Woodmancote, Cirencester

The Property

Nestled within the sought-after Cotswold village of Woodmancote, The Old Paddock enjoys an idyllic setting surrounded by rolling countryside in the beautiful Churn Valley, perfectly positioned between Cirencester and Cheltenham. Offering generous family accommodation, excellent parking, a double garage and a wonderfully private south-west facing garden, this is a home designed for modern family living in one of the area's most desirable rural locations.

Approached through a gated entrance the property immediately makes an excellent first impression. A gravel driveway provides parking for four to five vehicles alongside the detached double garage, while the front garden and sheltered storm porch create a welcoming arrival.

Stepping inside, the spacious entrance hall benefits from underfloor heating and provides access to all of the principal ground floor rooms.

To one side is the bright dual-aspect sitting room, a wonderfully comfortable space centred around an open fireplace that creates the perfect focal point during the colder months. Fitted storage adds practicality, while views over the front garden ensure the room feels light throughout the day.

Across the hallway, a downstairs cloakroom sits alongside a dedicated home office, ideal for those working remotely or requiring a quiet study space, or a perfect playroom for younger ones.

At the rear of the property, overlooking the garden, is the well-appointed kitchen. Offering an abundance of worktop and cupboard space, a range cooker and room for a dishwasher, it has everything keen cooks require. The adjoining utility room provides additional storage, a sink, space for laundry appliances, room for further refrigeration and direct access to the garden.

The separate dining room is perfectly proportioned for entertaining, comfortably accommodating large family gatherings or dinner parties.  The room opens onto the conservatory, a versatile additional reception room featuring a tiled floor, central heating and attractive leaded-light windows, allowing it to be enjoyed throughout the year.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The principal bedroom enjoys views to the front and features extensive fitted wardrobes, additional built-in storage and a generous en-suite shower room complete with WC, wash basin, bidet and natural light.

Bedrooms two and three are similarly sized double rooms, both enjoying pleasant garden views and fitted wardrobes, while bedroom four is a comfortable single room currently utilised as a second home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath incorporating a shower over, WC and wash basin.

Outside, the beautifully established south-west facing rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and is perfectly orientated to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. A generous patio provides the ideal setting for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and entertaining, while a thoughtfully screened vegetable garden creates a productive growing space without interrupting the main lawn. There is gated side access to the front of the property together with internal access to the double garage, which benefits from power, lighting and electric garage doors.
