A beautifully presented semi detached Cotswold stone property close to the centre of ever popular Minchinhampton with two double bedrooms, a landing/study space, parking, courtyard garden and a real feeling of style and character
5 Windmill Road is a semi detached character property in a popular road on the edge of lovely Minchinhampton. This location is very much part of the thriving local community and allows for easy access to local amenities and the well regarded school with hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the road at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has clearly been the subject of comprehensive renovation, with beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors.
A kitchen with contemporary fittings and 14’ sitting/dining room are on the ground floor. A large landing, with space for a study/work from home space, 14’ double bedroom and stylish bathroom are on the first floor, with another double bedroom with vaulted ceiling at the top of the house. Character features have been retained and are highlighted by tasteful décor and it’s immediately clear that current owners have taken real care over the presentation of the property. Available with no onward chain, and a must for your viewing list!
The interior is complemented by a level area at the front of the house. This is gated, and is really flexible. The current owners use the first part of this space for parking, with a large planter then partitioning a pretty courtyard garden by the front door. A prospective may use the space in the same way, but could divide the space as they wish, creating more parking or more garden, depending on their preference.
This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well-regarded primary school and a stylish CAMRA award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. There are breath-taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free-roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 Miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London.
