Description

Ask someone to describe the ideal Cotswold character home and there’s a good chance they would draw you a picture of Lavender Cottage. This detached cottage has bags of charm, and a large garden that borders the field behind. It is very much part of the inclusive, friendly local community, with a great primary school, pub and community shop up the road and the shops and amenities of Nailsworth just a mile away.

The property is built from natural stone using traditional local methods, with accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance area, kitchen, 15’ dining room with an old fireplace and bread oven recesses and a 16’ sitting room with fireplace with wood burning stove are on the ground floor. A landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor, with a study, two further bedrooms and a shower at the top of the house, on the second floor. Prospective buyers are bound to love the character and feel of the property, and they may look to extend the property subject to planning permission and building consent, as the size of the plot would more than allow for this.

The property has a lovely garden. The property has been built facing into this area, for the outlook over the fields, with the lane behind. A pedestrian gate leads into the plot, with a paved area to the side of the cottage. There is a another paved area in front of the house and this is the ideal spot to sit and enjoy the outlook into the garden and the open land behind. A couple of steps lead up into the garden from here. This large area is mostly laid to lawn, with borders stocked with established plants and edged with dry stone walls. There is a useful block build shed in the corner of the garden, and the whole area enjoys the open outlook.

The property is in Downend, Horsley. This popular village boasts a shop, church and primary school. The lively Cotswold town of Nailsworth is approximately 1½ miles away and has become an increasingly popular shopping destination within the Stroud Valleys benefiting from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of very well regarded restaurants. In addition to this the town currently benefits from three supermarkets and both state and private schooling in the area. Nailsworth is also home to Forest Green Rovers Football Club where there is a modern leisure/fitness centre. Bus services connect with Stroud, some 4 miles away, where there is a more comprehensive selection of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (4 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.

Property information

The property is freehold. The council tax band is E. The property has gas central heating, mains electricity and water connected, but it is not connected to the public drain. We are informed by the owner that the property currently discharges sewage into a lissom directly in the rock below, and buyers may wish to install a modern private drainage system, or, if possible connect to the main. The cost of this has been considered when valuing the house and deciding upon an asking price. We have checked the service and reception levels available locally through the OFCOM network checker and a standard and Ultrafast broadband service is available, and you are likely to have good mobile or data service with the any of the main providers, although reception inside the house may be limited.
