Bownham Mead, Stroud

Description

A handsome detached house in a lovely position in this popular private road on Rodborough Common. This sought after address allows for easy access to good schools and the shops and amenities of both Minchinhampton and Nailsworth, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land on the doorstep at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof and has been owned by the same family since it was built. It has been extended, with good family accommodation arranged over two floors. An entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c, 18’ sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, side hall and useful utility room addition are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with landing, four bedrooms (one of which has been extended) and a bathroom on this floor. The property is available with no onward chain, and the windows at the rear of the property take in a pleasant view over the garden, with an outlook through the trees over the Golden Valley beyond.

Outside

The property benefits from large gardens, a double width drive and a double garage. The garden at the front of the house is laid to lawn, with a colourful planted border and a path leading to the house. The drive is to the front of the garage, with space to park several cars. The garage measures 17’1 x 16’6”, with two up and over doors, power and light. The majority of the garden is behind the house, with a paved terrace directly behind the house, with glazed double doors from the sitting room. Steps lead down from this area to another paved seating area and a large lawn, with steps leading down through the centre of the plot. The lower garden is dotted with mature trees and is planted in a woodland style. There is a gate in the dry stone wall at the bottom of the garden and this leads out to the lane behind, and National Trust common land beyond.
