Church Lane, Coln St. Aldwyns, Cirencester, GL7

Holly Cottage is a well-presented detached period property, which lies within the village conservation area and in an area designated as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Quietly situated along a no-through road, which leads to the village church, we believe the cottage was built in the early 1800s and is constructed of mellow Cotswold stone, with traditional stone tiles to the front roof slope. There is a more recent extension to the rear and planning was previously granted for a further extension to replace the current sunroom.
On the ground floor, a gabled porch leads directly into an excellent-sized main reception room, which has a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The garden room/dining room is another lovely light room with double-glazed windows on three aspects and double doors which open onto the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted floor and wall cupboards with deep wooden work surfaces and incorporates a range master cooker.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with south facing windows and built-in wardrobes and two bathrooms, both with baths and separate shower cubicles.
On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms with high vaulted ceilings and windows with lovely views over the village.

Gardens and Grounds:
A drive leads through double timber gates, to a gravelled drive and parking area to the rear of the cottage and an oak-framed carport. Adjoining the carport there is a useful Cotswold stone outbuilding with light and power connected.
The garden lies predominantly to the rear of the cottage and a short flight of semi-circular stone steps lead up from the back door to a paved terrace, and a summerhouse.
There is a small but very pretty front garden with well-stocked flower and shrub beds and a path leads through a timber pedestrian gate set between Cotswold stone walls to the front door.

Services:
Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Oil fired central heating.
