Burleigh, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5

The Reddings is a striking and substantial Cotswold stone home, discreetly positioned at the end of a no-through lane on the edge of the much sought-after Minchinhampton Common. Unlisted and believed to date from before 1912, the house combines classic architectural character with well-balanced, generously proportioned accommodation ideally suited to modern family living.
The house enjoys an exceptional setting, with far-reaching views across the Stroud Valley and over its own gardens and adjoining National Trust common land, providing a rare sense of privacy and openness.
Internally, the accommodation is both elegant and practical. A welcoming front door opens to a reception hall, from which the principal living spaces flow. The dining room, centred around a fireplace, connects to the well-appointed kitchen/ breakfast room, fitted with a range of appliances and an island unit. The adjoining conservatory creates a superb family and entertaining space, bathed in natural light and enjoying delightful views across the gardens and beyond. The drawing room offers a more formal reception area, while the extensive ancillary spaces, including a pantry, utility and boot room, provide excellent everyday functionality.
Bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with its own sitting room, complemented by a guest suite and further double bedrooms. The second floor offers excellent flexibility, including an additional suite, further bedrooms, and space ideally suited to a study or playroom.

Gardens and Grounds:
The Reddings is approached through automated gates leading to a spacious gravelled courtyard, flanked by attractive Cotswold stone outbuildings.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property, thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the setting. Immediately adjoining the house is a large paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, with sweeping views across the formal gardens and open countryside beyond.
The formal gardens lie predominantly to the rear of the property, with broad expanses of lawn bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds and shrubs, and interspersed with mature specimen trees. Beyond, two paddocks provide further amenity and enjoy separate access from a lower lane, offering versatility for a variety of uses.
A comprehensive range of outbuildings provides excellent ancillary accommodation, including garaging, workshops and storage. A studio above one of the garages offers further potential for creative or home-working use. Subject to the necessary consents, there is scope to adapt parts of the outbuildings for ancillary accommodation.
