Silver Street, South Cerney

Windfalls is an imposing detached property built in 2016 tucked away off Silver Street, in the heart of the fabulous village of South Cerney in the Cotswold Water Park.  Set in grounds of around 0.5acres, the house is tucked away in a private lane shared between 5 properties and hidden away from the passing world of this thriving village.

Built by the current owner on land acquired from neighbouring Atkyns Manor, it has been constructed using modern methods to maximise energy efficiency with air source heat pumps, a substantial mechanical ventilation heat recovery system and even hot water drawn from the log burner in the lounge whilst that is in use. Those wishing to further improve upon this could add a solar heating system to take advantage of the unobstructed east/west orientation of the property.

To the front there is a block paved driveway providing parking for several cars with space in the grounds for a garage to be constructed (you should do your own research on planning requirements for this).  A timber frame porch provides welcome shelter to the main entrance door and an ideal spot to derobe and pop off your muddy boots after a long countryside walk.

Open the front door and you are welcomed to an inviting spacious entrance hall with tiled flooring, stairs to the first floor and doors leading to all the main living spaces of the home.  Underfloor heating warms your feet and stretches throughout the ground floor.  On your right is the study looking out to the front of the house and those with younger children may very well use this as a playroom. 

Next is the triple aspect sitting room with French doors opening to the gardens and plenty of space for a three piece suite centred around the large wood burning stove set into the fireplace.

Across the entrance hall, you will find the kitchen which combines with a sitting area opening onto a dining room beyond to provide a wonderfully social space for entertaining or to enjoy everyday family life.  The kitchen sits at the front of the room with an array of fitted units, worktops and a breakfast bar.  Integrated appliances include an electric oven, induction hob and a dishwasher.  There is ample space for a couple of sofas to relax on in front of the TV or to admire the view of the garden.  A somewhat spectacular feature of this room is the perspex covered and uplit well set in the middle of the floor.  The dining area will comfortably seat 8-10 people or more if desired and has bifold doors opening onto a patio area, perfect for summer BBQs.  Off the kitchen is a utility room with external access ideal for those with four legged friends and also the downstairs cloakroom with WC.

Heading up to the first floor there is a vast landing which could provide an ideal study area or a reading space with an armchair, as it does now.  The master suite is a west and south facing dual aspect room with ensuite bathroom with a bath & shower over.  Across the landing is a second ensuite bedroom  whilst three further rooms share the family bathroom at the end of the hallway.  Here there is a freestanding roll top bath, WC, basin, window and a feature exposed stone wall adding a splash of Cotswold charm to the space.

Outside, the plot extends to around half an acre of mainly lawn interspersed with a few fruit trees and a magnificent fir tree as well as a greenhouse for green fingered enthusiasts.  

There shared access driveway intersects the bottom section of the plot providing access to a newly built neighbour and maintenance access to Atkyns Manor.
