2 Uley Road, Dursley

An exceptionally handsome Georgian town house displaying fabulous architectural features, with high ceilings, large rooms and a wealth of character, comprising a 6 bed main residence, together with an attached, self-contained 2 bed wing.

Description - Stanthill House is a superbly proportioned town house, beautifully laid out and sympathetically renovated with exceptional flair and style. Built in c1830 for Dr Fry, the Grade II Listed home is a landmark property in the town.

An impressive reception hall with a magnificent stone staircase and aged flagstone floor, sets the tone to this handsome house. High ceilings and large rooms, allow for a home which works equally well for entertaining, as it does for everyday contemporary living.

The kitchen/family room is clearly the heart of the home. Formerly the drawing room, full height sash windows with fully refurbished shutters allow for plenty of natural light. A bespoke Jack Morris kitchen provides ample discreet storage and a large centre island makes this a great space for chatting with friends. A large original fireplace with wood burner inset makes for cosy evenings at home.

The reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and provide ample living and entertaining spaces, with a second reception, ideal as a teenage snug and a spacious dining room, perfect for hosting. The original dresser creates a real statement piece in the dining room, as well as providing useful storage. A good-sized study with floor to ceiling original shelving provides a bright space to work.

A bespoke Jack Morris boot room is positioned to the rear of the house, offering a useful space for muddy boots and country paraphernalia and with access to both the garden and the cellar. The cellar and wine store run across four rooms, with the potential to convert to a home cinema and gym. A large laundry room and pantry with tremendous high ceilings, ideal for airing washing, is also located on the ground floor.

A statement stone staircase leads to six first floor bedrooms, two with en-suite, plus a family bathroom. The principal suite overlooks the garden with a fabulous copper bath positioned in front of the large sash windows, offering views down the valley and privacy. A Juliet balcony provides the perfect viewpoint to soak up the far-reaching panorama to Owlpen and the Uley Valley.

A self-contained annexe provides further accommodation, with two receptions, two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a fully fitted, spacious kitchen. The annexe is accessed via the dining room but also has its own private courtyard and bespoke entrance hall/library, making it ideal for multi-generational living, or working equally well incorporated into the main house.

The walled garden is set to the rear of the house and comprises level lawn, mature trees and well-stocked borders. A large gravel patio is ideal for alfresco entertaining and there is a redundant area to the top of the garden, ideal for converting to parking and the creation of a new driveway entrance (subject to planning consent).

Agent's Notes - The vendors have commissioned drawings to create a new driveway entrance to the property, off the Uley Road, creating parking and garaging for several cars; planning has not been submitted.

There is a small flying freehold in the annexe, with part of the bathroom positioned over the neighbour's courtyard.
