4 bed detached house for sale

France Lynch GL6

The Woodlands is a detached character property situated in a lovely location well away from passing traffic at sought after France Lynch, Chalford Hill. This position is private, yet very much part of the thriving local community, with good schools and pubs within easy reach and a super view over the valley beyond at the end of the garden. The property was originally built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has been extended on two occasions. The property is neat and tidy but would now benefit from some updating. Is does however offer a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to create a brilliant family home to their own standards.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. A porch, 15’ dining room, kitchen and 15’ sitting room are on the ground floor. A landing, principal bedroom with connecting attic storage room that could be converted to provide a dressing room/study (subject to relevant consent), a bathroom and a further bedroom are on the first floor, with two further bedrooms at the top of the house, and the second floor. One of these is open to the stairwell, but our purchaser may choose to erect a stud wall with a door here, creating a private bedroom. Available with no onward chain, and bound to be popular - call today to book to view.

A large garden, drive with space to park several vehicles and a garage/workshop complement the interior. The access to the drive is to the side of the property. It is a little narrow at 2.48m, but there is then space to park several vehicles along the drive, with a turning space in front of the house. A detached timber built garage/workshop is at the bottom of the drive, with double doors. The gardens are set to the front of the property, making the most of the aspect and outlook. There is a paved seating area by the front of the house, and steps lead down past a planted border and pond from here to the lawn. This slopes gently away from the house, past vegetable beds and established borders to the bottom of the plot, and a greenhouse. The property is currently unregistered, so we are unable to provide a plot measurement, but this is a good garden by any standard.
