7 bed detached house to rent

Box Lodge, Balls Green, Minchinhampton GL6

Hidden away at the end of a no-through lane, Box Lodge offers an impressive family home, circa 4,500 sq ft, in a spectacular location. Wrought iron electric gates encased by handsome pillars set the tone to this substantial home which is both welcoming and stylish in equal measure.
The property opens to a spacious reception hall, with the two main receptions leading off. The drawing room is a superb 'statement' room for hosting. A vaulted ceiling with handsome oak beams allows for plentiful natural light and a Juliet balcony opens to views of the garden and woodland beyond. A raised open fire creates the perfect cosy up for the colder months. A spacious minstrels gallery overlooks the drawing room, ideal as a home office.
The sitting room is part of the original period lodge offering a charming second reception with wood burning stove, aged beams, wooden flooring and stone mullion windows. A third reception/family room, is located on the lower level.
The kitchen/dining room is also located on the lower level. Contemporary units provide ample storage and there is room for a large dining table. Sliding doors open to a large raised terrace ideal for alfresco hosting and with stunning views over the garden and valley beyond. A good-sized laundry plus a garden room (currently used as a gym), together with a shower room are also located at this level.
Seven bedrooms are located across the ground and first floor with four ground floor bedrooms plus a family bathroom and three first floor bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room plus a separate family shower room. A spacious terrace leads off the principal bedroom, offering an idyllic spot for an alfresco breakfast or a night cap whilst watching the sun go down.
Box Lodge is enveloped by its own grounds. An insulated detached garage includes a games room/home office with a woodburning stove.
