Description

Churchend Farmhouse is a most attractive Georgian, Grade II Listed residence situated in a lovely semi-rural village setting, ideal for access to Gloucester and Bristol. This fascinating home incorporates various architectural styles and offers both the opportunity for a substantial family home or, as is currently the case, a successful B&B. Believed to date back to the 18th century, many features remain including exposed beams, fireplaces, bay windows and so much more. Situated in part walled level gardens the property offers adaptable family accommodation arranged over three floors. The fabulous entrance hall gives a taste of what is to come with traditional tiled floors leading to the sitting room, snug, dining room and as you would expect, a good-size farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with wood-burning stove and a range of fitted appliances. The family room located to the side of the kitchen, easily doubles up as a ground floor bedroom with en-suite facilities. A boot room at the rear of the house provides access to the gardens, garage, outbuildings and parking area with parking for several vehicles.

The grand staircase leads to the first floor where there are four bedrooms (two with en-suites), family bathroom and dressing room/interconnecting room. Each room offers its own unique style and feeling, some with bay windows and feature fireplaces, and others with pretty window seats. On the second floor there are a total of three bedrooms, exposed beams and a full bathroom suite.

Location

The village of Slimbridge sits on predominantly level lands to the south-west of Stroud within the Severn Vale. The nearby area is popular for country walks including the tow-path meandering along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Attractions locally include the Wildfowl and Wetlands trust, founded by Sir Peter Scott, Berkeley Castle, and Cattle Country Adventure Park. The nearby village of Cam offers a range of day to day facilities including supermarket, doctors, dentists and café whilst the market town of Dursley (approximately 4 miles away) has a more extensive range of schools including a secondary school, numerous supermarkets and independent shops together with extensive eating and leisure facilities. The popular ‘Stinchcombe Hill’ golf course spans the hilltops above the town, also a popular area for equine enthusiasts.

The property is ideally located for the M5/M4 corridor and the A38 with Cam railway station just a couple of miles away offering regular access to Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol. The towns of Stroud and Stonehouse are the nearest stations for direct access to London Paddington.
