House For Sale £1,050,000
Experience the epitome of living in the Cotswolds, in this magnificent detached Freehold house in the highly sought-after hamlet of Nags Head, situated on the edge of Avening, which is located a short distance from the ancient Cotswolds market town of Minchinhampton, just ten minutes from the historic market town of Tetbury, and what's more, it's just a short walk from the Royal Residence of Gatcombe Park. This stunning home has been lived in by the same owners since its build in 1996, resulting in a well presented, well maintained and loved family home.
As you enter this beautifully presented home via the ground floor you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall which leads to a boot room, a library, a wine cellar and further onto a double garage. Continuing from the entrance hall the staircase leads you to the upper living quarters which is spread over two levels. As you reach the top of the stairs, from the entrance hall to the right is a large kitchen diner with elevated views of woodlands around three sides of the home, while to the left an elegant living room awaits, again with elevated views, plus a guest bathroom, an office/study/dining room which leads to a large undercover spacious patio area, (with an outdoor fire place) through French doors. Further on, there are stairs to the rear leading you to the upper sleeping quarters.
The second floor is dedicated to a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, and three additional large double bedrooms plus a family bathroom, all with ample storage and great views.
Externally there is parking at the front for a number of cars. The grounds that surround this beautiful home consist of mature gardens which are spread across a quarter of an acre which have been beautifully landscaped by the current owners. Due to the house having no direct neighbours this house benefits from being very private and having all the peace and quiet one would expect from a country house in such a position.
The property is situated in Nags Head which is on the fringe of Avening, a sought after Cotswold village which nestles in the valleys between Tetbury, Nailsworth and Minchinhampton. Tetbury is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and the second largest town in the Cotswolds. It is the home of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. Tetbury was an important market for Cotswold wool and yarn during the Middle Ages. Today, it is better associated with boutique shops, great food, and its Royal Connections. The Jolly Nice Farm Shop in Minchinhampton is a must-go destination for all your local fresh organic produce. Avening itself supports two public houses, a village hall, a good primary school and a Grade l Listed parish church which dates back to the late 11th century. The surrounding countryside of rolling farmland, steep sided valleys and woods remains very unspoilt and is officially recognised as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Nearby Nailsworth and Tetbury offer an excellent range of shops and services to cater for all everyday needs. William’s Food Hall & Oyster Bar in Nailsworth is a multi-award winning delicatessen as is Hobbs House Bakery. Stroud Farmers Market is also well known and is one of the largest in the country. Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham each have a wide-range of specialty shops as well as theatres, restaurants and cultural amenities.
Gloucestershire is noted for its schools, both state run and private. Of the former there is Sir William Romney’s School in Tetbury, as well as The Marling and Stroud High in Stroud. In the private sector there is Beaudesert Park, a highly regarded pre and preparatory school on Minchinhampton Common, Wycliffe College at Stonehouse, Westonbirt School as well as the schools and colleges in Cheltenham.
For those needing to travel the M4 and M5 motorways are within 20 minutes. Kemble Train Station is about 11 miles away (10 minutes by car) and offers intercity services to London, Paddington (scheduled to take about 75 minutes).
There are a number of golf courses in the area, including the highly-regarded courses at Minchinhampton. There is an equestrian centre in Barton End and world class eventing at Badminton and Gatcombe, The Festival of British Eventing. The nearby Cotswold Water Park offers many opportunities for water sports enthusiasts and there is racing at Cheltenham and Chepstow. There are many lovely walks in the surrounding countryside and at Westonbirt there is The National Arboretum.
