A family house set in a sought after Cotswold village
with pubs and a primary school.
Description
Farm Hill House is a 18th century village house built of Cotswold stone under a stone tiled roof. From its elevated site there is an enchanting view across the village. The mainly walled garden with a flagstone terrace, adjoins farmland on one side and is particularly private. The lawn to the front of the house is edged with a mature shrub border and at the end there are steps down to a sunken garden area with a spring fed pond. A wide variety of mature trees create additional privacy and there is gravelled parking to the front of the house and adjacent to The Little Green House. This is a self contained rustic cabin which is capable of fulfilling a number of different requirements. At present it is used for Airbnb holiday lets but could be used as a home office, workshop, studio or for additional guest accommodation.
The house itself provides excellent family accommodation and retains its original character particularly with the exposed timbers. The layout includes three well proportioned reception rooms, all of which face the front garden with two having French doors. The drawing room and inter-connecting dining room both have fireplaces. The kitchen with an Everhot cooker includes a breakfast area and adjacent is a utility/boot room, cloakroom and the side door. On the first floor and approached off the landings are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. A separate staircase leads up to a further double bedroom and bathroom. The versatility of the property enables the property to be used in different ways and a self contained wing could be provided in the wing.
The previously mentioned cabin provides for a studio room with kitchen area, a separate wc and shower room. Outside there is a wooden decking, sitting out area which is out of view of the house.
The property extends to about half an acre.
Location
The property is situated on the fringe of Avening, a sought after Cotswold village which nestles in the valleys between Tetbury, Nailsworth and Minchinhampton. Thee village supports two public houses, a village hall, a good primary school and a Grade l Listed parish church which dates back to the late 11th century. The surrounding countryside of rolling farmland, steep sided valleys and woods remains very unspoilt and is officially recognised as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Nearby Nailsworth and Tetbury offer an excellent range of shops and services to cater for all everyday needs. William’s Food Hall & Oyster Bar in Nailsworth is a multi-award winning delicatessen as is Hobbs House Bakery. Stroud Farmers Market is also well known and is one of the largest in the country. Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham each have a wide-range of speciality shops as well as theatres, restaurants and cultural amenities.
Gloucestershire is noted for its schools, both state run and private. Of the former there is Sir William Romney’s School in Tetbury, as well as The Marling and Stroud High in Stroud. In the private sector there is Beaudesert Park, a highly regarded pre and preparatory school on Minchinhampton Common, Wycliffe College at Stonehouse, Westonbirt School as well as the schools and colleges in Cheltenham.
