4 bed terraced house for sale

The Street, Kingscourt, Rodborough GL5

Hide Cottage is rather special. Originally a charming terraced cottage, the current owners were so happy living in this lovely location that when they needed more living space, they couldn't bring themselves to leave, and instead commissioned progressive local architect Millar Howard to help design and realize a first class family home. The resulting dwelling is nothing short of stunning, with a clever extension at the back of the property that essentially doubles the amount of accommodation on offer whilst staying true to the origins of the building. After many happy years the owners are now downsizing, and offer the property to the market for one lucky buyer.

Upon viewing it is immediately obvious why the current occupants were so keen to stay on and extend. The Street really is the quintessential Cotswold street scene, with character properties nestled into the hillside looking out over the valley to the countryside beyond. There is a good pub at the end of the lane, and a well regarded primary school just up the hill, with the shops and amenities of Stroud within comfortable driving distance. The property they have created works sympathetically with the lay of the land, with characterful, beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors. A porch and super 22' kitchen/dining room, with plenty of space to cook, eat, entertain and relax are on the ground floor. A side hall, cosy sitting room with fireplace, double bedroom and beautiful bathroom are above, on the first floor, with three further bedrooms and a shower room are at the top of the house, on the second floor. The whole house is tastefully decorated and furnished, and the windows at the front make the most of the excellent outlook.

The property benefits from parking and a terraced garden. The main garden is at the rear, a well designed terraced space that stretches up away from the house. With extensive views across the valley. The terrace closest to the house has raised vegetable beds, with a level lawn above. The top level is a great sitting spot, a perfect place for outdoor entertaining, or to enjoy the peace and quiet. Steps then lead up again, past a chicken coop to the parking area for two cars just off the lane. There is also a pretty terrace at the front of the property, you can walk out from the kitchen/dining room to sit here.

The property is in a superb location at Kingscourt, Rodborough. Amenities available within the vicinity include the well regarded Gastrells School and the Kings Head public house, with some 600 acres of National Trust land at Rodborough and Minchinhampton Commons found behind the property. A wider range of facilities are available in nearby Stroud approximately 2 miles distant to include an excellent range of state and private schools, restaurants and public houses, an award winning weekly farmers market, leisure and sports centre and also a main line railway station with intercity services connecting with London (Paddington). Gloucester (8 miles), Cheltenham (12 miles) Cirencester (15 miles) and Bristol (20 miles) and respectively Junction 13 (M5 motorway) is also within easy driving distance.
