House For Sale £450,000
A charming, detached cottage positioned at the end of a secluded private road of just four properties with a large southerly facing garden, ample parking and spectacular views.
Believed to date back to 1740 the cottage has plenty of character charm to include solid wooden floors and an exposed stone fireplace with log-burning stove and stunning hardwood over-mantle. The property is one-of-a-kind, it has lovely proportions and is beautifully presented throughout, yet offers potential for conversion/extension (subject to obtaining the necessary permissions/consent). It would benefit from an upgrade to the windows, and the installation of a central heating system from the current electric storage heaters.
A useful entrance porch offers plenty of storage space for coats and shoes and a door leads into the dining room. The dining room has generous proportions with plenty of space for a large dining table, stairs ascend to the first floor and an opening leads into the sitting room. The sitting room is a wonderful space with two windows with window seats over looking the garden, and the focal point of the fireplace and stove for a cosy-cottage feel. A door leads through to the galley kitchen which has a quarry tiled floor, and while compact, offers a good amount of cupboard space and is further complemented by a large traditional pantry.
Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with stunning valley views, which in turn leads into a further good-size room which lends itself well as an office/dressing room or guest room. A bathroom which is in need of modernisation is accessed from this room and has a full-size bath, WC and wash-hand basin. The second bedroom is an L-shape which allows for plenty of storage and could be used as a double room, the adjacent bathroom has a contemporary suite, a good-size corner shower cubicle and a large Velux window with views of Uley Bury.
Outside there is a large workshop adjoining the house which also serves as a utility space, a good-size log-store and two further useful outbuildings. The garden is exceptionally private, southerly facing and has stunning views. The bottom of the garden which abuts the parking area has a large area of lawn, a stunning Copper Beech tree and established beds. A few steps ascend to a large patio which has been designed to embrace the views, and a further section of garden with symmetrical bay, box and lavender planting frames the cottage perfectly. The parking area is separated from the garden by hedging and a pedestrian gate, this provides ample parking for several vehicles.
Uley, positioned in a stunning valley on the Cotswold escarpment boasts wonderful views to all sides; of particular note is the Uley Bury, an Iron Age hill fort sat above the village which commands views over the Severn Vale. Unlike many villages nowadays, Uley has a thriving community of young and old. Garns Close, a cul-de-sac of just four properties is secluded and tucked away from passing traffic, there is vehicular access and also a footpath leading you to nearby walks and woodland. To the rear there is the backdrop of Uley Bury and at the front a magnificent southerly view.
There is a well-regarded primary school, a community run village shop with post office, dispensing doctors surgery, local Public House, Brewery and the Prema Art Centre which is a fantastic venue for local events and also home to the popular Vestry Cafe. There are many groups and organisations if you wish to get involved including the Church, the WI, The Uley Society and Toddler Group - to name but a few.
Dursley, two miles away, is a small town with many amenities, while Stroud and Nailsworth each within eight miles have a more extensive range of facilities.
