Location

Coln St Aldwyns is a picturesque and highly sought after Cotswold village, lying between Bibury and Fairford and just 9 miles from the vibrant market town of Cirencester, which offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants and independent boutiques.

27 Hatherop Road is located on the edge of the village. The surrounding land is owned in the main by the Williamstrip and Hatherop Estates which help protect the village from development. Albeit a small community, Coln St Aldwyns is fortunate in retaining its community shop & cafe and Post Office and the highly acclaimed pub, The New Inn.

Communications in the area are first class with easy access to London, Swindon, Bath and Bristol. Junction 15 of the M4 is within easy access and close to Cheltenham is Junction 11a of the M5 which links to Birmingham and the south. Swindon Station provides a regular service to London Paddington taking approximately 60 minutes. The neighbouring village of Hatherop provides a primary school and private education with Hatherop Castle School, whilst the nearest state secondary school is Farmor's School in Fairford, some 3 miles away.

Description

27 Hatherop Road is an immaculately presented, bright and airy semi-detached cottage, with triple aspect views sweeping across the Williamstrip and Hatherop Estates - acres of meadow, parkland and farmland - and the much loved undulating Coln Valley and rushing waters of the River Coln.

The house is perfectly positioned to enjoy both the buzz of a thriving village; with its hugely respected village shop and popular pub The New Inn, whilst also being able to walk straight out the door into some of the most favoured walks in the area. Wandering downhill to the River Coln, flanked by rolling hills that are home to flocks of sheep – a truly bucolic scene.

There is a garden path that leads up to the main entrance at the front of the house. On entering the house there is a useful Hall for kicking off shoes and hanging coats, with a dual aspect Sitting Room directly in front offering lovely views across both the front and rear gardens. There is an existing chimney breast with a (non-functioning) fireplace creating a focal point for the room.

To the east is the Dining Room which also offers dual aspect views, allowing plenty of light into the room making it a lovely area to host in.

Through to the Kitchen which has been modernised in recent years, decorated in a classic shaker style with oak worktops, French-grey wall tiles and wooden flooring. Fully integrated electric hob and oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer as well as ample storage with cupboards above and below work tops. The sink is in a very well positioned spot to fully appreciate the views out across the garden with the tall trees of Williamstrip Park peeking over the drystone wall boundary. Separate door leads to the downstairs WC before the side door takes you out into the garden.

The upstairs is laid out over one floor which comprises two double bedrooms, a landing (home office area) and a large family bathroom with separate shower.

Due to its elevated positioning; on the edge of Coln St Aldwyns going out towards Hatherop, 27 Hatherop Road's large wrap around garden, helped by the uninterrupted views across the wonderful Williamstrip Park, creates such a rural feel and sense of privacy. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with a patio area to the far rear, perfect for al fresco dining. There is a drystone wall boundary.

There are two stone outbuildings; one located at the back of the house; the other to the side which is accessed from the Utility Room, perfect for storing bikes, pushchairs etc.
