Box, GL6

Cotswold Cottage is an attractive semi detached character property situated in a superb position in the heart of the ever popular village of Box. One of our very best addresses, Box enjoys a thriving local community, with the shops and amenities of nearby Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within easy reach and hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the road at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a pitched roof and has clearly been the subject of careful improvement and renovation recently, with well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors.

The property is screened from the lane by a dry stone wall, with a handsome gate leading into the plot. A porch, hall, 14’ sitting room with fireplace, 14’ dining room, 22’ kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke hand painted units and rear porch are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with three good bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room on this floor. High quality fittings have been used in the bathroom and shower room, and the windows at the front enjoy a great outlook over the garden.

The property benefits from a good garden at the front, and a courtyard at the rear. A couple of stone steps lead down from the gate into the garden, with a path to the front door and a gate at the side of the property that leads to the courtyard at the rear. The front garden is level, and laid to lawn, with the dry stone boundary wall as an attractive back drop to this space. There is a pedestrian right of way for the adjoining cottage to use the path in front of Cotswold Cottage to access the street. This isn't currently used, but the right does exist historically. 

The village of Box lies on the sheltered south facing escarpment, adjoining more than 700 acres of common land belonging to the National Trust. The town of Nailsworth benefits from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various independent clothing and gift shops and a good selection of cafes and restaurants. Beaudesert Park school is within walking distance and there are well regarded junior schools at both Amberley and Minchinhampton. There is a main line railway station four miles away in Stroud with a fast one and half hour direct service to London Paddington. Stroud also offers a large range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities.
