An extended semi detached character cottage set well away from main road traffic in a hidden streamside location in the heart of Kings Stanley with three bedrooms, a 15′ sitting room, a super garden room extension, parking and a glorious garden.
A unique opportunity to buy a characterful semi detached house in a secret streamside spot in the heart of popular Kings Stanley. This location, at the very end of Willow Road, is set well away from passing traffic and is very private but is still convenient for the amenities of the village, with a lovely outlook over neighbouring fields to the side. The property was originally built using traditional methods from red brick under a pitched roof some two hundred years ago. It has been cleverly extended and renovated by the current owner, with well presented accommodation arranged over three floors.
A porch, 15’ sitting room with wood burning stove, kitchen, utility room, shower room and first class timber and glass built dining room/garden room with glazed door that open onto the garden are on the ground floor. A double bedroom, child's bedroom that might be used as a dressing room or study and a cloakroom/w.c are on the first floor, with another double bedroom at the top of the house. The house has a lovely feel to it and is tastefully decorated, and the windows enjoy a lovely outlook over the garden and the adjoining fields. A very special house, and a must for your viewing list.
The property benefits from a gated block paved drive and a delightful garden. There is parking for two cars, with a space for the adjoining property to turn. The garden is then to the front of the house. There is a gravelled area at the front with a raised bed with lavender, with a lawn area to the side and a paved area to the side of the house. The owners have built a pergola here, and it's a great spot to sit and enjoy the view over the neighbouring fields. The garden then stretches away at the front of the house. This borders a stream and the sound of running water is heard throughout the garden, enhancing the sense of peace and calm. There is a another level lawn area with a gravelled seating spot with a raised bed behind. A bridge leads over the water to a path that meanders up into the garden, crossing the stream again. There are mature fruit trees and fruit cages at the top of the garden, a greenhouse, a summer house by another gravelled seating area and a brick path that leads to a large shed that is used as a studio.
The village of Kings Stanley benefits from a range of amenities and two good schools with straight forward access to the motorway also close by.
