Swellshill, Brimscombe, Stroud, GL5

The View is a delightful Cotswold stone semi-detached cottage that truly lives up to its name. Occupying a rural, elevated position, the property enjoys breath taking panoramic views across the Golden Valley from all windows. This well-presented family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with built-in cloaks storage, a utility room, and a modern fitted kitchen with stone tiled flooring and oak worktops. To the rear is a generous family/dining room featuring a wood-burning stove and French doors opening directly onto the garden. A separate sitting room showcases exposed stonework, a fireplace, and a recessed area ideal for a study space. A downstairs WC and large understairs storage complete the ground floor. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and dual aspect windows, and another with built-in eaves storage. A contemporary family bathroom serves this level. The second floor is accessed via a staircase from bedroom one and leads to a superb attic room, flooded with natural light from three large Velux windows. All bedrooms benefit from far-reaching countryside views, making this an impressive home in a truly special setting.

To the front of the property there is driveway parking for several vehicles, along with a large garage. The house is approached via a small gate and stone path, with side access leading to the rear garden. Immediately to the rear is a generous patio and high quality composite decked seating area, accessed through French doors from the family/dining room, and enjoying spectacular, far-reaching views across the Golden Valley. Steps lead down past the rear of the garage, which has a personal access door, to two lawned terrace gardens with planted borders, a pond, greenhouse, and a dedicated vegetable growing area with timber shed.

There is a right of way at the rear of the property for the neighbouring cottage to have occasional, requested access for garden deliveries or oil delivery.
