Dynevor Place, Fairford, Gloucestershire, GL7

A charming period attached home, enviably positioned on the edge of Fairford with open views to the front, yet just a short walk from the High Street and Market Place.

Believed to date back 150 years, this handsome home combines an attractive Victorian façade with beautifully balanced accommodation that is far more extensive than first impressions suggest, having been thoughtfully extended to the rear over time. Rich in character throughout, the property offers a wonderful blend of period charm and practical family living.

The ground floor is centred around a welcoming reception hall with substantial storage space and offers three characterful reception rooms. The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, enjoying open views to the front, original flagstone flooring and a fireplace with wood-burning stove. A separate dual aspect dining room also features a fireplace with wood burner and access to the impressive kitchen/family room to the rear. The kitchen/family room is an unexpected highlight of the property, providing modern family living with a recently installed kitchen and kitchen island, ample space for lounging or additional dining and with large bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. A practical utility room, wetroom and back door access complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, two having spectacular views across open countryside, and a striking family bathroom, fitted to a high standard with a roll-top bath and contemporary wet room-style shower.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A gated side driveway leads to a single garage, log store and a substantial garden workshop with potential use as a garden room, gym or office. The gardens themselves are a particular highlight — private, well established with ponds and interlinking stream, substantial entertaining space and of an excellent size. There is also potential for further extension or the creation of additional parking/garaging, subject to the necessary consents.

A distinctive period home in a sought-after edge-of-town setting, offering character, space and versatility in equal measure.
