Upthorpe, Cam, Dursley, GL11 5HR

A beautifully renovated character home built in 1886 positioned in a secluded hamlet on the outskirts of Cam with an extraordinarily large and established garden, and breath-taking views.

Approached from the front, the property has an attractive timber porch canopy, and a welcoming entrance with useful space for coats and shoes, which in turn leads into the sitting room. This room has a large box bay window overlooking the front garden, hardwood floors and a wood-burning stove. The adjoining dining room boasts the same wonderful natural light and outlook, feature fireplace and hardwood flooring, and is open to a contemporary kitchen with double Belfast sink and brass extendable spray tap. There is a deceptively large under-stairs cupboard currently arranged as a useful office/storage space, and a utility/boot-room to the rear with plenty of storage, plumbing for a washing machine and access to the parking and outdoor store.

Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms with spectacular south-westerly views across the valley, each designed to offer ample storage space, the master with custom-designed cabinetry and a pleasant dual aspect. The bathroom has been cleverly reconfigured to create a generous space now offering a walk-in shower, free-standing bath and bespoke double sink vanity unit.

Outside the gardens are a particular feature comprising of a south westerly facing enclosed garden adjoining the house to the front with a timber decked area designated for entertaining. To the rear there is a shared driveway providing access for the terrace, with ample designated space to park two vehicles alongside a large log-store, here you will also find a generous and very useful weather-proof brick built store. Along a short path to the front of the house you will find a quite extraordinary private garden with wonderful views, a pond, summer house, greenhouse, workshop, patios and nature areas, alongside productive beds, established trees and shrubs and wonderful espalier fruit trees. There is both power and water in the garden.
