Detached house for sale in Stroud GL6, 5 Bedroom

Occupying a pretty Cotswold setting, tucked away in the sought after village of France Lynch, lies this detached period home. Set within gardens and grounds equating to 0.4 acres with elevated views, this Cotswold cottage has been the subject of a comprehensive extension to now provide beautifully proportioned accommodation, measuring 2884 sq. Ft. Arranged predominantly across two floors, features are in abundance throughout and include mullion windows, period fireplaces, and French limestone floors. The existing owners have made some fantastic improvements to the house including a recently built sun room that boasts an outlook and doors to the landscaped gardens. The sociable family kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units, gas/electric Aga and enjoys tri-fold doors opening to a level lawn. Both rooms enable the garden to become an extension of the living space. Whilst offering three reception rooms, particular mention must made of the main drawing room, owing to its generous size and two sets of French doors opening to the garden, which encourage the free flow of light. The master bedroom suite certainly provides the ‘wow factor’ due to its vaulted beamed ceiling, Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, en-suite facilities and generous proportions. A further 4 bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and family shower room. Whilst the property enjoys great style, the layout is also practical with a laundry room usefully located on the first floor and walk in larder positioned adjacent to the kitchen.
