There is a good sized utility room to the rear of the kitchen, with ample space for boots and coats and access to the garden. The piece de resistance of the house has to be it's sitting room; a large room with a unique cone shaped feature fireplace as its focal point, this contemporary space has fabulous valley views to Aston Down as well as views of the garden. A fabulous home office leads off the sitting room with a glazed partition, creating a large and light filled home working environment.

All of the bedrooms have ample built-in storage.

The house is enveloped by its own grounds, extending to more than half an acre of largely level lawn with a secluded gravel seating area. The rear boundary has the original wrought iron railings, thought to have originally been built for the historic Kingscourt House, prior to the modern day Bownham Park development. There is a double garage, and ample parking.
LOCATION
Bownham Park is a prestigious private development of individual houses in a fabulous location on Rodborough Common. The common offers over 600 acres of glorious National Trust land and also plays host to a popular golf course. The market towns of Stroud, Minchinhampton, Nailsworth and Cirencester are all nearby, offering an abundance of independent retailers, restaurants and pubs as well as local shops. The Bear Inn is within walking distance of 30 Bownham Park. Nearby Stroud has several major supermarkets, as well as a cinema and award winning Farmers Market. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector. Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham all have sought after grammar schools and in the private sector, Beaudesert Park school is only a short walk away, across the common.
London is circa 2 hours by road or 90 minutes from Stroud mainline station and the M5 is also easily accessible (circa 15 minutes drive from Bownham Park).
