<p><b>Council tax band:</b> F<br/></p><p>An incredibly charming detached character home, dating back to the mid-1800's, retaining huge amounts of original period features and occupying an enviable elevated position with far reaching views. Arranged over two floors with additional cellar storage the property offers a good degree of flexibility and pleasant proportions befitting the era.<br/><br/>A part glazed timber framed porch with quarry tiled flooring leads to the original front door, which in turn leads into the entrance hallway. This hall has a door leading to the cellar, stairs ascending to the first floor and doors to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen and downstairs bedroom. This bedroom has a shuttered window overlooking the front garden and could readily be used as a second sitting room. <br/><br/>The sitting room to the rear has a shuttered sash window, exposed timber floors, a marble fireplace with log-burning stove and chimney recesses inset with custom-fitted bookcases. The dining room which similarly has a shuttered sash window is open to the kitchen which offers a range of solid wooden units and work surfaces inset with a Belfast sink, alongside a gas-fired Aga and a stunning outlook. Leading from the kitchen is the sun room and also the utility room. <br/><br/>The fully glazed sun room offers ample space for both seating and dining, double doors onto the front terrace and a panoramic view across Wotton town. The mellow brick paved terrace to the front enjoys a southerly aspect and provides multiple seating opportunities, alongside gated access to the footpath into town.<br/><br/>The utility leading from the kitchen is a useful room with ample space for laundry appliances and additional kitchen appliances, in addition to a secondary oven, a utility sink and doors to the front and rear. Leading from the utility there is a fabulous studio/guest bedroom with a WC, lots of natural light and an external door making it ideal for use as an independent work space.<br/><br/>Upstairs a light filled landing leads to three beautifully proportioned bedrooms with shuttered windows and extraordinary views, alongside the family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a well-equipped ensuite shower room. The family bathroom offers excellent proportions, a period-styled suite with a shower over the bath and a large linen cupboard which houses a recently fitted gas boiler.<br/><br/>Outside the mature gardens have been beautifully planted and designed to offer several areas from which to enjoy the panorama and sunshine throughout the day. A raised terrace offers a generous entertaining area as well as the greenhouse, while a further patio terrace located adjacent to the kitchen is perfect for entertaining. There are generous expanses of lawn, well-stocked borders, and mature trees and shrubs, all benefitting from uninterrupted sunshine throughout the day. A block paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles as well as access to the double garage which has useful overhead storage. To the rear, accessed via the leafy public footpath there is a timber gate into a further 'secret garden', which is a generous and private space currently used as an orchard/wildflower meadow, which offers huge potential for a keen gardener or nature enthusiast.</p><p>The property is located on a secluded lane offering a good degree of tranquility, alongside excellent links by both footpath and road into the town. Wotton has a thriving high street with plentiful independent traders, alongside well-regarded restaurants and cafes, two supermarkets, life's essentials such as doctors and dentists and a brilliant farm shop. Additional amenities include a swimming pool, a cinema, Under the Edge Arts - a volunteer led arts centre in the centre of town, a choice of very well-regarded primary schools along with popular Katharine Lady Berkeley (KLB) secondary school, and an excellent choice of golf courses nearby.<br/><br/>The property benefits from good commuter links with Junction 14 of the M5 motorway and Junction 18 of the M4 motorway easily reached, providing fast routes to Bristol, Gloucester and London, with London mainline railway stations at Stroud (12 miles) and Kemble (18 miles). Nearby Charfield (2.5 miles) is scheduled to have it's own station in 2027 with direct trains to popular Bristol, Gloucester & Cheltenham.<br/><br/>Tenure: Freehold<br/>Council Tax: Band F<br/>Services: We understand that all mains services are connected to the property.<br/>Heating: Gas central heating.<br/>Internet: Standard, Superfast & Ultrafast Broadband available (Ofcom)<br/>Flood risk: Low<br/>Conservation Area: N/A</p>
