Fraziers Folly, Siddington, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

A wonderfully individual property in a secluded setting tucked away behind mature hedging and established planting, nestled on the edge of the allotments.

Located in the heart of Siddington, this popular village enjoys a wonderful sense of community.

This stone-built house dates from the 1870’s, enjoys high ceilings, period features and a light spacious feel throughout, further enhanced by the flexible nature of the accommodation and the great potential offered by the outbuilding/studio.

The main access is via five-bar double gates: a path meanders through a woodland garden to the side, enjoying the open views across the allotments. The entrance porch gives useful storage prior to accessing the farmhouse-style kitchen, a spacious room with high ceilings and dual aspect. The kitchen has a wide range of cream shaker style units complimented by solid wooden worktops and a butler sink. Set within an original chimney breast is an electric range cooker with gas hob and griddle. Restored original floorboards add to the character feel and there is ample room for a dining table.

The generous sitting room can be zoned to create two areas; the focal point is the dressed stone wall with a wood burning stove. A trap door accesses storage space beneath. A large window overlooks the rear and French doors open out onto steps that lead down into the courtyard. Completing the
ground floor is a very useful utility/laundry room with WC.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms served by a recently refitted family bathroom and a contemporary design shower room. A further room creates a compact home work space. To the second floor, there is a generous attic room with built-in storage and a sink. Velux rooflights flood this versatile space with light.

The courtyard garden is a wonderful sheltered haven for outside entertaining or a quiet space in which to relax. The generous size of the outbuilding provides great scope to suit a variety of lifestyles, creating ancillary accommodation or a home work space (subject to planning). Previously used as a studio, it benefits from water, lighting, electricity and heating. To the front there is a gravelled parking area bound by mature planting.

LOCATION: Siddington is a thriving community south of Cirencester. There is something for everyone – clubs to join, as well as a wonderful pub and an active church.
