Rooms
Background by the Vendors:
The original cottages that form the west side of Cavanbah are built of local stone, we believe the cottages date back to 1855. Over the last 50 years, these cottages have been incorporated into one building, extended, and renovated. Further renovations and improvements by ourselves. We enjoy the easily managed secure garden with mature trees that provide a high level of privacy and a sanctuary of peace.
Local Amenities:
Bussage and Eastcombe neighbouring hilltop villages, easily reached on foot or by car. Here you will find a Primary School and Secondary School. Shops, Chemist, Post Office, Medical Centre, Petrol Station and bus service to Stroud. Stroud is within 5 miles and has developed from its woollen mill heritage into a centre of the modern arts and craft movement. It has a well-supported and award-winning local farmers market on a Saturday morning that must be visited, offering local produce and fantastic atmosphere. A great variety of independent shops and Cafes. A selection of national supermarkets, hospital and has two state Grammar schools for boys and girls with Bussage being in the catchment area for several mixed comprehensive schools. Independent schools are Beaudesert Park school in Minchinhampton, Wycliffe College at Stonehouse. The towns of Nailsworth and Stonehouse within 6 miles. Not forgetting the great canal walks and the wonderful views and walks from Minchinhampton common.
Directions:
From Stroud follow the London road out of town towards Cirencester, continue to follow passing Thrupp and Brimscombe. You will approach a sign on the left hand side for Bussage & Eastcombe. Turn left onto Toadsmoor road which becomes Vatch lane. At the top of the hill turn right onto The Ridgeway and immediately right onto The Ridge and turn right onto Cowswell lane. Drive past a small green on your right and the lane starts to narrow. Very shortly you will see a drive going up on the left hand side. This leads to a gathering of private properties. Follow up the drive to the top and in the top right hand corner you will see the back of the cottage with the chipping driveway to the side.
Location:
Cavanbah is in an area known as Old Bussage which has many stone houses of the same period, linked together with quiet, narrow lanes - making it one the best kept secrets of the Cotswolds. We have found the community to be welcoming, helpful and friendly. Close by, there are playing fields and a beechwood, which are great for children, dogs, and people of all ages. Also close by are the Village Hall and the ancient Church of St Michael. The Ram Inn is a particularly popular pub and restaurant which is within a short stroll from the property. Further afield, there are woods, villages and communities that have made it such a wonderful location to live.
