A unique opportunity to purchase a substantial detached gabled house for renovation in an unrivalled position at Pinfarthings, Amberley, with four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a stone built garage/studio outbuilding and glorious gardens with view into the valley beyond
An imposing detached gabled house situated in a superb position at sought after Pinfarthings, Amberley. This quiet location is set just below hundreds of acres of National trust common land, and benefits from a first class outlook over the garden to countryside beyond, with the shops and amenities of both Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within easy reach. The property was originally built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone. It has been the subject of comprehensive extension on the past and is now a spacious, substantial family house. It is in need of renovation, but offers prospective buyers a unique opportunity to refurbish an excellent family home to their own standards, with accommodation is arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, 23’ sitting room, 13’ dining room, 20' kitchen/breakfast room, rear hall, study and cloakroom/W.c are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the entrance hall, with a landing, three bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room on this level, with another bedroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. There is c.2200 sq.ft of accomodation in total, and every window at the front benefits from the super outlook.
The spacious interior is completmented by the most wonderful gardens, parking and a detached stone built outbuilding with garage, store, and studio room. The latter is to the west side of the property, with the parking spaces beyond, and a smaller space by the garage door. The gardens are at the front of the house, and as such make the very most of the lovely aspect and long view over the valley beyond. The grounds are really rather special, and have clearly been a real labour of love. There is a paved terrace by the house, and this is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the sun and the view over the garden. There is a potting shed, tool shed and a greenhouse to the east of the house, with a level lawn to the west. Steps then lead down into the plot. This large area is beautifully kept and planted, with a productive allotment patch and several lawned areas that connect, all edged by well stocked borders that are full of established, mature planting. There is a rill that runs through the lower garden on the west side, and the lower garden has more of a wild, meadow feel.
The property is located in a superb location at Pinfarthings, Amberley. This sought after spot faces south, and is set just below hundreds of acres of National Trust common land, with the shops and amenities of both Nailsworth and Minchinhampton close by. There are two good primary schools (Minchinhampton and Amberley) within easy reach, and the renowned Beudesert Park private school is just along the lane. A wider range of amenities and two great grammar schools are available at nearby Stroud, as is a main line railway service to London Paddington (90 minutes). Motorway junctions of the M4 and M5 are within easy reach.
