Description - The Coach House is a charming country house in a magnificent tucked away location on Minchinhampton Common. Offering a plethora of period features, the former Coach House and stables is believed to date back to 1880. Accessed via a sweeping driveway and enveloped by a quintessential English country garden, the approach to the house is both impressive and elegant. A spacious reception hall provides ample room for muddy boots and coats following a hearty walk on the common, together with a large pantry which would convert well to a spacious utility room. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home. Terracotta tiles create a sense of warmth, cream coloured shaker units provide ample storage and a stylish red Aga adds a splash of colour. The piece de resistance of the home has to be its magnificent garden room; overlooking the landscaped gardens and with tall windows to the drawing room behind, this light-filled room adorned with vines in the summer months, is believed to have been the original coach house. The reception rooms have lovely high ceilings with a stylish Stovax log burner creating a warming focal point in the main drawing room. Original period glass doors open from the drawing room to the garden room, providing additional entertaining space. A good-sized dining room provides further entertaining space, together with a second sitting room/snug. A back hall provides access to a ground floor shower room and utility (which would convert well to a small kitchen) with staircase leading to the first floor; this section of the house could easily be partitioned to form a separate self-contained annexe. The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, leading to 5 double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a good-sized home office and a snug/teenage den. The principal suite has a fabulous walk-in dressing room plus good-sized en-suite.

The garden is an archetypal English country garden and has been beautifully landscaped with open-lawn areas and cosy corners, carefully designed to capture the sun at different times of the day. A fully insulated summerhouse alongside a pretty pond, provides the perfect spot for year-round relaxation with a book. A patio area with pretty pergola leads directly from the garden room, providing an ideal space for alfresco entertaining. The borders are well-stocked providing year-round colour and there is a sheltered kitchen garden to the rear of the house.

Location - The location of The Coach House is exceptional. Tucked away in a lovely private location on Minchinhampton Common, only the initiated would know the property even exists. Offering a magical seclusion with hundreds of acres of National Trust common land on the doorstep, the home is within ten minutes walk from Minchinhampton. The archetypal Cotswold market town of Minchinhampton boasts a host of amenities with several popular cafes, a gastro pub, post office, chemist and village store, to name but a few. The market towns of Stroud, Tetbury, Nailsworth and Cirencester are all within easy reach. Stroud has several major supermarkets including Waitrose, as well as an award winning Saturday Farmer's Market. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools with several sought after grammar schools in nearby Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester. In the private sector, Beaudesert Park is a five minute walk across the common and Wycliffe in Stonehouse and Westonbirt near Tetbury, are all within easy reach, as well as several popular schools in Cheltenham. The house is well located for transport links with both the M4 and M5 motorways easily accessible and trains into London Paddington from Stroud mainline station, circa 90 minues.

Directions - From our Minchinhampton office head out of the town via the Market Square into Butt Street. When you reach the main Cirencester Road, turn left and after circa half a mile, turn left along an unmarked track across the common, passing Seymour House on your left and Westfield on your right. The entrance to The Coach House will be found directly ahead of you.
