Description
Quietly located outside the village along a country lane it enjoys magnificent southerly views over surrounding farmland and sits in just under 4.6 acres.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is now in need of updating and improvement to bring it into the 21st century.
Many of the period features remain such as a wonderful staircase with twisted balusters, a set of venetian style windows, timber floors, panelling and door casements and an array of fireplaces.
In addition to the main house is a large set of traditional brick barns that have been partly converted into secondary accommodation, a games room and further buildings that provide further potential.
Outside
Approached from a country lane, along a tarmac driveway which culminates at the front of the house door and the garaging.
The gardens mainly to the south and west of the house, walled and providing well stocked borders and views over the surrounding farmland.
Beyond the house and gardens is a paddock of about 2.5 acres.
The nearby villages of Corse Lawn and Eldersfield are possibly better known, the latter for the highly regarded restaurant, The Butchers Arms. Whilst distinctively semirural the village is highly accessible, with the nearby town of Tewkesbury only 3.5 miles. A medieval town with a marina, it hosts various annual festivals and offers broader day to day facilities including shops, a doctor's surgery, delightful inns, boutique shops and large supermarkets.
Gloucester and Cheltenham are the nearest regional centres, both within a comfortable 25-minute drive. Both provide a wealth of culture and activities, with a Cathedral in Gloucester and Cheltenham playing host to several highly acclaimed festivals including Music, Literature and Jazz and famous Gold Cup.
Communications are excellent with junctions of the M5 and M50 motorways nearby; mainline rail services are available from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Worcester whilst Birmingham and Bristol International Airports are easily accessible as well.
