A 1940s vintage railway carriage available by separate negotiation, stands as a charming relic and offers a wealth of possibilities, functioning as a charming home office, an exciting sleepover space for children, or even a lucrative Airbnb opportunity. While an outdoor kitchen, complete with a pizza oven, promises alfresco feasts. An access gate at the rear opens onto Butterrow West, and offers the possibility of creating additional parking at the garden's lower reaches. A sauna and a shed, equipped with light and power and a large, inviting patio terrace. For added convenience, the property includes parking for 2 cars at the front with an electric vehicle charging point. Access from driveway, via a side gate to garden as well as from Butterrow West.

Description - Once a humble 1930s bungalow that has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis, now a transformed haven boasting the most spectacular, panoramic views towards the rolling hills of Stroud and Selsley. Designed by a well reputed architect, this detached residence is finished to a high specification throughout with many bespoke features. Stepping inside, the kitchen, a handbuilt culinary masterpiece, is of commercial-grade with additional extra deep, 80cm worktops. The kitchen is equipped with a movable central island housing a built-in wine fridge and discreet recycling and waste solutions. Bifold doors stretch across the open plan kitchen/dining area, onto a large, inviting patio terrace, inviting the breathtaking landscape in. The entire house is fitted with underfloor heating, a luxurious touch, even extending to a bespoke, underfloor-heated corner seat, a unique and comforting feature. The garden, a realm of its own, great for adults and children alike holds further treasures. A 1940s vintage railway carriage available by separate negotiation, stands as a charming relic and offers a wealth of possibilities, functioning as a charming home office, an exciting sleepover space for children, or even a lucrative Airbnb opportunity. While an outdoor kitchen, complete with a pizza oven, promises alfresco feasts. An access gate at the rear opens onto Butterrow West, and offers the possibility of creating additional parking at the garden's lower reaches. Set within the generous garden there is also a sauna and shed, both equipped with light and power and a large, inviting patio terrace. Ascending the stairs, the air, refreshingly cool or heated thanks to the upstairs air-conditioning adds to the modern comforts within. The first-floor landing, spacious enough to serve as a reading snug or study, with double pull out sofa bed, is punctuated by further bifold doors, framing the vista. Bedroom 1 (master bedroom) opens into a dressing room, with built in wardrobes and complete with a freestanding large stone bath, which flows seamlessly into an ensuite wet room. A dedicated laundry area provides practicality, the main bathroom, like the rest of the house, offers stunning views. 2 further double bedrooms can also be found along with the master suite.
The entire project, a labour of love, had been executed by a local builder, transforming the former bungalow into a contemporary masterpiece. Started in 2019 and completed a few years later, the result is a home where modern luxury and breathtaking natural beauty intertwine. For added convenience, the property includes parking for 2 cars at the front with an electric vehicle charging point. Viewings by appointment.
