France Lynch, Stroud

Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold village of France Lynch, this detached Cotswold stone cottage has been thoughtfully upgraded and extended by its current owners, creating an impressive four-bedroom family home that blends character with contemporary design. Unlike many properties in the area, Wesley View benefits from a private gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, along with gardens to the front, side, and rear. The front and side gardens have been landscaped, while the rear terraced garden, complete with a decked terrace (currently not accessible), offers an opportunity for further improvement. A charming entrance porch provides space for coats and muddy boots, leading into an inner hallway. From here, doors open into the main living areas, while steps lead up to a rear snug/hallway and the modern extension. At the front, a cosy sitting room features built-in shelving and a Cotswold stone fireplace, currently housing an electric stove. The sociable family kitchen, formerly two rooms, now forms the heart of the home, offering space for both seating and dining, centred around a large island with excellent storage and informal dining space. Additional wall and base units complete the room, with space for a fridge/freezer and range cooker. French doors open to a covered courtyard, ideal for entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room/cloakroom. To the rear, a spacious hallway/snug with flagstone floor and roof lights provides a relaxing additional living area. A short flight of stairs leads up to the first floor, reconnecting with the original cottage. The extension adds two double bedrooms, both with roof lights. Bedroom two also features French doors opening onto the side garden and has been used as both a bedroom and sitting room. On the top floor, there are two further double bedrooms along with a modern family bathroom. A large landing cupboard offers potential to be converted into an ensuite wet room, with a lintel already in place.
