Woodstock Lane, Avening, GL8

4 Woodstock lane is a detached picture postcard cottage situated in an elevated spot on a quiet country lane in the heart of Avening. This location is very much part of the village community, with a good pub and primary school just down the hill and countryside walks on the doorstep. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a stone tiled roof. It is in need of complete renovation but offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to refurbish a pretty cottage to their own tastes and standards.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. A porch, dining room, snug, kitchen, bathroom and side lobby are on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a shower room above, on the first floor. The windows at the front of the property take in the superb outlook over the valley, with the interior complemented by parking and a large garden that also makes the most of the first class view. 

The property benefits from a large garden, a small parking space and a Cotswold stone store. The parking space is behind the property, and there is another area of ground to the far side of the cottage. The store is attached to the property, and measures 10' x 8', with the garden found just across the lane, directly opposite the cottage. This generous area enjoys a lovely outlook over the valley. There is a productive old apple tree and some dilapidated sheds and a greenhouse. This area has huge potential.

Located in a wooded valley, the pretty Cotswold village of Avening is a lovely community with a church and a pub. It is a lively, active community with a thriving primary school and playgroup, many groups such as the youth club and WI, a village hall, social club and a playing field. The village, which border the Princess Royal’s estate at Gatcombe Park, is also close to 600 acres of National Trust common land at Minchinhampton, where there is a golf course and excellent walking and riding opportunities. More comprehensive amenities can be found in the nearby towns of Nailsworth and Tetbury. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
