Location
Sunset View is situated in a lovely position on the edge of Stow-on-the-Wold. It enjoys a pleasant aspect with views over adjoining fields and as its name suggests views of the setting sun particularly in the summer months.
Stow-on-the-Wold is situated in an elevated position and came to prominence during the 17th and 18th Centuries primarily due to the wool trade. As such many fine buildings were constructed around The Square and for which the town is well known. There is an excellent variety of hotels, guest and public houses. Many of the shops are boutique style and are sufficient for everyday requirements and in addition there is a recently extended supermarket on the northern edge of the town.
Bourton-on-the-Water is 4 miles to the south and Moreton-in-Marsh is 4 miles to the north. Both have a more extensive range of shops and facilities. The Cotswold secondary school and a public leisure centre is located in Bourton which also has a recently extended medical centre whilst there is a train station in Moreton with a service to London Paddington via Oxford. Moreton also benefits from a new NHS hospital and medical centre.
The larger commercial and cultural centres of Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford are 19, 21 and 30 miles respectively.
Description
Sunset View is a substantial and attractive detached bungalow. It is thought to have been built in the 1930’s and is typical in design of the period. It is constructed of rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof and has a raised and covered veranda to the front and open porch to the rear.
Sunset View has spacious accommodation set either side of its central hallway. It currently has two reception rooms, cloakroom, four bedrooms and a generous kitchen/ dining room. In addition it has a bathroom with separate shower cubicle. The design of the property is such that it has a large attic which lends itself for conversion to create further accommodation.
Sunset View has lovely mature gardens and the plot extends to just over half an acre. It also has a useful detached garage and separate timber garden shed.
In addition it also has a permanent pasture paddock, with separate road access and the paddock extends to 6.38 acres making Lot 1 7 acres in all. Lot 2 is a further paddock of 5,59 acres and is available for purchase with Lot 1 or alternatively may be available separately.
Whilst Sunset View is a lovely property in its own right, it is considered that the Cotswold District Council’s replacement dwelling policy may allow for the existing dwelling to be demolished and replaced with a more contemporary house, all of which is subject to any necessary consents.
