A beautifully presented mid terrace cottage situated in an elevated rural position at popular Hyde. This location, on the outskirts of Minchinhampton, allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of the market town with great countryside walks on the doorstep. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a stone tiled roof with character accommodation arranged over three floors. A lovely entrance porch leading into a 16’ sitting/dining room with wood burning stove, a useful inner hall with built-in bespoke cupboard and a stunning newly fitted kitchen. A staircase leads up from the sitting room to a landing, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on this level, with another bedroom with eaves storage on the second floor with the access for this through the second bedroom. The cottage is tastefully presented, with high quality fittings such as oak window sills and floors found throughout, and every window enjoys a lovely outlook.
There is a small garden to the front and the property benefits from lovely rear garden that is larger than one might expect and bigger than usual for properties of this size.
This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well regarded primary school and a stylish CAMRA award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. There are breath-taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free-roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 Miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London.
