Butterrow Hill, Stroud, GL5

2 Glenview Cottages is a terraced character home situated in an elevated location on Butterrow Hill. This position, just over a mile from the shops, amenities and train Station of Stroud, allows for a superb view over the valley to Thrupp and The Heavens beyond, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land at Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons found just up the hill. The property is built using traditional methods under pitched tiled roof with characterful accommodation arranged over two floors. It has been owned by our client for some 30 years and they have made many improvements to the property, including an extension at the front that has transformed the living space. 

The ground floor space is now open plan, with distinct connecting areas. You walk in through glazed double doors with a kitchen with integrated appliances on the left. There is plenty of space for a dining table on the right, in front of the window, with a sitting area beyond this. There is an open fire here, with stone mantlepiece. A shower room with contemporary fittings completes the ground floor. A central staircase leads up to the first floor, with two double bedrooms on this level. Both have vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, with a cast iron fireplace in the left hand room. The property has a great feel, and the windows at the front look out over the valley. Available with no onward chain - viewing highly recommended. 

The property is accessed via a narrow path that wends its way down the hillside, a short walk from where you can leave your car.
