Mumbleys Lane, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, BS35

Secreted away along one of Thornbury's most sought after lanes, just minutes from the town centre yet surrounded by countryside rambles, Garden Cottage is an absolute delight from the moment you pull up on the gravel drive and spot the frontage cloaked in Wisteria, the wooden gate opening on to the stunning landscaped gardens and the pretty front door. Inside you certainly wont be disappointed with the good-sized entrance hall with doors through to the handy downstairs cloakroom and utility area, onto the smart fitted kitchen with plenty of space for a good sized dining room table. French doors take you into the living room, the perfect place for hosting family and friends on a summer's day, opening up the double doors on to the garden and letting the outside in. Upstairs there are three fantastic sized double bedrooms, the master with ensuite shower room, plus the family bathroom and every window enjoying a pleasant, green outlook. The garden is of particular note, south-facing and laid mainly to lawn with a working vegetable patch and two patio areas, one with pergola. Peppered in springtime bulbs, pretty perennials and mature shrubs it really is a delight to the senses. With the town centre, fantastic local schools and a plentitude of public footpaths to pick from, Garden cottage is the countryside retreat with excellent local amenities, that will suit anyone looking for tranquility in a great location!
