The Street, Stinchcombe, GL11

This stunning Grade II Listed* village home sits at the head of beautiful cottage gardens that stretch way out behind - a delight for the green-fingered amongst us. It is situated at the heart of the upper part of Stinchcombe, opposite the village hall and playing field, with country walks right from the threshold. Stepping inside, a central hallway runs front to rear with a doorway at the back opening directly onto the garden. The dual-aspect sitting room is on the right hand side, with a wood-burning stove to warm you on those chillier evenings. Opposite is the dual-aspect kitchen/dining room with fitted high-back corner seating and a colourful range in the hearth. Moving upstairs we discover two double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, plus a lovely bathroom complete with a roll-top bath for enjoying a soak in and a separate shower cubicle for convenience. Crossing the rear threshold into the garden we step across the patio, past the outdoor utility room, then on up through beautifully stocked and secluded gardens - a real village oasis. Further up we pass a wooden summer house and, a little further on, the studio/home office - a great work-from-home or hobby space. A super period home, with bags of character and charm.
