House For Sale £200,000
A terraced house in a elevated spot in Avening, a popular village a few miles south east of Stroud. This good village has a well regarded primary school and two good pubs, with country side walks within easy reach. We understand that the property is built using a non standard built method, and therefore might not be a suitable property with some high street lenders, so we do encourage potential buyers to investigate this in more detail prior to making any financial commitment to the property. An entrance hall, sitting room and kitchen/dining room are on the ground floor, with a bathroom and four bedrooms above, on the first floor. The property is in need of comprehensive modernisation but give buyers the opportunity to create a house to their own standards and taste.
The property benefits from garden to the front and rear. There is an open view at the front, and a shared alleyway with the neighbour that leads to the back. The rear garden is currently overgrown and borders Gatcombe fields at the rear.
The village of Avening provides local facilities including, two pubs, a church, a well regarded primary school and pre school playgroup. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the nearby towns of Nailsworth and Tetbury, each approximately two miles away. Minchinhampton Common, consisting of some 600 acres of open land largely vested in the National Trust, lies about two miles away providing a golf course in addition to excellent walking and riding opportunities. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
