Church View forms an attractive well designed cul-de-sac on an elevated site. It was built by Berkeley Homes in the 1990’s and the present owners purchased the property in 2008. No 5 is in an elevated position commanding stunning 180 degree views. The rear garden has a view of the village church. All rooms have wonderful views. Either across the Gloucestershire countryside, the Severn Bridge and Bristol Channel at the front, or looking over its well established south facing garden to the church, at the rear. The interior has moulded ceiling cornices, dado rails, panelled doors and moulded skirting boards. The present owners have maintained the property extremely well and replaced the kitchen and utility room in 2014 with a bespoke German kitchen by Boulevard Kitchens. Integrated appliances include two ovens, warming drawer, hob, dishwasher, larder fridge, and in the utility room an under counter freezer.<br/><br/>The conservatory roof was replaced a few years ago with Pilkington reflective glass. In the garden, a water feature was added with pond and waterfall. From the hall, double doors open into the sitting room which has a stone fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. The sitting room opens into the conservatory, overlooking and accessing the garden. The dining room overlooks the rear garden and the snug looks over countryside.
