## Description

Jonathans is an individual detached property situated in a super location at sought after Selsley West. This first class semi rural position borders open land and enjoys a superb aspect and open view across the valley and the Severn Vale, with shops and amenities still within easy reach. The property has been extended in the past and has been the subject of further improvement during the current owners tenure, with well presented, spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. A porch, airy entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, 19' kitchen/breakfast room, 15’ sitting room with fireplace with inset wood burning stove, dining room and two bedrooms, both with en suite facilities, are on the ground floor. A staircase leads  to the first floor, with a landing, bathroom and two bedrooms (one with a balcony) found on this level. There is a large double garage on the lower ground floor of the property, and this could perhaps be converted to provide further accommodation, an annexe, or a great work from home space, subject to the relevant consent and permission.

The spacious accommodation is complemented by parking, gardens and the integral double garage. There are two areas of gated parking, on either side of the property. The front driveway has space to park several vehicles. The lower drive is wider, with parking for several vehicles and access to the garage. There is an area of lawn to the side of the house, with planted beds and a summerhouse, with the majority of the garden at the rear of the house. There is a level lawn here, and this is enclosed with hedging. Five wide steps lead up to the rear property entrance, with a lovely paved sitting area in front of the sitting room – the perfect spot for a table and chairs and to sit and enjoy the view and sun set. There is a further area of garden at the north east side of the house, with doors out from the dining room, and a shed.

Selsley West is a popular residential area between King’s Stanley and Selsley. There is a good pub in Selsley, with Sainsburys just down the road, and the villages of King's Stanley and neighbouring Leonard Stanley benefit from shops, a Co-op and two good schools, with straight forward access to the motorway also close by. Stonehouse is approximately a mile distant and offers a good range of shops and amenities within its level High Street with primary and secondary schools also within the vicinity. Stonehouse railway station offers a direct line to London (Paddington). Junction 13 of the M5 motorway is approximately two miles distant with a wider range of shops available in the towns of Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
