4 bed detached house for sale

Friday Street, Minchinhampton, Stroud GL6

30 Friday Street is a beautifully presented Grade II Listed character property situated in an excellent position in a popular road in sought after Minchinhampton. This location is very much part of the thriving local community but is very private, with shops, amenities and a well regarded primary school on the doorstep and hundreds of acres of National Trust land at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons just up the road. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has been the subject of clever, considered extension and renovation in the recent past. Although it is technically attached to the neighbouring property, that link is only via a side hall, so you live in the property as you would with a detached house, with spacious accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, two reception rooms, utility room, shower room, side hall and a first class 21’ kitchen/family room with bi fold doors that open on to the garden are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the entrance hall to the first floor, with a landing, principal suite with 21' bedroom, shower room and dressing room, another double bedroom, study/dressing room and a bathroom on this level. Two further bedrooms and a shower room are at the top of the house. High quality fittings have been used throughout the property, and every room is tastefully presented. Offered to the market with no onward chain, 30 Friday Street represents a real opportunity for a lucky buyer - an appointment to view is highly recommended.

The property benefits from a level, established garden and, unusually for character property in Minchinhampton, both a detached garage and parking. The gated, gravelled parking area is to the side of the house, with the garage behind. This measures 24' x 13', and has power, light and a personal door at the rear. A gate in the fence leads through to the garden. This colourful, established area has clearly been carefully planned, with large paved area that stretches the entire length of the property, widening at either end, providing ample space for a table and chair or sofa set. A level lawn is beyond this, with a path that intersects the grass and leads around to the rear of the garage. The garden is edged by established borders stocked with a variety of plants, with colour and interest everywhere you look.

This ancient market town sits on the edge of Minchinhampton Common and is made up of pretty stone cottages, many dating back to the medieval wool trade. There is a weekly country market and charming cafes, as well as a butcher, grocer and post office. The town also has a doctors’ surgery, community library, well-regarded primary school and a stylish camra award-winning pub, The Crown Inn. There are breath-taking views from the common, which sits on the Cotswold escarpment, and offers a golf course and excellent walking, riding and gliding opportunities. The National Trust common is also known for its free-roaming horses and cows, rare orchids and butterflies – and is home to the famous Giffords Circus every summer. The town’s good looks have also attracted film crews and famous residents, including the Princess Royal, who lives at Gatcombe Park. More extensive facilities are available in nearby Nailsworth and Stroud. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (6 Miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London.
