. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing and Cotswold stone and is largely secluded; planting to one side would offer complete privacy and safety for kids and pets to play. Meanwhile, the terrace, which runs the entire length of the property provides a wonderful outdoor dining and entertainment space.

There is a garage plus space for additional off-street parking. Solar panels on the roof of the property typically generate enough power to run the house each month resulting in low utility costs.
