St Chloe, Amberley, GL5

Little Kestrels is an attractive detached family home extending to over 2,300 sq ft of bright and generously proportioned accommodation. Built in the 1960s, the property has been a much loved home since 2011, providing an ideal setting for family life, from early years at the local primary school to later independence with convenient bus links to senior schools. A defining feature of Little Kestrels is its exceptional setting, the majority of rooms enjoy a high degree of privacy, along with far reaching views across the valley. These outlooks, combined with the home’s orientation, allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. The property is entered via an entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway, with a useful WC/cloakroom. To the front, a study offers an inspiring workspace with particularly fine views. The 22’ sitting room is both spacious and inviting, centred around a cut stone fireplace with a log burning stove, while a bay window perfectly frames the surrounding landscape. This flows seamlessly into the 19’ dining room, where French doors open directly onto the garden, ideal for indoor outdoor living. The 21’ kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with contemporary units, complemented by a generous larder, a second cloakroom, and a practical utility room, completing the ground floor. A staircase leads from the sitting room to the first floor, where a landing leads to five well proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. Each room benefits from a pleasant outlook, with the westerly facing rooms enjoying particularly stunning views across the valley.

The property is approached via a gated driveway, providing a welcoming sense of privacy and generous parking space. This leads to a single garage with an up and over door, complete with power and lighting, and further enhanced by a useful workshop/store located beneath, accessed from the lower level. The gardens have been carefully landscaped to make the most of the site’s natural contours, perfectly framing the superb outlook to the rear. To the front, well stocked borders create a vibrant first impression, alongside a spacious paved terrace ideal for outdoor seating.

At the rear, the garden truly comes into its own, featuring a substantial paved entertaining area directly adjoining the dining room, perfect for indoor outdoor living. A mature grapevine provides a charming, shaded spot to relax and unwind. At the foot of the garden sits a well insulated cabin, complete with power and lighting, offering an ideal space for a home office or hobbies room. This is complemented by a covered seating area, perfectly suited for use as an outdoor kitchen or alfresco entertaining space.

The property is located in St Chloe, Amberley, which has the benefit of a well regarded primary school and playgroup, community shop and two good public houses. There are hundreds of acres of National Trust common land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, with the market towns of Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within a couple of miles. Nailsworth has become an increasingly popular shopping destination benefiting from a large selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of restaurants. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Stroud, with a main line railway service to London Paddington and the motorway junctions of the M4 and M5 within easy reach.
