This well regarded address allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of both Minchinhampton and Nailsworth, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land on the doorstep at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property is situated on the first phase of Bownham Park and as such benefits from the older, more interesting architecture of that period.

In addition to this series of adjoining living spaces there is also a separate 24’ sitting room. This is accessed from the inner hall, as are the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, main bathroom and two further bedrooms.

Many of the rooms have glazed doors that open onto the garden – a real feature throughout the property that really connects the inside and outside spaces. A first class home, available with no onward chain.

The interior complemented by parking and a well planned garden. The parking area is block paved, with space to park two vehicles, with a gate leading into the garden. This is set to three sides of the house and has been carefully planned and landscaped.
