Walls Quarry, Brimscombe, GL5

Ambrose Cottage is a well presented character property situated in an elevated position at Brimscombe. This popular location allows for superb views across the valley to fields and countryside, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons. The property is built from Cotswold stone under a pitched tiled roof using traditional methods and has been the subject improvement and refinement in recent years, with accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance area, 14’ sitting room with wood burning stove and bedroom with en suite cloakroom are on the ground floor. Another 14’ reception room and kitchen are on the first floor, with a bedroom and bathroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. This layout allows for real flexibility in the way a buyer may choose to live in the house. Character features have been carefully retained, so you really do get the best of both modern convenience and original charm. A welcoming, interesting home, and very much one for your viewing list.

The property benefits from a parking area, where the current owners park two cars, and an enclosed garden. The parking space is behind the property, just up the road, and the garden is to the side. A door from the kitchen leads to a terrace from where you can enjoy delightful views across the Golden Valley.  Steps then lead down to a level enclosed gravelled garden.

The closest amenities are just down the hill at Brimscombe Corner. This includes a general store and a take away. The Ship Inn is opposite, serving good food and beer. Brimscombe primary school is just down the road on Brimscombe Hill. Stroud town is approximately three miles distant. Stroud town benefits from a variety of local independent shops and stores, art galleries, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The wider area has a wide range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre, award winning weekly farmers market and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
