Wotton-under-Edge, GL12

This lovely character home started life as part of a woollen mill, on the west side of Dyers Brook, the small river that runs through the middle of Wotton-under-Edge. The original mill was sub-divided and converted into two dwellings, this part now forming a spacious four-bedroom home laid out over four floors, with a large cellar below. Under its current ownership, the property has been lovingly cared for, thoughtfully updated, and improved throughout. To name a few, recent enhancements include new double-glazed windows and redecoration and carpets, resulting in a beautifully presented home that is ready for its new owner to move in and enjoy. Working from the ground floor up, there are entrance halls at each end, with a dual-aspect living room running front to rear - a spacious yet cosy space to sit by the wood-burning stove on those chillier days. There is also a cloakroom on this level and a door leading down to the cellar below. On the first floor, a smart fitted kitchen/dining/family room runs front to rear, with elevated views from the windows and some nice exposed stonework. The family bathroom is beautifully apointed, with both a roll-top bath for enjoying a good old soak in, plus a separate shower cubicle for convenience. Three bedrooms share the third floor landing, with a door opening out from a further staircase that leads up to the stunning principal bedroom in the attic, which has exposed beams and purlins, twin windows and twin skylights - letting light flood in. On the north side of the house there is gated off street parking and a generously proportioned garage. This area is split with the adjoining house. On the south side is a pretty cottage garden and al-fresco seating area, perfect for summer meals and drinks. Stepping out of the garden gate, a few metres along the lane, there is a separate area of garden, on two levels, the lower part dropping down to the side of Dyers Brook - a secluded spot to perhaps while away some time with a book (see map insert for details).  If seclusion, character, space and adaptability are some of your 'watch-words', do come and take a look!
