Property Description

Please quote ref AH0137.

Salou is a well presented, modernised village home set in the heart of this popular village on the outskirts of Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. The outside of the home has been professionally landscaped front and rear to provide a stunning showpiece approach to this family home. The long front garden, bounded by the Cotswold stone wall is a sight for passers by and a lovely outlook from the living room with its range of colour through the seasons. The long driveway and turning area makes parking simple, although there is also unrestricted parking on the road for others. 

The front door takes you into the hallway with a feature patterned tiled floor, practical and essential for living in the country, returning from those long muddy walks. The living room at the front has that traditional, large easterly-facing front window to bring in that morning sun. There is a wood burner in here, a village life essential, to provide warmth and charm in the colder months. This leads around into the dining room, still separate from the kitchen and with patio doors out onto another landscaped garden. The kitchen is fitted and houses the oil fired central heating and hot water boiler (there is no mains gas in Andoversford). 

Upstairs are three bedrooms. Two doubles, the rear with an amazing view over open land. Both of these bedrooms have cleverly built-in wardrobes for storage. The third bedroom is a single, again with some built in storage over the bulk head for the stairs. The bathroom has been refitted with a smart and contemporary suite, with a shower over the bath.

The rear garden can be accessed from the side or from the dining room and is a reasonable 32' long, in fact a touch shorter than that amazing front garden. It's bounded by fences and a wall and has a real open feel due to the open countryside over the back. This theme goes through the home as the rear upstairs windows look out over that view, setting your county scene perfectly, unlike the sometimes close living of town.

This property is not just a home but a lifestyle choice. It offers all the benefits of Cotswolds country living, but retains the safety of the access to town. Living "out in the sticks" is lovely, until you need a pint of milk in the cold dark winter! Pop along to the village shop and grab one and return to your cosy retreat with its roaring woodburner.

Andoversford is a small village that has become popular over recent years for it excellent proximity to Cheltenham whilst still being on the edge of the countryside. The village has a good social scene and many facilities akin to larger villages. It has two pubs, a shop, a post office, a village hall and a well regarded primary school with Nursery.  Other facilities include a gym and microbrewery. Its location is perfect to get straight out onto the A40 to Oxford and London. It's an 8 minute drive into Charlton Kings and another couple of minutes to the Cheltenham High Street. It also has strong county connections with a Point to Point course hosting events each spring.
