Vendors' thoughts: “The house is in a fabulous location tucked away at the back of Top Farm and is a short walk to the train station, school, pub and shop. We love being in the countryside with walks on our doorstep yet still only a few minutes drive to Cirencester. The house is light and warm, the underfloor heating being really cosy in the colder months. Kemble is a lovely village with a strong community and we will miss it.”
In a nutshell: A superb contemporary family home with fantastic travel links on the doorstep!
Property Description
36 Top Farm is a fantastic contemporary home, part of the prestigious development completed by Bovis Homes in late 2016/early 2017, and is superbly located in the heart of Kemble close to local amenities. Bright and light throughout, careful thought has been put into creating welcoming spaces and plenty of discreet storage.
The kitchen/ dining room, with access to the garden, is clearly the heart of the house and a fabulous room in which to entertain family and friends. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of modern appliances and has plenty of worktop and storage space. The kitchen island is ideal for morning chats over coffee and catching up whilst cooking up a feast in the evenings. The sitting room and family room are superb reception rooms and have direct access to the garden. They are well designed and fabulous for entertaining and equally perfect for relaxing moments in front of a good movie or putting your feet up with a gripping book. The family room currently works well as a playroom for younger children but could also make a wonderful dining room. The study is an ideal home office.
Upstairs, the beautiful galleried landing is a stunning feature of the house and really showcases the feeling of space and light. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The rooms are well proportioned and are bright and light with views over the garden and the neighbourhood.
Outside, the enclosed landscaped garden is predominantly laid to lawn with colourful herbaceous borders and delightful seating areas. There is plenty of space for children to enjoy the garden and the terrace is a great spot in which to relax for a BBQ with family and friends and enjoy al fresco dining in the summer. There is off-road parking to the front of the house alongside the double garage.
