Abnash, Chalford Hill, Stroud

An impressive and light-filled home in a stunning location, enveloped by beautifully landscaped grounds with wonderful views, swimming pool and triple garage, thoughtfully extended to create a substantial family home

Description - Originally the barn to Abnash Farm, this impressive home has been extensively extended by the current vendor to create a spacious and substantial family home.

Accessed via a gated sweeping driveway leading to a parking area with garaging, the home makes an immediate impression.

Handsome oak doors open to a large reception hall. From the moment you step inside, the house feels wonderfully light and spacious, with a flowing sense of openness throughout.

A bespoke Bulthaup kitchen sits at the heart of the home, featuring sleek contemporary cabinetry and plentiful discreet storage. Large windows overlook the terrace and garden and there is ample room for a good-sized dining table, ideal for informal suppers with family and friends.

A distinctive curved quadrant seating area lies just off the kitchen, an unusual architectural feature that adds character and is an ideal spot for a relaxing coffee whilst soaking up the views of the garden.

The main reception is an impressive room with a high-standing wood burner creating a warming focal point. Leading open-plan to a superb garden room fronting the house, the area works well for year-round entertaining, filling the house with natural light.

A separate snug is ideal for teenagers or simply as a useful second reception.

The sense of space continues into the practical areas of the home with a generously proportioned laundry room, cloakroom, store and boiler rooms, notably rare and valuable features. Access to the triple garage can also be gained from the rear hallway.

Four good-sized bedrooms are located on the first floor, two with en-suite and walk-in dressing rooms. The principal bedroom has a statement en-suite with a bath strategically placed in front of double doors opening to an expansive roof terrace, the perfect spot for a soak in the tub, whilst taking in the panoramic view of the garden. A family bathroom is also located on this level.

A home office overlooking the garden would work equally well as a fifth bedroom.

Garden & Grounds - The grounds at Abnash Barn are a real feature of the property. Beautifully landscaped with a host of established trees including white beam and horse chestnut, extensive lawns sweep away from the house creating a wonderful sense of serenity and space. A gently flowing rill meanders through the garden culminating in a tranquil pond complete with charming jetty.

Raised patio and decking areas provide a choice of spots to relax and enjoy views across the garden and a heated swimming pool (solar and boiler fired) is ideal for both relaxing and pool parties.

Wooden electric gates open to a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking and a triple garage.
