THE COTTAGE HOUNDSCROFT GLOUCESTERSHIRE
THE COTTAGE, HOUNDSCROFT, STROUD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. GL5 5DQ
A VERY SPECIAL DETACHED PERIOD COTTAGE WITH A DELIGHTFUL QUIRKY INTERIOR, PANORAMIC WESTERLY VIEWS AND AN EXCEPTIONAL GARDEN Front Porch, Inner Hall, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Conservatory, Kitchen, 3 Bedrooms, Bathroom and 2 Shower Rooms, Garage and Parking, Stone Outbuilding, Landscaped Garden
PRICE: £650,000 DIRECTIONS. From our Minchinhampton Office proceed up the Market Place straight over into Butt Street and continue to the junction with the main road at the common. Turn left here towards Stroud, continue straight on at the four way junction on the common and as the road starts to descend the hill thereafter, turn left immediately after The Bear of Rodborough Hotel and sharp left again, back along the side of the common. The Cottage will be found on the right hand side of this lane after about 200 yards indicated by our ‘For Sale’ board. LOCATION. The Cottage is situated in Houndscroft at the northern end of the parish of Amberley, close to Rodborough Common. Amberley is widely regarded as being amongst the most desirable places in which to live in the Stroud Valleys because of its elevated westerly aspect and superb views over the Woodchester Valley, both characteristics that The Cottage shares in full. The village has a shop/post office, excellent primary school and a thriving church and is almost equidistant from Nailsworth and Stroud; the two main market towns in the vicinity. The former has free parking and an excellent choice of independent retailers including the renowned delicatessen William’s Kitchen, the latter a Waitrose superstore and two further supermarkets as well as a mainline station with trains scheduled into London Paddington from 95 minutes. The Cottage is immediately accessible to Rodborough Common, which together with the adjacent Minchinhampton Common comprises over 600 acres of open countryside available for anyone to enjoy. There are also three challenging golf courses nearby, some excellent pubs to explore, Bath, Cheltenham or Cirencester are very accessible and London about 2 hours by road, for the weekend.
Motorway M5 J13 Stroud - 5 miles, Motorway M4 J15 Swindon - 30 miles, Motorway M4 J18 Old Sodbury (Bath/Bristol) - 17 miles, Stroud Railway Station 3.5 miles, Cheltenham (central) - 17 miles, Bristol Airport - 40 miles. Distances are approximate.
DESCRIPTION. Originally The Cottage is believed to have been a local brew house, so it has a long history. During those years the size and shape have changed dramatically, making it delightfully quirky and full of character. The essence of the property is however its westerly views which are spectacular, on a fine day you can see for miles. Outside, the cottage is offset by its spectacular garden much of which, the vendor was informed, had originally been laid out by an expert from Kew Gardens. Steps lead down to the front door to a porch and an inner hall off which are the sitting room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room and a bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a shower room and there is an additional study/occasional bedroom on the top floor. The remaining accommodation is on the lower ground floor comprising a wine store and a further bedroom with wet room en-suite. The Cottage has a garage with space to park a second car in front of it and a useful small stone built two-storey cottage outbuilding adjacent to the lane with a further parking space in front of it. The garden is spectacularly colourful in the spring and autumn. Like the cottage it is on several levels and it includes a 'kitchen garden', fruit cages, greenhouse and outbuildings.
