3 bed detached house for sale

Butterrow Lane, Stroud GL5

Greenways is an individual detached property situated in a lovely elevated position on Butterrow Lane with views across the valley. This quiet country lane is set just below hundreds of acres of National Trust land of Rodborough and Minchinhampton Commons yet is still well placed for the shops and amenities of Stroud. The property was built in the 1950's using traditional methods under a pitched roof and has been a happy, comfortable home for the current owners for some 13 years. They have improved Greenways during their ownership and the resulting property is interesting and flexible, and could suit lots of different types of buyers, with well presented accommodation arranged over split levels.

You walk into a long entrance hall with two windows looking out at the front across the valley. A 15' sitting room is on the northerly side of the house, and this room has a double aspect and a wood burning stove. A 15' kitchen/dining room is at the other end of the hall, and this also benefits from a double aspect, with the southerly outlook across fields to woodland and the common of particular merit. A door from this room leads to a double glazed conservatory and the current owners have furnished this space with both a dining table and a sofa. The bathroom is just off the hall, which then leads around past the sitting room and the third bedroom to step up to the other two bedrooms. The windows at the rear of the property look out on to the garden, so there's a pleasant, green outlook from every window. An interesting, considered home - viewing strongly recommended.

The property benefits from off road parking for two cars and a large garden with a workshop/studio. The parking is at the front of the house, with space here for two vehicles. Steps lead up through a well planted area to the front door. Side access leads around to the rear garden, with steps leading up behind the conservatory to the rear garden. This private area is well kept, with a level lawn edged with mature borders stocked with a variety of trees and established shrubs. A couple of steps lead up to a pretty paved area - the ideal spot for a table and chair set. There is a 18' workshop/studio here, with power and light and a wood burning stove, although the latter has not been tested by the owner. Also on this area is a good sized greenhouse. Tucked away behind this is another good area of garden. This is a productive growing area, with raised beds, a fruit cage and espalier fruit trees.

The property is situated on a country lane approximately a mile and a half from Stroud. Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons are a short walk up the hill. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
