A superbly proportioned period house with a host of character features and magnificent landscaped garden, located in the heart of the historic market town of Minchinhampton
Description - 20 Friday Street is a handsome period house , beautifully laid out and sympathetically renovated with tremendous attention to detail and style.
Dating from 1691 the Grade II Listed home opens to an impressive reception hall, setting the tone for the remainder of the property. With flagstone flooring and a handsome inglenook fireplace, the spacious entrance would work equally well as a dining hall. A cloakroom with a stunning architectural carving over what is believed to be one of the original entrance ways, provides a useful addition to the ground floor.
The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and is thoughtfully laid out to provide useful preparation space, along with plentiful storage. A large larder cupboard provides additional storage and there is ample room for a dining table, ideal for informal suppers. A vaulted ceiling to the rear of the kitchen adds a sense of light and space. A door leads off the kitchen opening to a superb enclosed terrace, perfect for summer entertaining.
The sitting room is accessed via steps leading off the reception hall; this wing of the house is believed to have initially formed part of a separate residence, possibly weavers workshops. The sitting room works equally well for entertaining as it does for cosy nights in front of the wood burning stove in the inglenook fireplace. Double doors open to the terrace, ideal for the warmer months.
A stone spiral staircase leads off the sitting room to a fabulous guest suite with en-suite shower room and built-in storage. The spacious dual aspect room benefits from lovely views over the picturesque 'Lemon Field.' Three further bedrooms including an attic room plus a study/small fifth bedroom, are accessed via a separate staircase in the opposite wing of the house. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide ample storage and plenty of natural light. The principal en-suite bedroom is a charming and spacious room with a walk-in wardrobe and pretty views overlooking the garden and distant hills. A family bathroom is also located on the first floor with magnificent Mary Poppins' style views over the rooftops of Minchinhampton, alongside a useful laundry room.
A good-sized full height cellar currently used as a workshop, is ideal as a wine store.
The garden is a hidden gem. Tucked away to the rear of the property, the enclosed garden offers total privacy and comprises well-stocked borders, level lawn, pond and a choice of seating areas. Two sheds create useful storage space for outside paraphernalia and a side gate provides handy access. A utility outhouse/boot room, offers further outside storage space.

About this agent
Minchinhampton is situated within an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', immediately west of Cirencester and between Tetbury to the south and Stroud to the north. With its unspoilt High Street, Market House and 17th century church with distinctive "coronet" tower, Minchinhampton is a classic example of a traditional Cotswold market town. With its popular primary school, medical centre, dental surgery, library and shops, Minchinhampton is a vibrant community which attracts both families and the retired, has three challenging golf courses in the immediate vicinity, tennis, cricket and rugby clubs, as well as numerous societies. A particular attraction is the adjacent Minchinhampton Common, over 500 acres in the care of the National Trust on the opposite side of which is Beaudesert Park, one of the region's most sought after private schools. Minchinhampton is about 15 minutes drive from Kemble Station from where services to Paddington are scheduled from 75 minutes, while Cirencester is equally convenient. Colloquially known as capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester has an outstanding range of independent retailers and from there it is dual carriageway to Swindon and Junction 15 of the M4 motorway for London or Heathrow Airport. Bath and Bristol, in the opposite direction, are also very accessible from Minchinhampton. The Minchinhampton Office serves the town and adjacent towns and villages in the south-west of the Cotswold region, including Tetbury and down to the Severn Vale in close co-operation with its sister offices at Stroud and Painswick and The Mayfair Office in central London.
