THIS CHARMING SEMI-DETACHED GRADE II LISTED HOME, BELIEVED TO DATE BACK TO 1815 IS A TRUE HIDDEN GEM. NOW IN NEED OF MODERNISATION, THE PROPERTY OCCUPIES A SOUGHT AFTER LOCATION ON THE EDGE OF RODBOROUGH COMMON.
Entrance porch, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Ground Floor Shower Room, 3 Bedrooms, Terraced Gardens, Views. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Description - This charming semi-detached Grade II Listed home, believed to date back to 1815 has been much loved by the same family for over 50 years. A true hidden gem, Zion Cottage offers untouched charm with a lovely history. Now in need of modernisation, the property sits on the slopes of Rodborough Common, neighbouring acres of National Trust Common land. Traditionally the cottage would have been two, if not three, separate dwellings that have been joined together to offer a welcoming environment with three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, terraced gardens and fabulous far-reaching views.
Within the property there are some fabulous features including a traditional stove, exposed Cotswold Stone, Beams, and some wooden flooring.
Terraced gardens are located to the front of the house with various seating areas from which to enjoy the view, interspersed with a variety of shrubs.
Zion Cottage sits on a quiet lane just below Rodborough Common, one of the three National Trust Commons in the area giving access to numerous excellent walks. The property is within striking distance of the popular Prince Albert pub on Rodborough Hill. For keen golfers, there are 3 golf courses in the area.
Stroud centre is also within easy reach where an award-winning Farmers' Market is held every Saturday. Recreational facilities include a leisure centre, and a main line railway station bringing London to within 90 minutes travelling time. The main centres of Cirencester, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bath, Bristol and Swindon are all easily accessible, as are the M4 and M5 motorways.
Directions - From our Stroud office, take the A46 Bath road out of town towards Nailsworth and after a short distance turn left up Rodborough Hill before The Clothiers Arms. Follow the road up the hill towards Rodborough Common and after the cattle grid take the turn right and right again taking the top lane (above Tabernacle Walk). Continue for a short distance where you will find a lay-by on the right hand side. Park here and walk down the footpath to the property.
Agent's Note - Access to the property is via a stepped private foot path which may be unsuitable for viewers with mobility issues.

About this agent
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.
