The local area has a wide selection of highly regarded schools in both the public and private sectors and the property is within the catchment for both Kingshill and Deer Park Schools in Cirencester. Private schools include Hatherop Castle, Rendcomb College, Prior Park in Cricklade as well as the schools and colleges in Cheltenham.

Description

In the heart of a coveted village within the idyllic Cotswold Water Park, South Cerney House is a stylish, high specification home set within beautifully landscaped, private gardens.

The entrance hall, with its sweeping staircase, is a striking first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the house. The layout is well balanced between family accommodation and spaces for entertaining, beginning with a large dual aspect sitting room with views over the front and rear gardens. At the centre of the house there is a vast open plan kitchen/dining room, leading to a rear lobby and onwards to a cinema room/second reception room. Further accommodation includes a study, a utility room a shower room with WC and a separate cloakroom.
The first-floor accommodation includes a principal suite with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room, with two bedrooms, a shower room and a games room on the second floor.

Outside
South Cerney House enjoys a commanding position at the heart of this desirable village, set behind high stone walls and an inviting electric gated entrance with mature trees all around the well secluded boundary. The grounds amount to about one acre and include expansive lawned gardens, beautifully landscaped borders and a large terrace spanning the back of the house with a favourable southerly aspect. The gardens also include a number of fantastic leisure amenities, including an all-weather padel tennis court, a basketball court and a hot tub set within the terrace. To the front there is a sizeable gravel driveway with parking for several cars.

The property has previously benefitted from planning permission to erect a triple garage with alternative entrance; however, this has since lapsed.
