Description - Stuart Court is a much admired and exclusive retirement development in the grounds of Minchinhampton's former rectory, close to the town's centre and High Street. No.22 is a particularly large 2/3 bedroom cottage tucked away on the quieter side of the development overlooking a pretty lawned square at the front and private woodlands to the rear. The development has beautifully maintained grounds adjacent to Minchinhampton Cricket Club.
This cottage benefits from an unusually large open plan sitting and dining room with doors leading to the private courtyard garden. This delightful room is full of light and is a wonderful space to entertain family and friends. To the front of the property is an adjoining, fully fitted separate kitchen.
This property has the added advantage of a ground floor double bedroom with a dressing room/study which could easily be changed to provide en-suite facilities. This would provide the option of spacious single storey living.
On the first floor is a sizeable landing which could work very well as a home office or reading space. This leads to what is currently being used as the main bedroom with inbuilt storage and an en-suite shower room.
A private and secure single garage with power and storage is located a short distance from the property across the communal gardens.
