Detached house for sale in Gloucester GL4, 3 Bedroom

Spring Cottage is predominantly of a cruck frame construction dating back to the 1470’s and has been extended approximately 200 years ago. 20 years ago the cottage was completely and sympathetically rebuilt by the meticulous and knowledgeable current owners and now offers surprisingly large and very practical family accommodation. Nearly all the period character has been retained including floors, doors, fireplaces, the crucks and beams as well as the windows and the modern facilities such as sophisticated underfloor heating to the ground floor, en-suite bathroom to the master, family bathroom and a large kitchen have been cleverly incorporated. The gardens surround the property are maturely landscaped, level and offer complete privacy together with ample drive and parking, a detached garage and storage.

Stroud and the pretty village of Painswick are both within easy reach and Junction 12 of the M5 motorway with its fast routes both North and South as well as to Cheltenham is only a five-minute drive.
