Description

Tucked away at the end of a secluded road, 5 Deans Quarry offers the rare opportunity to put your individual stamp on a substantial family home in a large plot with far reaching valley views. Within easy walking distance of Minchinhampton Common and its popular market town with pub, cafes and shops, the property offers a lifestyle as much as a home. Enveloped by its own large garden, the house is accessed via a gated path leading to the pretty front door with porch over. Opening into a spacious reception hall with teak parquet flooring, the house has an instantly welcoming and spacious vibe. The kitchen is directly opposite the reception hall, a light-filled room overlooking the rear garden with ample space for a dining table. A utility room and good sized conservatory lead off the kitchen. Access to the double garage can be gained from the conservatory. Leading off the kitchen is a large music room and this wing of the house naturally lends itself for conversion to a self contained annexe with the music room already having its own external access. The sitting room is located at the opposite end of the house, a lovely room with unique character features including aged beams and a fireplace built from stone reclaimed from the old Red Lion pub in Kings Stanley, near Stroud. The dining room is located between the kitchen and sitting room, offering lovely views over the rear garden.

An elm staircase provides access to the first floor with a spacious landing and five double bedrooms. The principal suite has far reaching views across the garden and beyond, together with an en-suite shower room and access to a good sized attic room. Currently used for storage, the attic room has the potential to convert to a sixth bedroom or potential annexe bedroom if the ground floor space were to be converted. There is also a family shower room plus family bathroom at this level.

The real joy of 5 Deans Quarry however lies in both its location and size of plot. Gently sweeping lawns surround the house, predominantly to the side of the property, with wonderful far reaching views in all directions, from Painswick Beacon to Rodborough Fort and Common. The garden is enclosed with a paddock and ponies belonging to the neighbouring property at the bottom of the garden. There is a double garage plus ample parking for several cars.
