Rectory Lane, Avening, Gloucestershire, GL8

Lothlorien is a very pleasantly situated and well planned four bedroomed semi detached house built some 50 years ago, and enjoying a delightful southerly aspect from the rear with views over most of the village.

The accommodation consists of entrance hall with staircase going down to the bedrooms on the lower ground floor. Off the hall is a cloakroom with a modern white suite whilst across the back of the house is a large sitting - dining room with a stone feature fireplace and double glazed French doors onto a juliet balcony, enjoying the best of the views.

The kitchen leads off the dining area and has a comprehensive range of beech fronted shaker style units comprising base cupboards and drawers with matching wall cupboards and includes a Bosch integrated double oven, gas hob with chimney hood above and integrated dishwasher and fridge. Bedroom three is on this floor and has a window to the front, this could easily be used as a study.

The lower ground floor consists of two double bedrooms both with built in double wardrobes, a fourth bedroom also with built in wardrobe and views over the village, and a well appointed shower room with a white suite that features a double sized level access shower cubicle. There is also a useful utility room with a flagstone floor and planned space for washing machine and tumble dryer with access to the side of the house. An additional room can be used for storage or as a games room/potential cinema room.

The integral garage at the front of the house houses the gas fired central heating boiler (and could easily be converted into another reception room if preferred subject to the usual planning considerations). The front garden is mainly laid to a tarmac drive with a space to park in front of the garage plus an additional space immediately off Rectory Lane. The rear garden has been designed for the minimum of maintenance and is south facing suntrap with an area of decking, gravelled areas interspersed through shrubs, and is well enclosed by tall timber panel fencing.
