Britain is an individual detached house situated at the top of a track in the popular Woodchester area. This location is set away from main road traffic and is surrounded by fields, whilst still being well placed for local amenities. Hundreds of acres of National Trust land are found up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons, and Woodchester primary school, which received an ‘outstanding’ rating in the most recent Ofsted report, is 0.6 miles away. The property was built in 1933, with a rendered exterior and pitched tiled roof. It has been in the same ownership for many years, and is now in need of renovation, but offers prospective buyers the chance to create a special home to their own standard. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. A sun lounge/porch, entrance hall, two reception rooms and a kitchen are on the ground floor. A landing, bathroom, and three bedrooms are on the first floor. Most of the windows enjoy a pleasant outlook, and the property is offered to the market with no onward chain.
The property benefits from an attached 18’ garage and parking found to the side of the house. Britain enjoys a large plot. The property is currently unregistered, so we are unsure of the exact size, but the garden is generous by any standard, predominately stretching out behind and to the side of the house and measures approx 0.45 acres. It borders fields, with a super outlook, with the famous stone folly at Amberley in clear view. There are mature trees dotted throughout the plot, and an old block built outbuilding. There is space here to extend the property, subject to planning permission, but the owner has asked us to point out that the local settlement boundary runs through the garden. They have taken advice from a local architect however, who apparently feels it may be possible to build a second dwelling if the planning application was based on the Paragraph 79/80 basis.
Woodchester includes North and South Woodchester. There is a post office/store, a thriving pub, and a well regarded primary school. Woodchester lies equidistant between both Stroud and Nailsworth which benefits from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of very well regarded restaurants. Bus services connect with Stroud, some two miles away where there is a more comprehensive selection of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (2 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
