## Description

The kitchen has been designed with everyday family life in mind and works just as well for relaxed mornings as it does for entertaining. With white gloss cabinetry, built-in appliances and elegant real wood flooring, it feels both practical and stylish. There is plenty of room for a dining table, and the space flows beautifully into a relaxed social area at the back of the house, where bi-fold doors open onto the garden and bring in plenty of natural light.

Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a useful utility room and WC.

The lounge is bright and comfortable, with a real fire adding extra cosiness in the colder months.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a smaller room, ideal as a child’s bedroom or a home office. The family bathroom is fresh and modern, with a shower over the bath.

To the rear, the property also benefits from a detached garage with approved plans for conversion into a bespoke home studio, offering a great option for anyone who works from home. The south-westerly facing garden is well maintained and provides a wonderful space for children, pets, or simply enjoying time outdoors.

In this coveted central spot, residents' permit parking allows 24/7 access right on your doorstep, and Cirencester's vibrant town centre is just a few moments away.

Cirencester is a Cotswold market town with plenty of high street shops, bars, coffee shops and restaurants.  For your convenience, there are several supermarkets, including Waitrose and Tesco, within walking distance.

There are plenty of walks and park in and around Cirencester, which will keep tails wagging and the kids entertained.

There are several primary schools within skipping distance, such as Powels and Cirencester Primary and the local secondary schools are also within easy reach.

The A419 is a short drive away leading to M4 and M5, as is Kemble train station.
