Clappen Close, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7

A detached family home on a desirable new build estate on the edge of town, with excellent road links.

Description

24 Clappen Close forms part of a modern development built in 2017 by David Wilson Homes and is constructed from the local honey-coloured Cotswold stone. The development is in a sought-after position on the eastern edge of town and is ideal for commuting via the nearby A417/A419 dual carriageway or east to Fairford and Lechlade.

The property is attractively presented throughout and has been updated from new by the popular local interior designer, Llewellyn-Bowen Design, including hand-painted murals in the kitchen. The décor is vibrant and elegant with stylish wall coverings and complementary wood-effect and carpet floors, adding character to a stylish new build. The house is spacious and offers plenty of room for entertaining and spending time as a family, with two separate reception areas.

There is a good-size sitting room with bay window, a study, a cloakroom and an open plan kitchen and dining room with adjoining utility room on the ground floor. Upstairs there are four spacious bedrooms, two of which are en suite, as well as a family bath/shower room. All of the bedrooms have the advantage of built-in wardrobes.

Outside
The house benefits from an off-street parking space in front of the detached single garage and faces onto an open green space. To the rear there is an enclosed garden designed in a low-maintenance courtyard style, with an astroturf lawn, paved terrace and several raised borders stocked with a variety of shrubs including an impressive lavender border.

Location

The Roman town of Cirencester is often referred to as the Capital of the Cotswolds and, being at the intersection of the Fosse Way and Ermin Way, it is extremely accessible. This development just outside the town centre is in a great position for accessing the A419/A417 dual carriageway and the Fosse Way. The area is close to beautiful nearby countryside and yet is still within easy reach of Cirencester’s vibrant town centre, with its bustling marketplace, excellent boutiques and restaurants and lovely walking in the Abbey Grounds.

More extensive shopping, leisure and educational facilities can be found in Cheltenham and Oxford, including Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies, Wycliffe and Rencomb, the latter easily accessed via the Cheltenham Road. There are further good schooling options locally in both the state and private sector, including Deer Park and Kingshill (walkable at 0.4 miles) secondary schools in Cirencester and Farmor’s in Fairford, as well as Hatherop Castle, Beaudesert and Westonbirt.

A good range of sporting opportunities in the area include various golf courses, racing at Cheltenham, sailing and watersports within the Cotswold Water Park, polo at Westonbirt and Cirencester Park and a number of high-profile equestrian events including Badminton and Gatcombe horse trials.

Communications are first class with a direct service from Kemble (6.4 miles) to London Paddington taking 75 minutes. Both the M4 and M5 are easily accessible via the A417/A419 dual carriageways. All mileages/times are approximate.
