3 bed detached house for sale

Quarhouse, Stroud GL5

Thumpers Cottage is a beautifully renovated 18th-century Cotswold stone cottage.

Set in a wonderful, elevated, semi-rural position with sweeping views across the Golden Valley and surrounding countryside, this extended Cotswold stone cottage is believed to date back to the 1700s. The home effortlessly marries historical character and period charm with stylish, contemporary living.

Stepping through the entrance porch, you are welcomed into a charming dining room. Both this space and the adjacent sitting room belong to the original footprint of the cottage, each showcasing stunning exposed Cotswold stone fireplaces that bring a real sense of heritage and warmth to the home.

Thoughtful extensions at both ends of the property have vastly improved the living space and flow. To one side, a striking single-storey addition provides a spectacular drawing room complete with a vaulted ceiling, an impressive backdrop for entertaining or relaxing. To the other side, a two-storey extension hosts a bright, sociable kitchen and breakfast room, which offers direct access to the picturesque side courtyard and gardens. The entire ground floor boasts solid oak flooring and underfloor heating.

From the dining room, stairs lead up to a wonderfully bright landing, featuring French doors that open straight out onto the rear garden. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and a fitted solid oak wardrobe. Two additional bedrooms (one also offering built-in storage) are served by a modern family bathroom. Notably, every room on this upper floor captures magnificent, far-reaching countryside views.

The property is fully serviced by gas central heating and a recently verified, compliant septic tank drainage system.

Freshly redecorated throughout, this exceptional home offers an idyllic lifestyle, perfectly balancing period authenticity with modern convenience in an enviable valley setting.
