An extended and well-proportioned three bedroom Cotswold stone property located towards the top of Whiteshill with two reception rooms, views, parking and lovely studio/cabin with water, power and light.
A delightful extended three bedroom Cotswold stone property dating back to 1824 that is situated on Upper Kitesnest towards the top of the village of Whiteshill a couple of miles North West of Stroud. Whiteshill is known for its friendly community and benefits from an established primary school, village pub, large park/playing field and a community ran village shop whilst allowing for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud.
The ground floor comprises an entrance porch/boot room, a 21’ sitting room with exposed stone wall, woodburner and two window seats, a fitted kitchen with range cooker and two window openings into the bright dining room with built in pantry cupboards, three Velux windows and access to the garden. There is a cellar which has power and light but its access is neatly disguised in the living room to assist the room with more day to day living. On the first floor is a landing, a dual aspect third bedroom with loft access and airing and storage cupboards, a stylish bathroom with roll top bath and reclaimed mid century vanity unit and a 12’ second bedroom. The top floor is home to a 14’ master bedroom with built in wardrobes, two windows and en-suite shower room. Windows to the front of the property enjoy a southerly aspect towards fields around Pitchcombe so is particularly enjoyed from the top bedroom. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing as well as character features throughout from the window seats and exposed stone to the woodburner and exposed wood. The current vendors have improved the property greatly over the years by replacing the windows, extending out to create the dining room, erecting the studio and installing the kitchen and bathroom.
The interior is complemented by having a good-size level garden accessed from the dining room or side access. The private garden is bordered with well-established trees/hedges and is mainly laid with lawn but benefits from a patio seating area, a summerhouse, ideal cabin/studio (with water, power and light) suitable for an array of working from home jobs, planted borders, a shed and a garage currently used as a workshop also with power and light. There is parking for two/three vehicles to the side of the property.
Whiteshill benefits from a community ran village shop, a well-established primary school, a church, a playing field, village pub and walks on the doorstep in all directions. 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 as well as. 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.
