Box Crescent, Minchinhampton, GL6

This well presented 1930's semi detached house is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoys lovely views across open fields and the valley beyond. The property has been well maintained and offers comfortable, well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. An enclosed entrance porch opens into the hall, with the kitchen/dining room to one side and sitting room to the other. The kitchen/dining room is a good sized room fitted with a range of wall and base units, with a door providing direct access to the rear garden. An understairs cupboard houses the boiler and provides additional storage. The sitting room is particularly well proportioned, with windows to both the front and rear and a modern fireplace with coal effect fire. The front window makes the most of the lovely outlook across the fields and valley beyond. The first floor offers three bedrooms together with the family bathroom. The two front bedrooms are both good sized doubles and enjoy lovely views across the fields and valley, while the third bedroom is also a double and overlooks the rear garden. The family bathroom is well proportioned and fitted with a bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage.

To the front of the property is a generous level garden enclosed by wrought iron railings, with established borders and a variety of mature planting. Double wrought iron gates provide access into the garden, with potential to create off road parking subject to obtaining any necessary permissions and the installation of a dropped kerb. Gated side access continues around to the rear garden. The gardens continue around the side of the house before opening into the main rear garden, which is a particularly good size. Established borders and mature trees and shrubs provide attractive screening, while the rear section enjoys an open outlook across the adjoining fields. A paved seating area immediately outside the kitchen provides space for a table and chairs, with a further hardstanding area towards the rear offering space for a garden shed or additional outside storage.

The ancient Cotswold town of Minchinhampton is close by and provides a selection of local facilities including post office, butcher, grocer and restaurants in addition to a doctors’ surgery, library and well regarded primary school. Minchinhampton Common, extending to some 600 acres largely vested in the National Trust, lies on one side of the town, whilst on the other side there is a spectacular series of deep wooded valleys providing delightful walks. More extensive facilities are available in Nailsworth and Stroud, which are both within four miles. Stroud train station provides regular services to London Paddington and junctions of the M4 and M5 Motorways are also within easy reach.
