Ampney Crucis is a quintessential village located a few miles outside of the
market town of Cirencester, commonly known as the capital of the Cotswolds.
Residents are attracted by the unspoilt nature of the village with plentiful
character properties, quiet lifestyle, countryside walks on your doorstep and
a very well regarded primary school.
The Ridge is a charming Grade II listed detached Cotswold stone cottage
believed to originate from the 17th Century and has been extended over the
years with extensive renovations by the current owners during their 15 year
tenure.
To the front is an ornate wrought iron gate puncturing the Cotswold stone wall
leading to the front courtyard area. A beautiful Oak door brings you into the
entrance porch before you arrive at the cosy lounge with a magnificent
inglenook fireplace housing a log burner, perfect to keep you warm on a chilly
autumnal day. Off to the left is a secondary dual aspect vaulted ceiling
reception room which is ideal for use as a study, hobby room or a place to
relax with a good book taking in the garden view.
Back across the living room, you will find a dining area to the rear with
French doors leading out to the garden. A further door leads to the inner
hallway with the stairs winding up to the upper floors with a downstairs
cloakroom underneath, featuring a WC and plumbing for a washing machine. The
kitchen sits at the front of the house with plenty of cupboards and granite
worktops with light flooding through the dual aspect stone mullion windows.
There is space for a table comfortably seating 6 for everyday casual dining
and there is a fitted electric oven, electric hob, fridge, freezer and
dishwasher.
Heading up to the first floor you can take in the picturesque view of the
garden before you reach the landing where there is a separate WC, shower room
and bedroom three looking out the front. The room will take a double bed,
freestanding furniture and has a charming window seat. The master bedroom is a
wonderful dual aspect space with built in cupboard and space for further
freestanding units. The original stair case winds down from here into the
living room below.
On the second floor is access to eaves storage and a further double bedroom
with its own full size ensuite bathroom with WC, bath with shower over and an
airing cupboard.
Outside, the gardens extend to around 0. 25 acres are a secluded space and well
sheltered from neighbouring properties. There is a stone summer house packed
with character and is a perfect spot to shelter from the rain during summer
BBQs, ideal as a home office or studio or a really fun place to host dinner
parties. There is a garden shed, vegetable growing area, plenty of flower beds
and a pond with a rill. Parking is available for a few cars on the gravelled
driveway which is privately owned by The Ridge and gives right of way access
to the neighbour at Ridge Barn.
