A well presented detached Cotswold stone property in an elevated position below National Trust common land with two reception rooms, three/four bedrooms, parking for three vehicles and a garden with a raised terrace with a lovely view over the valley.
Glenview is a well presented detached cottage in an elevated position at popular Brimscombe. This location allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of both Stroud and Nailsworth with hundreds of acres on National Trust land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has been the subject of improvement recently, with accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, dining room with wood burning stove, kitchen with re-fitted units and a sitting room with open fireplace are on the ground floor. A landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor, with two further rooms at the top of the house, on the second floor. These rooms currently connect, but a prospective buyer may look to build a partition here, to create two separate bedrooms. The house is tastefully decorated, and has real character, and the view from the windows at the front enjoy a super outlook over the road into the valley beyond.
The property benefits from parking, a level garden and two connecting timber terraces at the rear of the plot. The parking is to the side, with space to park three vehicles, and a gated access that leads to the front door. There is also a gated path at the front of the house, with two small lawned areas to either side. The majority of the garden is to the side of the property. This area is lawned, with a gravelled seating area, with planting around it. A path leads to the back of the house, and a timber build workshop has been cleverly sited here, built on to the back of the property. Steps them lead up to the rear terrace. Two decked areas connect here, and the larger of the two has been positioned to take full advantage of the afternoon sun and the lovely view across the valley opposite.
The property is within the parish of Burleigh. This popular area has Minchinhampton Common at the top of the hill and this offers hundreds of acres of land vested in the National Trust which can be used for recreational use, a golf course and two great pubs. The closest amenities are at the bottom of the hill at Brimscombe Corner which include a post office and general store, with two good primary schools close at hand. More extensive facilities are available in Nailsworth and Stroud which are both within three miles. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (2 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line servicesto Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
