DESCRIPTION
The exclusive nature of Pipers Mead owes much to the privacy and seclusion of its position, set within extensive level grounds fronting Rodborough Common. On rounding the corner and catching the first glimpse of Pipers Mead, the uniqueness of this home is immediately apparent. Well presented and discreetly screened from the neighbouring properties, Pipers Mead is a truly adaptable home. The perfect venue for entertaining, it also makes a great family home. There are four principal reception rooms plus a large conservatory, fitted kitchen with Aga and breakfast room, an impressive entrance hall and the usual domestic offices. Upstairs the master bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite guest bedroom plus two further double bedrooms and a further bathroom. Immediately adjacent to the house is a double garage and workshop, plus WC, with obvious potential to be incorporated into the living space (subject to planning). Pipers Mead has the great advantage of sitting centrally within its level plot, flanked by lawns, topiary and well stocked borders, providing ample space for children to enjoy, as well as alfresco entertaining.

LOCATION
The Hithe is one of the most sought after addresses in the Stroud Valleys. Set high up on the escarpement, this private road is flanked by many exceptional properties, of which Pipers Mead is arguably one of the best. A peaceful oasis surrounded by the natural rugged beauty of Rodborough Common, The Hithe is a friendly inclusive commuity, popular both with families and the retired. Ideally located with good services, schools and communications, The Hithe is within 2 hours of London and 50 minutes to Bristol, with good train services to both. Neighbouring Minchinhampton is a historic market town while Stroud has a Waitrose store and an award winning Farmers Market. Beaudesert Park pre and prep school is immediately across the Common and Wycliffe College, Westonbirt and Stroud's two Grammar schools - Marling and The High, are also within easy reach. Neighbouring Minchinhampton Common hosts one of three challenging golf courses in the immediate vicinity and there are also numerous other local sports clubs with junior sections and an excellent choice of good places to eat out, including Calcot Manor with its Conservatory restaurant and popular Spa.

GENERAL INFORMATION
There is a Residents Association for The Hithe, dealing with matters of common interest. The location is part of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

DIRECTIONS
The property is found by leaving Stroud on the A46 in the Nailsworth direction and turning left shortly after the mini roundabout, up Rodborough Hill towards the Common. At the top of the hill proceed across the Common in the direction of Minchinhampton and shortly after a sharp left hand bend (as the road straightens out once more), the entrance to The Hithe is on the right; the driveway to Pipers Mead is the third on the right.
