The Luggs, Kings Stanley, GL10

Brela Cottage is a beautifully presented semi detached cottage, quietly tucked away in the heart of this popular village, where excellent local amenities and direct access to the renowned Cotswold Way can both be enjoyed from the doorstep. Having remained in the same ownership since 2005, the property has been lovingly cared for and sympathetically maintained, retaining much of its original character and charm.

Hidden away from passing traffic, this delightful cottage is arranged over three floors and offers well balanced accommodation. An entrance porch opens into the welcoming sitting room, where a fireplace with a cast iron log burning stove creates an attractive focal point. Dual aspect windows allow plenty of natural light to flood the room, enhancing the cosy yet airy feel. Leading off the sitting room is a small inner hall with bespoke built-in storage and a tiled floor, which in turn opens into the kitchen. Overlooking the rear garden, the kitchen is fitted with built-in cupboards, wooden worktops, a traditional Belfast sink, integrated fridge and freezer, slimline dishwasher, and an electric oven and hob. The kitchen flows into a lovely sunroom, currently used as a dining room, which enjoys delightful views over the private rear garden. With French doors opening onto the garden, this versatile space provides an ideal area for dining or entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a wet room, fitted with a corner WC and large walk-in shower. Stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows that fill the room with natural light. A built-in cupboard houses the Vaillant gas fired boiler, and a separate WC is accessed directly from the bedroom. The second bedroom occupies the second floor and is accessed via a staircase within the principal bedroom. It features exposed beams and Velux windows to both the front and side elevations.

Outside, the property benefits from off road parking for one vehicle to the front. The rear garden is a particular feature of the cottage, private, sunny, and beautifully stocked with a variety of traditional cottage flowers and mature planting. An ornamental pond creates a peaceful focal point, while a mature tree at the far end of the garden provides welcome shade during the warmer months. There is also a useful timber built shed.

The village of Kings Stanley benefits from a range of amenities and two good schools with straight forward access to the motorway also closeby. Stonehouse is approximately a mile distant and offers a good range of shops and amenities within its level High Street with primary and secondary schools also within the vicinity. Stonehouse railway station offers a direct line to London (Paddington). Junction 13 of the M5 motorway is approximately two miles distant with a wider range of shops available in the towns of Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
