Description - Frocester Cottage is far from it's 'cottage' title with fabulously light and airy spacious rooms and flexible family space . Backing on to open fields, this handsome detached residence offers five reception rooms, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Upon initial approach, it is clear that you are in for a treat once you enter the sweeping driveway with landscaped rockeries surrounding a sunken spring fed pond.

Entry to the property is via porch/boot room leading to 5 reception rooms including a dining room, games room, study, library and sitting room, together with the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, ground floor shower room and conservatory opening out to the gardens. A cellar is accessed from the main hallway. On the first floor there are 5 double bedrooms, each with their own lovely view. The master bedroom offers an en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom and shower room service the other four bedrooms. Having been in the same hands for some 24 years, Frocester Cottage is the ideal home just waiting for the next generation. The property benefits from gated parking for an array of vehicles together with a detached double garage. Backing on to open-countryside with the most fabulous views are gardens to offer any gardener sheer delight. The extensive level gardens are interspersed with established trees and shrubs including a most magnificent lavender bed surrounding the sheltered entertaining area. An avenue style walk way is flanked by wonderful floral arrangements whilst to the rear of the garage you will find a kitchen garden, greenhouse and Dutch barn style storage shed.

Directions - From our Stroud Office proceed towards the M5 motorway. At the roundabout immediately preceding Junction 13 of the M5, turn left for Eastington and in the village itself, turn left again towards Frocester. On entering Frocester turn left to Leonard Stanley (by the The Frocester George pub) and shortly thereafter the turning to Frocester Cottage can be found by turning in to the second driveway on the right hand side.

Agents Note - A public footpath screened off by hedging runs to the side of Frocester Cottage.

Location - Frocester is situated in the south-west of the Cotswolds and is a traditional village with a pub, farm shop and thriving cricket club; it is surrounded by dramatic countryside, which is a lovely source of walks. The principal attraction of Frocester however, is its location; accessible to the M5 Motorway, main line railway stations and a choice of good schools both in the state and private sectors. Junction 13 of the M5 (Stroud), is less than 10 minutes drive away, and there are regular train services into London Paddington from Stonehouse or Bristol from Cam/Dursley Station, both nearby. Popular schools within reach include Beaudesert Park, Wycliffe College, Westonbirt, Stroud High and Marling, Sir Thomas Rich's and Kings in Gloucester, amongst others. Locally there is a general store in the next village while Stroud has Waitrose, Tescos and Sainsbury's supermarkets, as well as its award winning Farmers' Market on Saturdays.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Stroud is the regional and administrative centre for the south-west of the Cotswolds and the Severn Vale with excellent road and rail links to the rest of the country. Surrounded by exceptionally varied countryside, Stroud lies at the confluence of five valleys, each with its own distinct character. The town owed its prosperity to the wool trade initially (including supplying cloth for uniforms to both sides in the Napoleonic Wars), more recently it has developed a reputation as a popular centre for the arts and local culture within the Cotswolds. The town has a mainline railway station with ample parking in the vicinity (London Paddington from 95 minutes) and connections to Swindon, Cheltenham and Gloucester. Junction 13 of the M5 motorway for accessing Bristol, the south-west or the Midlands is only miles to the east and there are three international airports little over an hour's drive away (Bristol, Birmingham or Cardiff). Stroud is particularly fortunate in having quite excellent schools for all ages within its vicinity, including Stroud High and Marling in the state sector and Beaudesert Park and Wycliffe College amongst others. It is also a major centre for employment and has a modern college. Murrays Stroud Office serves the town, adjacent villages and down onto the Severn Vale to the west. It works closely with its sister offices at Painswick and at Minchinhampton and The Mayfair Office in central London.
