2 bed cottage for sale

Box, Stroud GL6

A pretty Cotswold Stone detached cottage set back from the road in the sought-after village of Box, with a terraced garden offering spectacular views.

Description

Goose Nest Cottage is a pretty natural stone and stone tiled detached cottage which enjoys an elevated position and wonderful southerly views. Located in the heart of Box Village moments from National Trust Common and Box Woods. The property offers unexpectedly large accommodation arranged over two floors which is full of character and period charm.

Set back off a quiet lane accessed via a footpath, a pretty wooden gate framed by a mature Yew tree leads through to the property. A spacious and private front courtyard, useful as an external entertaining area leads to both the front door and sitting room via double doors. Off the central hallway to one side of the property is a bright and spacious kitchen with shaker style units and an aga. Flagstone flooring extends from this room through to the dining room beyond which also benefits from a feature open fireplace.

To the other side of the ground floor is the beamed, double height 20ft sitting room with a stone fireplace and modern wood burner. An intelligently designed mezzanine/galleried landing above this is a versatile space which was previously used as a study with double doors leading to the back garden. There is also a ground floor WC and attached to the rear of the property is a utility room accessed externally from the garden.

On the first floor off an unexpectedly spacious landing are the two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The space offered by the central landing could easily be used as additional storage area or home office etc.

The terraced rear garden accessed via the ground floor or the mezzanine is well established and cleverly designed to make the most of the wonderful far reaching views. A patio on the top terrace overlooks the rooftops of Box and is the perfect spot to enjoy the summer evenings and sunsets. There is also a separate gate back to the footpath and a useful stone woodstore.

Nearby, further down the lane the property also benefits from a garage and an off-street parking space directly in front.
