A pretty Grade II Listed character property situated in an excellent position in a popular road in sought after Minchinhampton. Friday Street is always so popular, and this location is very much part of the thriving local community, with shops, amenities and a well regarded primary school just down the road and hundreds of acres of National Trust land at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons within easy reach. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone with characterful accommodation arranged over two floors.  An entrance hall leads on to a 14' sitting room. This dual aspect room has a fireplace with a wood burning stove and glazed double doors that open to the rear, connecting the interior with the southerly aspect at the rear. A dining room, is beyond this, with a light kitchen and a bathroom with contemporary fittings at the rear of the house. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, two double bedrooms and a separate W.C on this floor. Plenty of character has been retained throughout the property, which has a friendly, welcoming feel.

The property benefits from a south facing rear garden. Glazed doors open from the sitting room onto this area, which is secluded and private. On a sunny day the light reflects off the rendered back wall - a pleasing contrast with the natural stone façade. This space is paved and gravelled and enclosed with stone walls, with raised flower beds and a useful detached stone-built store.

This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well-regarded primary school and a stylish CAMRA award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. There are breath-taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free-roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. 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.
