St Loes Pitch, Culver Hill, Amberley, GL5

Amberley is one of our very best addresses, and this substantial detached house sits at the head of this quiet cul-de-sac commanding the most fantastic outlook across the Woodchester valley. This first class view is enhanced by a westerly aspect, so you can sit in the sun and lose yourself in the view. The property was originally built in the 1960’s and subsequently extended in the 1980’s. The current owners saw the potential of this large house, and have improved the accommodation, creating a lovely 21’ kitchen/family room and a 21’ principal bedroom.

A porch, entrance hall, 16’ sitting room, bathroom, study and the aforementioned kitchen/family room are on the ground floor. The latter is absolutely the hub of this light, spacious house. It measures 21’3” x 18’4”, with glazed sliding doors that open onto the front terrace, connecting the inside with the outside, a butler’s pantry, and plenty of space to cook, eat, entertain and relax. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, three bedrooms, shower room and a principal bedroom on this floor. This fine 21’ room has three window to two aspects, letting in the view, a dressing area and a study space. In addition to finessing the layout, the current owners have fitted a new gas boiler, upgraded the electrical system and fitted new kitchen cabinets. This is a house that does so much so well – an early appointment to view is highly recommended.

The property is in a first class position, facing west at the front, with a superb view across the Woodchester valley, so it’s only right that there is a good seating area at the front of the property, so you can take advantage of this. Glazed doors slide open, connecting the kitchen with this area and the wonderful view. A path leads around the front of the property past a colourful well stocked border to the side garden. There is another seating area here, and the lawned garden slopes up to meet the rear garden. There is a large plot here, laid to lawn, with fruit trees and this is enclosed with hedging and shrubs. A prospective buyer will landscape this area to make the absolute most of the plot and the position. The house is set centrally within the garden and the lawn run back down at the far side of the house to link back up with the front of the house, and that super view. There is a gated gravelled parking area at the front of the house with space to park several vehicles and a large detached garage. This measures 16’ x 16’ with a personal door power and light.

Amberley is rightly recognised as one of the best places to live with the five valleys of Stroud. It has a friendly community, and the benefit of a well regarded primary school, a village shop and two good public houses. There are hundreds of acres of National Trust common land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons with the market towns of Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within a couple of miles. Nearby Nailsworth has become an increasingly popular shopping destination benefiting from a large selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a selection of restaurants. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Stroud, with a main line railway service to London Paddington and the motorway junctions of the M4 and M5 within easy reach.
