Located behind secure gates, the property has been beautifully maintained by the current owner and offers lovely light and welcoming spaces with wrap around gardens and off-street parking for several vehicles. A separate porch leads into the main entrance hall feeding into the dual aspect sitting room with a modern built in wood-burning stove ideal for cosy evenings, separate cloakroom and kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of units including a double oven. On the first floor there are two equally lovely dual aspect double bedrooms together with the family bathroom.
A covered area (with planning permission to extend) is accessed to the side of the kitchen with a useful storage cupboard and access to the 3rd bedroom/annexe, utility room and additional WC. The planning permission would allow for a further two storey extension. Visit Ref: S.23/1427/HHOLD.

Lovely, established gardens wrap around two sides of Treetops with fabulous far-reaching views and a range of shrubs and small trees. The external space allows for entertaining with a sociable seating area, kitchen garden with greenhouse together with side area ideal for play equipment or further landscaping. Secure gated parking is located to the front of the house.

Directions - The property is most easily found by leaving Stroud on the A419 in the direction of the M5 motorway. At the Cainscross roundabout take the third exit up Paganhill Lane, passing the fire station on your left. At the mini roundabout bear left signposted Farmhill and continue up the hill to Whiteshill, passing the primary school on your left hand side. Continue to the top of the hill where the property can be found on the left hand side just before the left hand turning to Randwick.

Location - Treetops is situated high up on the escarpment above the village of Whiteshill, ideally placed for accessing Stroud, Gloucester and the M5 motorway for Bristol or the West Midlands. Whiteshill has a community shop, country pub and primary school. It is also on the direct bus route between Stroud and Gloucester. Stroud itself is the largest town locally, with 4 major supermarkets, an award winning Farmers' Market, multiplex Cinema, a provincial Theatre and main line Rail Station (direct services into London Paddington from 90 minutes). For the young, there is a great range of sports clubs and a leisure centre, while crucially Treetops is within reach of a whole number of excellent secondary schools both state and private, in or around Stroud and over to Gloucester. There is a choice of challenging golf courses locally to join, the Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre and premier division rugby all within easy reach. Perhaps the greatest joy of living at Treetops however is having immediate access to an extensive network of public footpaths among glorious scenery, not least along the Cotswold Way.
