Idyllically positioned within a very peaceful hamlet between Tetbury and Minchinhampton, a four-bedroom detached home that has been lovingly updated in recent years and is accompanied by surrounding gardens.
Spring Cottage is a detached family home situated in the picturesque hamlet of Nags Head, just on the outskirts of nearby Avening. The property is understood to date back to the 1970’s, but the current owners have updated key aspects of it throughout their ownership to now offer a well-presented and practical home to the market. The property is presented in excellent decorative order throughout with both the family bathroom and downstairs cloakroom being refurbished in the last few years, as well as attractive flush casement double glazing fitted throughout. There is still great scope and potential to enlarge the property further if a buyer desired, subject to the relevant permissions, but is also very much a turnkey, ready to go home.
Entering via the front door leads into the entrance hallway, where there is a handy downstairs cloakroom to the left-hand side, a door to the sitting room and to the right is staircase to the first floor with upgraded oak handrails posts and spindles, finished with an edged sisal carpet runner that continues through the hallway and landing. The sitting room is a spacious living area with a focal stone fireplace that has a wood burner installed, making it a comfortable space for any time of year. The room is filled with natural light owing to its dual aspect, which includes French doors to the rear garden, and engineered oak flooring has been fitted throughout the space. To one corner of the room, an opening naturally flows into the dining room, which also has a dual aspect overlooking the rear and side gardens. Beside this is the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of shaker style wall and base units and provides space and plumbing for the expected appliances. Completing the ground floor is a rear lobby accessed from the kitchen, which has space for coat and shoe storage and a door to the garden.
Rising to the first floor there is a central landing that provides access to the four bedrooms, all of which enjoy a dual aspect and have been recently decorated. Three of the bedrooms are of double proportions and two benefit built-in storage cupboards, whilst the fourth is a single that is currently used as a home office. There is scope to create an en-suite shower room for the master bedroom, by some reconfiguring the built-in cupboards. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, which is finished in a white suite with a shower over the bath, a sink inset to a vanity storage unit and a W.C. The room is tiled with contemporary tiling and has a plantation shutter fitted to the window.
Spring Cottage is centrally positioned within its plot, which creates useable areas to all sides of the property and from most of the garden there is a pleasant outlook across the neighbouring woodland and valley. On arrival there is a driveway along the left side of the house, which will comfortably park up to five cars, as well as a detached single garage that has both power and lighting.
Sweeping along the remaining three sides of the house are landscaped gardens that include lawn areas, planted borders and rockeries as well as a raised patio terrace which is ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining, complete with that impressive view across the adjacent valley. Underneath the terrace, and behind the garage, is another useful covered area for either storage or could be transformed into a further entertaining space or even additional accommodation/a home office, if desired.
We understand the property is connected to mains electricity, drainage and water. The central heating is fired by oil. Council tax band F (Cotswold District Council). The property is freehold.
EPC – D(59).
The popular village of Avening has a strong sense of community. There is a pub called The Bell which also incorporates a very popular Indian restaurant/takeaway, a highly regarded primary school and pre-school playgroup, a social club which is the home of the weekly community café, and a Norman church. There are a whole host of beautiful walks, cycling and riding opportunities on the doorstep and Minchinhampton golf course is on the outskirts of the village, just a short walk from Spring Cottage
Nearby Tetbury is a historic Wool town situated within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is known for its Royal association to HM King Charles III, who resides at nearby Highgrove House, and HRH Princess Anne at Gatcombe Park Estate. It has a highly anticipated and well attended, annual Woolsack Race held each May on Gumstool Hill.
The immediate area is well served by a great selection of primary and secondary schools, in both state and private capacity.
Kemble station, a mainline to London Paddington, can be reached just c.7 miles North, and both the M4 and M5 are equidistant to the south and west, respectively, giving convenient transport links to Bath, Bristol and London.
