Cirencester Road, South Cerney

Set within a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, this detached four bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special. Positioned just outside the ever-popular village of South Cerney, the property combines peaceful surroundings with outstanding potential for extension, redevelopment or simply enjoying the space on offer.

This is very much a home that invites imagination. While perfectly habitable as it stands, it would benefit from modernisation throughout, giving buyers the chance to update and design a home to suit their own style and needs.

From the outside, the property sits comfortably within its plot, surrounded by expansive gardens that immediately set it apart. There is a sense of space and privacy here that is increasingly hard to find.

Internally, the layout is well-balanced and all on one level. A central entrance hall connects the home, leading through to a particularly generous sitting room measuring over 23ft in length. This is a bright and versatile space with plenty of room for both relaxing and dining, and it enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden.

The kitchen sits to the rear and offers a good footprint, with direct access outside. There is clear scope here to open things up or extend, subject to the necessary permissions, to create a contemporary kitchen/dining space that connects seamlessly with the garden.

The bungalow offers four bedrooms in total. Three are comfortable doubles, while the fourth would work well as a single bedroom, home office or hobby room. A family bathroom and separate utility area add to the practicality of the layout.

Stepping outside is where this property really comes into its own. The grounds extend to approximately 0.4 acres, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and established boundaries creating a private and peaceful setting. For families, it’s a dream—space for children to play, explore and enjoy the outdoors. For others, it offers endless possibilities, whether that’s landscaping, creating entertaining areas, or even extending the property significantly.

There is also a detached garage and a substantial outbuilding/shed, providing excellent storage or workshop space.

This is a property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. For families, it’s the chance to create a long-term home with space both inside and out. For those looking to downsize, it offers single-storey living without sacrificing garden or privacy. And for buyers with vision, the plot presents exciting opportunities to extend or reconfigure, subject to planning.

South Cerney is a highly regarded village set within the Cotswold Lakes, known for its strong community feel and access to beautiful surroundings. The village offers a range of everyday amenities, including two shops, three pubs, two cafes, takeaways, a doctor’s surgery and a pharmacy. There are also sports clubs, a village hall and a variety of local events throughout the year.

The Cotswold Lakes are right on the doorstep, offering a wealth of outdoor activities including walking, cycling and water sports, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy an active lifestyle.

For schooling, South Cerney Primary School is within easy reach, with Cirencester Deer Park and Kingshill schools providing secondary education nearby. The wider area also offers a selection of well-regarded independent schools, including Hatherop Castle, Westonbirt School, Cheltenham College, Dean Close and Kings of Gloucester.  All the Gloucesterhire grammar schools have bus transport from the local area.

The location also works well for commuters. Cirencester is just a short drive away, while Swindon is approximately 20 minutes by car and offers a mainline railway station with direct services to London Paddington in under an hour. Kemble station provides an additional rail option closer to home, and the A419 and A417 offer excellent road links to Cheltenham, Oxford and the M4 corridor.

Opportunities like this are increasingly rare—a detached bungalow on a substantial plot in such a desirable location, with the scope to create something truly individual.
