5 bedroom character property for sale

Council tax band: G

Red Cottage positioned in the heart of Frocester village offers an enviable view across the village cricket green and established grounds of approximately half an acre. Dating back to the 16th century the property has been extensively refurbished and offers spacious, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors with each of the rooms offering a lush green outlook or countryside views.

A porch leads into the entrance hall which has solid wooden herringbone flooring, door to all rooms and stairs ascending to the first floor. Here you will find a useful utility room and cloakroom/WC. The dual aspect sitting room has a stunning inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, exposed beams and doors leading onto the patio. Similarly the dining room, a generous room with ample space for both dining and living, has a door onto the garden and character features, this in turn connects to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is a wonderful, light-filled space with windows on three sides, a contemporary solid wooden kitchen and a large island with plenty of storage alongside breakfast bar seating. There is a range cooker with an extractor hood over, an integrated dishwasher and a Belfast sink with an exceptional outlook.

Upstairs a characterful landing built around the chimney breast serves fives bedrooms and the family bathroom. Each of the well proportioned bedrooms offers a stunning outlook either across the cricket ground or towards Frocester Hill and Coaley Peak. The master bedroom is a stunning room with a spacious dressing area, stylish ensuite and doors onto a wonderful terrace which enjoys daytime and evening sun. The good size ensuite has been beautifully fitted with a large walk-in shower and a stylish solid wooden vanity unit and sink. The family bathroom is equally well-equipped with a pea shaped bath with a rain system shower over.

Outside the established, wrap around gardens are delightful with large areas of lawn, mature trees and shrubs, and plentiful spring flowering bulbs. A shallow stream babbles through the garden and there are well appointed areas of seating to enjoy sunshine throughout the day. To the rear there is a large southerly facing terrace for entertaining, alongside an outdoor kitchen. The property offers a good-size gravelled, gated drive as well as a garage which has been superficially divided to created a workshop and useful storage space.

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, and beautiful landscape. Red Cottage offers an enviable outlook over the beautifully maintained cricket green and the surrounding hills. Nearby Coaley (which is a walk away across-country) is known for its community spirit and excellent amenities, to include 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.
