Glebe Road, Minchinhampton, GL6

This ex-local authority semi detached family home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering a peaceful lifestyle near hundreds of acres of National Trust common land. Presented in good condition throughout, the home is within walking distance of the charming market town of Minchinhampton. The spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall, complete with built-in pull-out storage drawers under the stairs. At the front of the house is a cosy sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove, while at the rear, a social kitchen/dining room provides access to a conservatory that opens onto an enclosed garden.

The open plan front garden features a lawn and flower beds, with a side gate leading to a level garden with patio - perfect for entertaining. The fenced boundaries make this outdoor space ideal for children or pets. The property also includes a single garage with an adjacent parking space.

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.
