A recently improved detached character cottage set in a lovely country lane location at Old Bussage with two double bedrooms, parking, a private garden and a super view across the valley offered to the market with no onward chain.
Glen Cottage is a charming character property set in a quiet spot in Old Bussage. This elevated location, to the east of Stroud, allows for a great view across the valley from the garden with country walks on the doorstep. The cottage has recently been updated by the owner and is currently a successful air BnB property, and so is available with no onward chain with characterful accommodation arranged over two floors. This comprises an entrance hall, 15' sitting room with fireplace and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, two double bedrooms (one with a mezzanine platform over) and a bathroom on this level. The property has been tastefully redecorated, and every window enjoys a pleasant, 'green' view.
The property benefits from a parking area and a private, sunny garden. The parking space is by the front door, and there is space here to park two smaller vehicles side by side, as shown in the listing. Steps then lead up to the garden, which is to the front of the house. This pretty area is landscaped, with a level lawned area and a pathway leading to a wooden clad seating area. The top terrace offers a shed and the perfect sitting spot to take in the views across the valley to fields and open countryside.
The property is located in Old Bussage. It, along with the neighbouring villages of Chalford, Brownshill and Eastcombe, enjoys a bustling village community, with established primary and secondary schools, three Cotswold pubs, GP surgery, pharmacy, a post office and shops in the area. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
