Culver Hill, Amberley, GL5

September Cottage is an individual detached home sitting in a wonderfully elevated, sunny position on Culver Hill in ever popular Amberley. The views across the Woodchester valley are simply superb, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons just up the hill - the very definition of countryside on the doorstep. Built using traditional methods and designed to make the very most of its exceptional setting, this is a property that does so much so well. From the superb plot, measuring 0.331 acres in total, to the large drive with an abundance of parking, September Cottage ticks so many boxes. The property offers spacious and well considered accommodation arranged over two floors and the current owners have thoughtfully improved the property during their time there, including remodelling the kitchen and dining room to create a connected space that is the hub of the home - a space that works as well for everyday family life as it does for entertaining. The ground floor offers an entrance hall, a 19' sitting room and ground floor double bedroom. A short flight of stairs lead up to the inner hall, with a bathroom, shower room, the aforementioned dining room and kitchen and a conservatory on this level. There is a galleried landing above the dining room with useful storage under, with two double bedrooms accessed here. The nature of the layout means that the accommodation is very versatile - the ground floor bedroom could easily be used as a third recpetion room.

The property benefits from a large driveway with space for several cars and a detached garage with double doors beyond this. Gates open onto steps that lead up to the house, with sloping lawns to either side, stocked with mature and established planting. A paved terrace at the front of the house is the perfect spot to sit and take in the spectacular view over the Woodchester Valley. Steps lead up past the side of the house to the rear garden, where a useful shed and a gravel area sit directly behind the conservatory. From here, steps rise into the rear garden, which stretches up away from the house with sloping lawns leading to a level terrace with stone wall surround and a paved seating area -ideal for outdoor furniture and a wonderful spot to enjoy the view. The garden continues upward, well stocked with mature trees and edged with established hedging, with a low maintenance barked area at the very top of the plot. In all, the plot extends to 0.331 acres - a truly generous outside space to match the quality of the home.

Amberley is rightly recognised as one of the best places to live with the five valleys of Stroud. It has a friendly community, and the benefit of a well regarded primary school, a village 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. Nearby 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 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.
