DESCRIPTION
12 Well Hill is a delightful Grade II listed cottage, believed to have formed part of a Coaching Inn dating back c.200 years. What immediately distinguishes it from so many other period cottages in Minchinhampton are its spacious rooms, high ceilings and abundance of natural light. The front door leads to an inner porch which in turn opens into a welcoming and spacious hall which is filled with light thanks to an original leaded inner window. The large open-plan sitting and dining room is full of period features including original sash windows, a pretty window seat, fireplace with wood burning stove and double patio doors with direct access to the private rear courtyard. To the rear of the property a more recent single storey extension has created space for the well appointed kitchen with range cooker and additional access to the courtyard garden. There is also a ground floor guest cloakroom adjacent. On the first floor an unexpectedly spacious principal bedroom with two original sash windows and feature beam along with plenty of built in storage continue the warm and welcoming feel of this property. A large Jack and Jill bathroom, with window overlooking the garden, is accessed from both this bedroom and the hallway. There is also a pretty second double bedroom found on this floor.
The rear west-facing courtyard garden is a tranquil haven with well stocked and colourful boarders, a mature feature Acer tree and two patio areas with plenty of space for table and chairs, perfect for entertaining. There is also a useful stone store and woodstore.
GENERAL INFORMATION
