5 bedroom detached house for sale

Council tax band: E

A substantial detached family home in a particularly special position over-looking the river Cam on the well-regarded Littlecombe estate with a large driveway, double garage and studio.

The current owners bought the property from plan in 2011 and chose it because of the special outlook and the unusually generous plot, and it has served them very well as a family home.

Arranged over three floors the property has superb proportions, lots of light, and is beautifully well-balanced. A generous entrance hallway provides access to all rooms and offers plenty of space for a coat stand and life's essentials. The kitchen is a particularly delightful room with a triple aspect and box bay windows to the front, and the side overlooking the river, alongide double doors onto the garden. There are ample wall and base units and space for a good-size dining table and sofa. A useful utility room adjoins the kitchen and has ample space for laundry appliances and its own sink. The sitting room is an equally generous room with a sunny triple aspect and double doors onto the garden, in addition to this there is a WC/cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor you will find the master bedroom which sits above the kitchen and benefits from the same large windows and spectacular outlook over the river, alongside fitted wardrobes and a good-size ensuite shower room. There are two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom on this floor, alongside a useful linen cupboard. Stairs ascend to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms, each with built in storage, a large landing cupboard, and a shower room.

Outside there is a good-size garden which wraps around the property offering a great deal of privacy, and connection to the house from the sitting room and the kitchen. There is a generous patio for entertaining alongside which sits a specially planted aromatic bed with jasmine and an unusual pineapple chunk tree. There is level lawn, a productive medlar tree, established wisteria and a useful additional section of garden to the side of the house complete with newly built shed, a large fig tree, and gated access onto the driveway. The large double garage comes complete with EV charger, and is equipped with a WC and wash-handbasin. Above, the timber clad studio is an incredible space ideal for hobbies or home-working, while the block-paved driveway can comfortably accommodate six vehicles.

Littlecombe is well positioned for access to the amenities of both Dursley and Cam, as well as the surrounding countryside, and renowned 'Cam Peak'. The market town of Dursley located on the famous Cotswold Way offers an array of convenient shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes along with 'The Pulse', a popular sports facility with pool, Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club, a library, bus station, and the famous Old Spot Public House, in addition to Leaf and Ground Farm Shop and Cafe.
