Some homes are renovated. Others are completely reimagined around the way you actually want to live.<br/><br/>Tucked away in the semi-rural hamlet of Wanswell, just outside historic Berkeley, this beautifully refurbished three-bedroom dormer bungalow offers that increasingly difficult combination – a peaceful countryside setting, stylish contemporary interiors and excellent connections when work, family or travel take you further afield.<br/><br/>The current owners have put real thought into creating a home that feels relaxed, sociable and incredibly easy to live in.<br/><br/>At its heart is the shaker-style kitchen, complete with fitted appliances and a breakfast bar for morning coffee or a quick supper. From here, the house opens into what is arguably its showpiece – a fabulous dining room beneath a lantern roof, with bi-folding doors opening straight onto the garden. Filled with natural light, it is a space made for long lunches, dinner with friends and summer evenings when inside and outside become one.<br/><br/>And when winter arrives, the front lounge offers something altogether cosier, with its wood-burning stove creating the perfect place to settle in for the evening.<br/><br/>Two double bedrooms and the family bathroom sit on the ground floor, giving the layout genuine flexibility. One could easily become a home office, guest room or hobby space – particularly useful for professionals working from home or downsizers who want fewer stairs without compromising on space.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the principal bedroom creates its own private retreat, with an en-suite shower room and dedicated wardrobe area.<br/><br/>Outside, the wrap-around garden has been designed to be enjoyed rather than simply admired, with lawn, generous decking and an outdoor bar providing plenty of room for entertaining. There is also ample driveway parking for several vehicles – ideal for visiting family and friends.<br/><br/>Why do we love it?<br/><br/>Because it offers the best of both worlds. You can wake up in a peaceful semi-rural setting, enjoy countryside virtually on your doorstep and still be within easy reach of Berkeley, the A38, M5 and Cam & Dursley railway station.<br/><br/>For professional buyers, it provides a genuine escape from a busy working week without feeling isolated. For those looking to downsize, it offers beautifully finished, flexible accommodation with two ground-floor bedrooms while still retaining that all-important guest space upstairs.<br/><br/>Where are we?<br/><br/>Berkeley offers independent shops, cafés and local services together with its famous castle and strong sense of community. For commuters, the A38 and M5 provide straightforward access towards Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham, while Cam & Dursley railway station offers further connections by rail.<br/><br/>The current owners have loved creating and living in this home, but they are now ready for their own next chapter – one with more time for travel, family and the things they love.<br/><br/>That leaves the opportunity for somebody new to simply move in, unpack and start enjoying everything they have created.
