Description - Highclere offers a pretty 2 bed detached cottage. Tucked away in a sought after location on Rodborough Common (an area of outstanding natural beauty), the former coach house offers practical living alongside cosy Cotswold charm. A covered porch opens to a good sized reception hall, handy for muddy boots and coats after a walk on the common. The home has an instantly bright and welcoming feel opening into a good sized sitting room. A woodburning stove provides a lovely focal point to the room, ideal for cosy evenings by the fire. Doors open from the sitting room to a super south facing patio area, a lovely spot for a morning coffee or alfresco entertaining. The kitchen is set to the rear of the home and stylish red Miele units, with integral appliances, create a chic whilst functional space, ideal for cooking up a feast. A door leads from the kitchen to the side parking area and a useful log store. A WC and two storage cupboards are located off the kitchen. The dual aspect dining room is front facing and a good sized room which would work equally well as a bedroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden to the side of the house and is a bright room with spacious en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, a charming loft room (currently utilised as a bedroom) benefits from a further en-suite bathroom together with a raised area, currently used for storage with the potential to create further living space (subject to the necessary consents). Highclere's garden is an absolute delight. Well-stocked borders and a gently sloping lawn create a magical enclosed haven. With several patio areas, there is no shortage of idyllic spots to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings or to entertain alfresco. A gravel driveway with two separate entrances provides ample parking and there are several sheds.

Directions - Highclere is most easily found by leaving our Minchinhampton office via West End into Windmill Road and out onto the common. Turn right and immediately left heading towards Stroud. Carry on past the Bear Inn and shortly after take the left hand fork towards Rodborough. After a few hundred yards you will find a walled entrance to Over Butterow on the right hand side. Turn into Over Butterow, take the second left and the driveway to Highclere can be found shortly after on the right hand side.

Location - Highclere's location is one of its key attributes. Tucked away along a private road off Rodborough Common, the house is one of ten individual and exclusive homes set around a pretty communal green. This is a home offering the best of both worlds, set in a wonderfully peaceful location but still with a welcoming community on the doorstep. Within minutes of Rodborough Common, offering 100s of acres of National Trust commonland, the location is ideal for country walks or a short walk across the common to the Cotswold's award winning ice cream factory, Winstones ice cream.

The market towns of Stroud, Minchinhampton, Nailsworth and Cirencester are all nearby, offering an abundance of independent retailers, restaurants and pubs as well as local shops. The Bear Inn is within walking distance of the property. Nearby Stroud has several major supermarkets, as well as a cinema and award winning Farmers Market. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector. Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham all have sought after grammar schools and in the private sector, Beaudesert Park school is only a short walk away, across the common. London is circa 2 hours by road or 90 minutes from Stroud mainline station and the M5 is also easily accessible (circa 15 minutes drive from Over Butterow).

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    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.
