Cottage with walled garden near Cirencester
An extremely well-presented cottage in the sought-after village of Ampney Crucis in Gloucestershire, is for sale with a walled garden and potential to extend

The Lodge is an attractive cottage lying just on the edge of Ampney Crucis in Gloucestershire. Grade II listed, the property is believed to date back to the 18th century and has a distinctive, and classic, front elevation. Subsequently extended in 1893 by the owners of Ampney Park, the hall still features the crest of the owners of the time, the Cripps.
Downstairs are two well-sized reception rooms: the sitting room has a fine stone fireplace with a woodburning stove and a window seat, while the light-filled kitchen is a practical, but also comfortable, space. Upstairs are three large bedrooms over two floors and a family bathroom.

Ampney Crucis is a very popular Cotswold village with a pub, church, primary school, cricket club and a village hall. Cirencester is just three miles, and Fairford and Lechlade are within easy reach.
