2 bed terraced house for sale

Point Road, Avening GL8

Folly Row is a charming Cotswold stone cottage, tucked away from passing traffic and presented to an exceptional standard throughout. The property has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, with considerable care taken to retain and complement its cottage character. The result is a comfortable and well finished home combining traditional features with more contemporary touches. The entrance hall has a built-in bench providing a practical space for coats and shoes and leads through to the dining room, which sits at the heart of the ground floor accommodation. A cloakroom/WC is also accessed from the hall. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and a feature stained glass window, while the sitting room is a particularly lovely room with windows overlooking the garden and a cast iron wood burning stove creating an attractive focal point.

Stairs from the dining room lead to a spacious landing, which is large enough to provide additional space for a study or reading nook. The spacious principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes and a large storage cupboard. The second bedroom is also a double, and the accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.

The delightful gardens lie to the front of the cottage and have been beautifully landscaped, with a level lawn, well stocked flower beds and a secluded seating area. A workshop with power and light provides useful additional space for storage, hobbies or use as a home workspace.

Avening enjoys a thriving community and is surrounded by stunning countryside offering an abundance of walks just moments from the cottage. There is a busy pub with an Indian menu, primary school, village hall, church, pre-school playgroup, and a well used playing field. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the nearby towns of Nailsworth and Tetbury both about 3 miles away. There are two good local golf courses, one on Minchinhampton Common with 580 acres of National Trust land that provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities. The M4 and M5 motorways and railway stations at Stroud (7 miles) and Kemble (8 miles) offer convenient transport links to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
