Description
Teasel Cottage undoubtedly occupies one of the most fabulous locations backing on to Selsley Common with the most stunning, far reaching views. This lovely period Cotswold home has been extended by the current owners to offer spacious accommodation whilst retaining period features such as fireplaces and a fabulous original wooden door. Furthermore Teasel Cottage benefits from a detached stone building, ideal for air B&B or detached home office.
With an L-shaped layout on the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a fabulous 'farmhouse style' dual aspect kitchen/dining room, with doors opening on to the gardens. The spacious sitting room houses what would have been the original door in to the cottage, with exposed Cotswold Stone Fireplaces (one housing a wood burning stove). Additional areas on this level include a utility/cloakroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms with the master benefiting from its own double shower. The family bathroom works in a 'Jack and Jill' style dividing the master suite from the rest of the rooms. A fabulous attic style room with beautiful beams is accessed from one of the smaller rooms, offering an ideal additional reception space or bedroom.
Gated parking and gardens are located to the front of house, mainly laid to lawn with a sociable seating area located directly off the kitchen. The gardens allow for the best of the views over open fields towards Rodborough Common.
A detached stone building has been converted to offer ancillary accommodation, an ideal space for an air B&B or home office with good space and an with en-suite shower room. Garage style storage is located beneath.
Directions
The property is most easily found by leaving Stroud in the direction of the M5 motorway. At Sainsbury’s roundabout take the left turn scenic route signposted to Selsley. Continue up the hill through the village and over the cattle grid, taking the next track on the left hand side where the property will be found towards the bottom of the track.
Location
Teasel Cottage is situated on the edge of an ancient common with just under 100 acres and being a site of special scientific interest noted for its rare plants, Selsley Common is a marvellous 'green lung, ' popular with dog walkers. The village, just down the hill, has a good pub and is conveniently close to Stroud, the administrative centre for the district with a full range of services. These include a Waitrose superstore and three other supermarkets, an award winning farmers' market, a good range of independent retailers, two grammar schools and main line railway station - London Paddington circa 90 minutes. By road the capital is approximately 2 hours via the M4 or the M40, while Junction 13 ( Stroud) of the M5 is only 10 minutes away for commuting to Bristol or the West Midlands. The local scenery is dramatic, with Stroud at the heart of five different river valleys, each with their own identity. The area is excellent for walking and cycling, with a cycle track running between Stroud and Nailsworth. There are also three challenging golf courses in the vicinity.
