Description - Grade II listed, Amberley Farmhouse is very well presented by the vendors who have been careful not to compromise its inherent character by radically changing the original layout of the interior. Instead they have worked with the 'grain' of the building and by the clever use of natural colours made it feel light and cheerful. The result is an exceptional home merging period charm (Inglenook fireplace, exposed beams etc), with top of the range fixtures and fittings. On the ground floor, the house circulates around a central core. Across the front are the drawing room, sitting room and morning room. At the rear are the kitchen (with Aga), dining room, garden room, cloakroom and utility room. There is a spacious master bedroom suite, three further bedrooms, all en-suite and second floor sitting room/bedroom five spread over the first and second floors. Amberley Farmhouse has a lovely garden and is set in a clearing of approx 1.5 acres, on the far side of which it has a detached cottage, (in need of investment). This has three rooms plus a kitchen and bathroom and would make a great home office/staff/guest accommodation. At the head of the drive is a garage with a lower ground floor store room and a separate, timber framed, garage/workshop.

Location - Amberley Farmhouse is located in a secluded woodland glade at the head of a no through lane, adjacent to National Trust Common land. The setting is really quite magical, at one with nature yet conveniently close to all the amenities this popular location has to offer. These include easy access to the Common itself - a glorious expanse of natural countryside, Amberley's popular primary school and its two pubs. Nailsworth, immediately down the hill, is a thriving market town with a wide range of independent retailers including William's Kitchen (an outstanding delicatessan), while Stroud is only a few more minutes away, with a major Waitrose and three other supermarkets. From Stroud and Kemble's main line stations there are regular train services into London Paddington (from 90 minutes), while by road it is normally under 2 hours and less than an hour into Bristol. The Farmhouse is close to Beaudesert Pre and Prep School, one of many good schools accessible from here including Stroud High and Marling, both grammar schools. For golfers there is the Old Course on the Common and Minchinhampton Golf Club with two further championship standard courses, just the other side of Minchinhampton.
