A substantial 5 bedroom family home nestled along a quiet country lane offering magnificent views, beautifully landscaped garden and ample parking.
Description - The Hollies is a superbly proportioned family home that works equally well for everyday living as for hosting family and friends. Dating back to circa 1840, the property has been the subject of a total renovation successfully combining period charm with modern day updates. Deep historic walls, aged flagstone floors, original beams and a lovely old fireplace sit harmoniously alongside underfloor heating and bespoke oak windows throughout.
The kitchen/dining room is clearly the heart of the home and a fabulous room for large family suppers or entertaining with friends. Bespoke wooden units provide plentiful discreet storage and there is ample room for a good-sized table. A large centre island with granite worktop offers useful additional space for food preparation. Double doors lead directly from the kitchen to the rear
garden and patio area, ideal for alfresco entertaining.
Steps lead off the kitchen to the sitting room where the original inglenook fireplace, with wood burner inset, creates a cosy focal point to the room. With plenty of space and fitted with engineered oak floorboards, the room works equally well for both cosy nights at home by the fire and for entertaining. A library/snug with bespoke units creates a useful second reception or home office. A back kitchen opens to the garden, ideal for overflow storage or food preparation for alfresco dining but working equally well as a utility, if preferred.
Five bedrooms are located on the upper floors with three first floor bedrooms, the principal with en-suite and in-built Sonos sound system, plus a separate family
bathroom. A further two bedrooms and additional bathroom are located on the second floor. All of the rooms have been carefully laid out and all benefit from wonderful views of either the valley or the garden. A large decking area framed with glass panels leads off one of the first floor bedrooms with access to the garden.
A spacious laundry/boiler room is conveniently located on the first floor although the ground floor back kitchen would work equally well as a laundry room if preferred.
Outside - The garden is a real feature of the property. Beautifully landscaped, the grounds comprise well-stocked borders and a tiered area to the side of the house with a charming arbor. An orchard with mature
fruit trees including cherry, apple and fig, together with a vegetable and fruit garden, offer the opportunity to live the self-sufficient 'good life.' A large enclosed patio area is ideal for summer parties or family BBQs. The garden is entirely enclosed by hedging and dry stone walling, making it a wonderful safe space for children and overlooking a pretty paddock to the one side.
A large parking area is located across the pathway from the house, with gravel parking for several cars.

About this agent
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.
