The Ridge, Bussage, GL6

Pinhigh is an individual detached bungalow in an elevated spot in ever popular Bussage. This location is well away from the busier, more densely populated Robert Hitchins built area and is on the edge of the original Cotswold village of 'Old' Bussage, with a country pub just down the lane and good walks on the doorstep. The property was built in 1992 using traditional methods under a pitched roof. The property has been owned by our client's family since that time - always the sign of a good house - and has been cleverly extended during that time. The extension was originally built to provide annexe accommodation in the form of an open plan 22' x 18' living space and shower room. It has since been incorporated into the original living space, and is now used as a spacious sitting room, but it could be reinstated as additional accommodation if so required. 

The accommodation is arranged over one floor. You walk into a porch and entrance hall, with a 14' dining room on the left. An arch leads through to an 18' kitchen/breakfast room, and this has glazed double doors that open onto the garden, connecting the inside with the outside. Moving on, three bedrooms and the bathroom are found on either side of the hall, with a shower room and sitting room on the east side of the property. The latter is a great space, and again, glazed doors open on the garden. There is plenty of accommodation on offer here, and the property is offered with no onward chain. We recommend an early appointment to view. 

The property benefits from a drive with space to park several vehicles, an attached garage and a goo drear garden. The property actually owns the private drive that stretches up from the road, with Pinhigh set at the top. The parking area is to the front of the property, with the garage to the side of the house, This has an up and over door, power and light. The rear garden has been landscaped, with a large paved area with pergola over directly behind the house - the perfect spot for a table and chair set, with space too for recliners or a garden sofa. The garden opens beyond this - a large lawned area, enclosed with hedging and fencing, with fruit trees edging the lawn and a useful green house.

Bussage, along with neighbouring villages Chalford, Brownshill and Eastcombe, enjoys a bustling village community, with established primary and secondary schools, two Cotswold pubs, a GP surgery, pharmacy, a post office and a shop in the area. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
