Old Common, Minchinhampton, GL6

A light and bright modern semi detached house situated in a quiet no through road on the outskirts of ever popular Minchinhampton. This location is very much part of a good local community and allows for easy access to both the shops and amenities of this quintessential market town and hundreds of acres of National Trust land at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, with The Old Common itself (a bit of a hidden gem) at the end of the road. The property is built using traditional methods with accommodation arranged over two floors. An entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen and sitting/dining room with glazed doors that open onto the garden are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the entrance hall, with a landing, two double bedrooms and a bathroom on this level.

The property benefits from parking and a rear garden. The parking is an allocated area in the courtyard to the front of the property and offers spaces for two cars. There is a side pedestrian gate that leads into the rear garden. This level area can also be accessed from the sitting/dining room, with a paved seating area directly behind the house and a lawn beyond. This is enclosed by fencing and there is a shed in the back corner.

This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well regarded primary school and a stylish CAMRA award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. There are breath-taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free-roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 Miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London.
