Property description
OWNERS COMMENTS We have lived happily in this house for 23 years, and it is only because we are leaving the area that we are selling.
This house has wonderful views across the Avening valley, of glorious sunsets and of the ever-changing seasons.
During the summer months, we use the patio on the south-west side for eating, drinking and relaxing, in a wonderfully peaceful sunny and rural setting. In the winter we can still enjoy fine views, but from the side of the cosy wood-burning fire.
From Avening, you have a choice of fine walks without even taking the car. Also, you have a good choice of regular shopping in Tetbury, Nailsworth and Minchinhampton. You have the best of both worlds: semi rural, but a good selection of shops nearby.
THE PROPERTY Overdale is a very pleasantly situated individual detached four bedroom family house enjoying an elevated setting on the edge of the village with stunning westerly views down the valley towards Nailsworth.
The extended accommodation consists of entrance hall with walk-in cloaks cupboard and staircase to landing, there is a cloakroom with a modern white suite, the excellent sized lounge has a handsome carved stone traditional feature fireplace housing a Jetmaster grate, and windows to two aspects, there is an excellent sized dining room, a light oak fitted kitchen, whilst at first floor level the landing provides access to the four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, another of the double bedrooms has the feature of a Juliet balcony. There is a family bathroom with a Heritage style suite.
The property benefits from gas fired radiator central heating, uPVC replacement windows, and the unusual feature of two very useful cellars under the main reception rooms.
