Toadsmoor Road , Brimscombe, GL5

Gussage Mill Cottage is a well presented double fronted character home in a private position at popular Brimscombe. This location is well placed for local amenities with country and canal-side walks just down the road. The property is built from Cotswold stone using traditional methods and was originally the managers premises for Gussage Mill. It has been the subject of comprehensive renovation and clever improvement during the current owners tenure, with spacious, characterful accommodation arranged over three floors. You walk into a large entrance hall. A 23’ sitting room with fireplace with fitted wood burning stove is to the right, with an impressive 16’ x 16' kitchen/family room to the left. This light, sunny room was originally a double garage, and it's now a lovely living space, with plenty of room to cook, eat, entertain and relax, with bi-fold doors that open on to the garden and a set of floor to ceiling glass panels to let in lots of light . A staircase leads up from the sitting room to the first floor. A landing, suite with bedroom and dressing room, shower room and second bedroom are on this level, with another bedroom and a bathroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. An interesting, characterful home with plenty of space that could be used in a variety of ways - viewing highly recommended.

The property benefits from a good plot with outbuildings. There is a drive with parking for several cars, a timber built double carport and detached garage here, with a greenhouse beyond the garage. A gate then leads through to the garden, with a path leading to the house. There is a level lawn to the left of the path, with a timber built den at the head of the plot. The owners have created this with entertaining in mind, and you can sit here and look back out over the garden. There is a gravelled seating area on the right of the path, and the owners have an outdoor sofa set on this sunny space. The garden is well planted, with mature trees and shrubs. The front garden is gravelled, and enclosed with a pretty dry stone wall and planting. 

Brimscombe is a popular area a couple of miles East of Stroud on the sunny side of the Golden Valley. The Long Table, Stroud Brewery, The Ship Inn and Studio 18 are close by, and are all superb community spaces, with well regarded Brimscombe and Thrupp primary schools within a mile. Stroud’s shops and amenities are within easy reach, with canal side walks at the bottom of the hill and some wonderful countrywide just up the lane at The Heavens. As such, the property enjoys the advantages of being equidistant between open countryside and the lively town of Stroud, which offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, schools and colleges and leisure facilities. Stroud Railway Station provides a main-line service to Gloucester and London. Junctions of the M4 and M5 Motorway are also within easy driving distance.
