Frocester Cottage is a cleverly extended five bedroom home offering approximately 4,500 square feet of beautifully balanced accommodation and half an acre of truly splendid gardens, backing onto open fields.
Believed to date back to the early 1800's the property has been seamlessly extended over the years to create a home which offers great flexibility and a wonderful connection to the outdoor spaces and surrounding landscape. There are stunning views from all of the windows, in particular those from the rear across open farmland and towards Coaley Peak.
Approach via a gated entrance and sweeping drive, the property has a pretty front garden complete with a large spring fed pond, rockery and complimentary planting, alongside which sits a generous detached double garage.
Internally the property has a pleasing layout with the reception rooms all leading from a large entrance hallway, offering a great deal of flexibility for family life, home-working and hobbies, plus a useful cellar. The kitchen is a good size with room for a large table, lots of storage and a spectacular view towards Coaley Peak, this room sits alongside the formal dining room with scope to create a vast open plan kitchen/family space if desired. The double aspect sitting room is a very comfortable room with doors leading into a large conservatory, while the library is a wonderfully light room with doors opening onto the patio. The ground floor offers endless possibilities, not least the opportunity for a downstairs bedroom/suite or annexe if required.
Upstairs the five bedrooms are all good-size doubles, each with lovely views, and served by three well-presented bathrooms. The master bedroom is a particularly spacious room with a special view, fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite.
The gardens are magnificent and have been cleverly designed to create multiple areas for entertaining and enjoying the views. A large patio adjoins the house and connects with the library and conservatory, making for a very sociable space. Beyond this there are beautifully tended lawns with established borders, mature trees and shrubs and a very charming pergola avenue with mature climbers. There is a very special covered entertaining patio area with an established lavender border, and the more functional part of the garden has an attractive Dutch barn style shed, kitchen garden and greenhouse. All-in, a wonderful and much-loved garden.
Frocester is a charming village positioned between Coaley, Eastington and the cluster of villages known as 'The Stanleys', well-regarded for its established Cricket Club, good local pub, strong community spirit, and beautiful landscape, in addition to the very popular Frocester and Eastington Farm Shops which are close-by. Nearby Coaley (which is a walk away across-country) is another thriving village with a very popular public house and a community run village store.
Located just four miles from Stroud station, three miles from both Cam & Dursley and Stonehouse stations and three miles to Junction 13 of the M5, Frocester is perfectly positioned for those needing to commute while enjoying an idyllic countryside setting. The nearby town of Stonehouse has a fantastic range of amenities, while the larger town of Stroud offers greater options still, along with its renowned Saturday farmer's market.
