LOCATION

The Cedars is situated on Mouse Trap Lane, just off Lansdowne on the western end of the High Street and very conveniently located for access to all the village amenities and just a short distance from the village green and River Windrush. Bourton provides an excellent range of local facilities including a range of boutique shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, doctors, churches, a leisure centre, local primary school and the popular Cotswold Secondary school. The area's larger commercial and cultural centres of Cheltenham, Cirencester and Oxford are within easy travelling distance and there are main line rail services at Kingham (8 miles) (Paddington 80mins approx) and a comprehensive local bus network radiating from Bourton. The village is set in the heart of the Cotswold Hills which provide outdoor rural leisure pursuits.

DESCRIPTION

The Cedars comprises a surprisingly substantial detached family home constructed in the 1960's by the current Vendor's family of reconstituted stone elevations under a part-pitched and part-flat roof and with subsequent extensions and alterations. The property offers significant potential for further extension and alteration if desired (subject to any necessary consents) and occupies an extremely private and sought after central location at the end of a private road and yet close to all of the village amenities.
