8 bedroom character property

A very handsome and substantial early 19th century Grade II Listed family home with spectacular views across the Coombe valley and generous gardens.

Coombe Lodge in the pretty hamlet of Coombe benefits from a pleasant rural position, while the amenities of Wotton-under-edge are within comfortable reach. Arranged over three floors the property has wonderful proportions and retains a great many of its original character features to include fireplaces, cornice and mouldings, doors and windows, alongside some quite spectacular cabinetry.

An imposing entrance hallway provides access to all rooms and has a magnificent sweeping staircase with an original stained glass window of particular note. The drawing room is a wonderfully light and generous room with a bay window and an original fireplace, the adjacent dining room has similar proportions and an original fireplace inset with a log-burning stove. This leads into a large utility and pantry which in turn takes you though to the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of custom fitted solid wooden units, some wonderful fitted cabinetry and a window seat from which to enjoy a pleasant outlook across the side courtyard. This room can also be accessed from the entrance hallway.

The study is a particularly pleasant light-filled room overlooking the garden with an original fireplace and cabinetry. A modest family room sits to the rear of the property and has double doors onto the side courtyard and an original cast iron range, adjacent to this there is a good-size cloakroom and boot room.

Beneath the staircase there is a doorway with a stone staircase giving access to the cellars which are substantial and have good head room. To the rear of the property, externally accessed, there is a brilliant studio room which lends itself well to working from home or hobbies.

The first floor boasts a wonderfully open landing with the aforementioned stained glass window as a splendid focal-point, four generous bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. The two principal bedrooms are grand rooms which enjoy the southerly aspect and breath-taking views alongside plentiful, original architectural details.

The large dual aspect bathroom is of particular note with a free-standing bath, a large shower cubicle and a spectacular run of original cupboards which have been painstakingly restored. The positioning of this room means it can be used as either a family bathroom or included with the master bedroom to make a particularly special master-suite. Stairs ascend to the second floor where four further well-proportioned rooms can be found alongside a bathroom and a good-size landing space with storage.

Outside, the property has a great deal of kerb-appeal with a pillared and gated entrance and a large gravelled driveway. The driveway, front terrace and side courtyard wrap around the house creating a wonderful space for entertaining and from which to enjoy the splendid views. The elevated nature of the house means you can enjoy sight of the entire garden from the terrace and there are various steps and pathways which wind down into the garden where you will find a further terraced area of patio, fruit cages, a greenhouse, a small pond, a workshop and a wonderful selection of mature trees.

Coombe Lodge occupies a rural position in the hamlet of Coombe on the outskirts of the market town of Wotton-under-Edge. While rural in position and offering beautiful countryside and plentiful footpaths close by, the town can be reached comfortably on foot within 20 minutes. Wotton has a thriving high street with plentiful independent traders, alongside well-regarded restaurants and cafes, two supermarkets, life's essentials such as doctors and dentists and a brilliant farm shop. Additional amenities include a swimming pool, a cinema, Under the Edge Arts - a volunteer let arts centre in the centre of town, well-regarded primary and secondary schools and a choice of golf courses nearby.

The property benefits from good commuter links with Junction 14 of the M5 motorway and Junction 18 of the M4 motorway easily reached, providing fast routes to Bristol, Gloucester and London, with London mainline railway stations at Stroud (12 miles) and Kemble (18 miles).
