DESCRIPTION
Hawthorns offers a unique opportunity to renovate a truly historic Queen Anne home, together with 2/3 annexes, in a fabulous location. Filled with magnificent period features, this substantial family home is just waiting for the next chapter in its rich history, to be written. Gated access leads off a quiet country lane, with steps down to the main entrance. Opening into a reception hall, the kitchen/breakfast room leads off one side of the reception hall and the dining room to the other. Both rooms are front facing and filled with light and the dining room has a stunning flagstone floor and large feature fireplace. Two further reception rooms are positioned to the rear of the house, together with a conservatory; all of these rooms offer breath-taking views over the Stroud Valley. Trough Cottage (annexe 1) is adjoined to the main house via a rear inner hall, logically lending itself to be combined into the main house, providing a further reception room plus utility/back kitchen and an additional bedroom/bathroom/dressing room on the first floor (subject to the necessary planning consent). Four first floor bedrooms lead off the dining room (2 en-suite) together with a family bathroom with a further 2/3 bedrooms on the second floor, or alternatively a library/home office. The garden is set to the rear of the property and offers extraordinarily stunning views across the Stroud Valley. Gently sloping, the garden stretches as far as the eye can see, with mature trees and a useful outbuilding. Three garages sit roadside to the front of the house.
Two further one bed annexes offer the potential to generate an income or provide an ideal set-up for multi-generational living.

After circa one mile, Hawthorns will be found on the right.
