St Giles Barton, Hillesley

Positioned in the heart of the charming village of Hillesley is this deceptively spacious two-bedroom, mid terrace property which has been beautifully maintained throughout with scope to create a further bedroom.  There is also a separate garage and parking space.  Offered to the market with no onward chain. 

St Giles Barton is a small cul-de-sac of properties believed to have been built in the late 1980’s and this particular home faces onto the village High Street with the most impressive view of St Giles Church.  The setting is peaceful and picturesque, ideal for families or those seeking a tranquil retreat with community charm.  Both Hillesley primary school and the community owned, The Fleece Pub are within a short stroll.  

The accommodation is set across two floors reaching approximately 822sq.ft and provides flexible accommodation. The space has the option of converting one bedroom into two or converting the loft space into a room (subject to the relevant planning permissions). 

The front door opens into a useful porch with space to hang coats and store shoes ahead of an internal door opening into the welcoming sitting room.  Stairs rising to the first floor sit to one side of the room with a useful understairs storage cupboard.  The room is finished with wood effect flooring and the window at the front overlooks the church opposite and is finished with plantation shutters. The kitchen/dining room sits across the rear of the house and is filled with natural light from the French doors opening out to the rear garden.  The space is finished with a tiled floor and there is an excellent range of solid wood base and wall cabinets finished with granite worktops.  The oven with extractor above, dishwasher, and fridge are included as part of the sale.  There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Upstairs, the landing area leads to two bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Both bedrooms are of double proportions and benefit from fitted wardrobes. The rear bedroom is an ‘L’ shape with two windows overlooking the rear garden and could, if required, be divided to create three bedrooms.  The modern family bathroom comprises a white suite including a bath with a shower over, a wash basin set within a vanity unit, WC and heated towel radiator.  The loft space accessed from the landing could also be converted into a further room (subject to the relevant planning permissions).

Outside the property boasts an attractive dry-stone wall that borders the front garden with a paved path leading to the front door. At the rear of the property, the garden has been predominantly laid to shingle with a patio terrace and two raised sleeper beds.  A paved path leads to the rear pedestrian gate opening onto the cul-de-sac of St Giles Barton.  At the head of the cul-de-sac is a block of garages one of which belongs to this house along with a parking space.

We understand the property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage. Council tax band D (Stroud District Council). The property is freehold.
