4 bedroom detached house for sale

Council tax band: E

Understood to date back to the late 18th century Orchard Cottage retains a great deal of character charm to include exposed beams and stonework. The property sits in a generous plot with attractive wrap around gardens, a block paved driveway and a double garage. Much improved by the current owners, the property is well-presented throughout and has been extended to also offer a very well-equipped, linked one-bedroom annexe.

The property is entered via a good-size boot-room/utility which offers ample storage and links to the cloakroom/WC. The boot-room leads into the kitchen/dining room which is a wonderfully sociable space with an extensive range of good-quality units, a large island, solid wooden worksurfaces and a ceramic sink and drainer. The dining room is open to the kitchen and has plenty of space for entertaining and stairs leading to the first floor. A door connects the main house to the annexe from the dining room.

The sitting room joins the dining room, and is a large yet cosy room with exposed beams and a cast-iron gas stove, while the adjoining garden/family room is a wonderfully light and bright addition with doors leading onto the garden and a Villager log-burning stove as a stunning focal point.

Upstairs the generous master bedroom has wonderful views, fitted wardrobes and a good-size en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a pleasant dual aspect and a wash hand basin, while the neighbouring landing space would serve well as an office space. The family bathroom is a good-size and has a corner bath as well as a shower cubicle, and the third bedroom is a quirky shape with ample space for two single beds along with a vanity unit and sink.

The annexe, added approximately 13 years ago is beautifully presented and can be integrated into the home, or used independently, for multi-generational living or to generate an income. The annexe offers a contemporary shower room, a generous double bedroom with lots of built-in wardrobe space, a dual aspect sitting room with a lovely outlook and French doors onto the garden, alongside a very well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and lots of storage space.

Outside the gardens are delightful with a large lawn, beautifully planted borders, specimen trees and shrubs and several thoughtfully positioned patio areas from which to enjoy sunshine throughout the day. To the side there are raised vegetable beds, and a further area of patio which can be enjoyed from the annexe, a green house and the wonderful detached garage which has overhead storage.

Positioned on a peaceful cul-de-sac off of The Quarry, and set away from the main 'through roads', the property has the benefit of being both secluded and conveniently positioned for the local amenities. These include a post office, a popular cafe, a hardware store, a public house, a hairdresser and various take-away food establishments, in addition to Tesco supermarket. The nearby market town of Dursley located on the Cotswold Way offers an array of convenient shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. Both Cam Everlands and Cam Hopton Primary schools are well-regarded and within easy reach, and popular Rednock secondary school is conveniently positioned less than 1 mile away.

For those needing to commute, Cam and Dursley train station less than a 10 minute drive away provides commuter links to Bristol and Birmingham, and junctions of the M4 and M5 are within easy reach.
