A characterful attached Cotswold stone home overlooking the village playing field in popular Kings Stanley with two reception rooms, a 22’ kitchen/breakfast room, three good bedrooms, parking and garden with an office
Arundel is a well presented attached character home situated in a good position overlooking the village playing field on the edge of Kings Stanley. We understand that the property was built around 1783, using stone quarried from the Selsley Hill quarry, just up the hill, and was originally a row of three houses known as Broad Street Cottages. The property to the right was demolished, to provide space to build the Methodist chapel, and the remaining two cottages were combined to make the property known as Arundel today.
The current owners have made a comfortable, characterful home here, with accommodation arranged over three floors. A porch, 16’ sitting room with Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, 16’ sitting room and 22’ kitchen/dining room with stable door out on to the garden are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the sitting room to the first floor, with a landing, two double bedrooms and a light, airy bathroom on this level. The principal bedroom is at the top of the house, on the second floor. This room has an en suite shower room and whilst it works beautifully as a large double bedroom, there is space to partition this room to create two separate rooms, turning the house into a four bedroom home. A welcoming, interesting property, and one we’d advise arranging to view at your next opportunity.
Arundel benefits from parking, and a pretty garden with an office. The gravelled parking area is at the front, with space for two cars, and this is edged with established borders. The garden is at the rear, with a level lawn by the kitchen, with raised borders behind, and a pretty brick paviour path leading up to the top garden. This area is gravelled, with a shed, and the timber built office. This space has power, light and a wired ethernet point.
The village of Kings Stanley benefits from a range of amenities and two good schools with straight forward access to the motorway also closeby. Stonehouse is approximately a mile distant and offers a good range of shops and amenities within its level High Street with primary and secondary schools also within the vicinity. Stonehouse railway station offers a direct line to London (Paddington). Junction 13 of the M5 motorway is approximately two miles distant with a wider range of shops available in the towns of Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
