Description

DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS DETACHED PERIOD HOME WITH SPLIT LEVEL ACCOMMODATION OFFERING ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS IN EASTCOMBE OVER OPEN COUNTRYSIDE.

Entrance porch, Kitchen/Dining Room, Sitting Room, Garden Room, Utility Room, Ground Floor Shower Room, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Landscaped Gardens, Double Garage, Parking, Car Port, NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Description - This deceptively spacious detached period home offers fabulous splt level space with an open plan feel. With arguably one of the best views in Eastcombe over open fields and beyond, Glenview offers the very best of village life with a countryside feel. As illustrated on the floorplan, the accommodation comprises; entrance porch, kitchen/dining room, utility, ground floor shower room, sitting room with wood burning stove and picturesque garden room. The kitchen, utility and shower room all benefit from underfloor heating. On the first floor, the master bedroom is definitely the one for the view as it sits over the garden room . Adjoining this is the family bathroom. Three other bedrooms are located on this level, two with en-suite showers.

Terraced, landscaped gardens are found on the approach to the property with a lovely seating area accessed from the kitchen. A smaller seating area and outbuilding are located on the opposite side offering a tranquil space to sit and enjoy the view. At street level, the property offers off-street parking for several vehicles, together with a double garage and carport/woodstore.

Directions - The property is located by leaving Stroud on the A419 in the direction of Cirencester. Continue through the village of Brimscombe and turn left onto the Toadsmoor Road signposted to Bisley, Chalford Hill, Brownshill, Bussage and Eastcombe. At the top of Toadsmoor Hill take the first left into Eastcombe. Continue along Dr Crouch’s Road for a short distance where the property can be found on the left hand side.

Location - Glenview Cottage has a very desirable location, tucked away from view yet within easy walking distance of the centre of the village with its general store/Post Office and traditional country pub - The Lamb Inn. Eastcombe is a thriving community popular with all ages, not least because it has its own excellent primary school as well as the ever popular Thomas Keble school (with additional sports facilities) but also its accessibility and glorious surroundings.

From here it is very easy to drop down into Stroud with its mainline station (London Paddington from 90 minutes), choice of supermarkets including a Waitrose and award winning Saturday Farmers' Market, while Cheltenham is immediately to the north and Cirencester to the east. Eastcombe is adjacent to the larger village of Chalford, the latter having a sports and social club (tennis, football and cricket), while Minchinhampton across the valley, has two golf clubs offering three challenging courses. Nearby public footpaths offer the opportunity to explore the surrounding valleys, each with their own distinctive character and timeless feel.
