Barnfield, Kineton, Guiting Power, Cheltenham, GL54

A spacious house with special gardens in a desirable hamlet

Description

1 Barnfield is a semi-detached property constructed in the 1970s with later additions the result of which is a spacious and light house ideal for rural family life.

The accommodation is set out over two floors and comprises a substantial sitting room with wood burning stove and double doors to the front, a dining room with fitted cupboards, a family room with bi-fold doors and a kitchen with vaulted ceiling and an excellent range of cabinets. A pantry and WC can be found off the rear hall.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room, two further bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Accessed from the entrance hall is a ground floor utility and shower room with office/bedroom four above. This part of the house is perfect for guests or ancillary family accommodation and can be self-contained if so desired.

A single garage lies to the side of the house and there is ample gravelled parking for several cars to the front. Mature tall hedging surrounds the property. The gardens are a very special feature of the property and have been designed to create a number of ‘rooms’ divided by the clever use of topiary and hedging. The gardens are mature with areas of level lawn, well-stocked beds and specimen trees. There is a parterre garden with well maintained dwarf yew hedging to the front. At the end of the rear garden is a paved area which is perfect for al fresco dining.
