DESCRIPTION
Fir Tree House offers a spacious Cotswold stone family home in a wonderful elevated location, bordering Rodborough Common. A handsome porch opens to a good-sized reception hall with the original Victorian tiled floor setting the tone to the remainder of this charming period property.
The two front facing reception rooms overlook the garden and common, providing ample room for both relaxing and entertaining. Large windows allow for plentiful natural light and a lovely sense of space. A fireplace creates a warming focal point to the sitting room, ideal for cosy evenings at home and a window seat provides the perfect spot to relax with a book and soak up the pretty aspect over Rodborough Common. There is a separate dining room for more formal entertaining, again with a wonderful large window overlooking the garden.
The kitchen is set to the rear of the house with a pretty outlook over the back garden and the valley beyond. Fitted cream units provide ample discreet storage, along with plentiful preparation space.
A useful utility/back kitchen, is ideal for keeping laundry out of sight with its own access to the rear of the house and leading to bedroom five above. There is a downstairs shower room with WC; this wing of the house would work well as a self-contained annexe.
A spacious boot room ideal for muddy boots and country paraphernalia completes the ground floor. The back door has a covered walkway to the garage and office.
The principal bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase in the entrance hall, with two first floor en-suite bedrooms and a further two bedrooms on the second floor. The main bedroom also has a walk-through dressing room to its bathroom. Both of the first floor bedrooms benefit from lovely views over Rodborough Common. A study is also located on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is accessed via a separate staircase from the utility room.
Outside, a large workshop/garage, provides useful storage leading to a separate large office for working from home. The garden envelopes the property with the rear garden gently sloping and offering magnificent far reaching views looking towards Stroud, Painswick, Slad and Bisley. A large shed at the bottom of the garden provides additional storage. The east facing garden attracts all day sun and is well-stocked with fruit trees and a choice of areas to relax and soak up the glorious panorama, ideal for alfresco entertaining. Gated gravel parking for several cars is positioned to the side of the house.
