Description - Hyde Court comprises the west wing of a handsome Grade II listed country house offset by a lovely mature garden of approximately 0.7 acres. Behind the attractive facade is an interior rich in period detail with a particularly fine oak staircase. A comfortable house with a welcoming feel, the 'L' shaped entrance hall is panelled to dado height, part stone flagged with window seats and working shutters. Both reception rooms are well proportioned with fireplaces and views of different aspects of the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room lies between them and there is a ground floor cloakroom and a very accessible cellar which doubles as a utility room. There are four good sized bedrooms, the bathroom includes a shower cubicle and there is a separate cloakroom. A retractable ladder accesses a substantial loft space - largely boarded. The lovely garden is generally level, with some magnificent trees and very private. There is a garage with parking in front on the opposite side of the lane, with a sloping paddock beyond of just over an acre (overlooked by the house), which is fenced for livestock, has a field shelter and is currently grazed by the vendor's Alpacas.

Location - Hyde is a small hamlet immediately east of Minchinhampton and within walking distance of the town. Set high up on the slopes of the Chalford Valley it is delightfully tucked away with a rural feel, accessed by little country lanes. There are excellent road and rail links in the vicinity as well as good schools. London is normally within 2 hours by car and circa 90 minutes from nearby Stroud Station and access to the M5 motorway Junction 13 is very straightforward. Historic Minchinhampton with its famous Common is minutes away and has a general store, butcher, chemist, post office, doctor and dental practices, a thriving church and popular primary school. Beaudesert Park,Wycliffe College and Westonbirt Schools are all within easy reach and Stroud has both boys and girls grammar schools. There are numerous lovely walks in the vicinity, good hacks and two local golf clubs with three challenging courses. Both Nailsworth and Stroud have supermarkets, with a large Waitrose in Stroud plus a popular Saturday Farmer's Market. Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham are all within easy reach.

Directions - Hyde Court is most easily found by leaving our Minchinhampton office, heading up the High Street into Butt Street. Turn right at the crossroads onto Cirencester Road. Proceed towards Cirencester and shortly after crossing a cattle grid, take the first left, prior to the Ragged Cot pub. Follow this lane round a double bend into the valley and shortly after, turn left by a small grass triangle. Proceed for about 350 yards, then turn hard right back along the side of the valley and Hyde Court will be found on the left.

General Information - Hyde Court is Grade II listed and within an Official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property is subject to two Flying Freeholds in conjunction with its neighbour, believed to date from when the original building was sub-divided. Their locations are as illustrated on the floor plans. A mature Lime tree in the Paddock and a large Beech tree at the far end of the garden are subject to Tree Preservation Orders.
