Property description
The interior is complemented by having a good-size south facing garden accessed via the sides of the house or from the kitchen/dining room. The garden is split between a patio seating area immediately out from the kitchen, a lawn area and a further seating terrace at the bottom of the garden with various planted borders around. The garage can be accessed via a side door and up and over door with driveway parking for two cars to the front.
The area is popular for its mix of beautiful countryside and convenient amenities, which includes schools, pubs and several lovely playing fields. People have been calling this area home for at least 5,000 years, but it really developed in the 16th century when many of the stone cottages were built illegally to house cloth workers from the mills expanding in the valley below. Bussage is a village of two parts - the older part with the church and the lovely traditional Cotswold pub, the Ram Inn, while the newer part is home to a large estate of about 900 homes, built in the 1980s around Manor Farm, with road names such as Tanglewood Way and Cuckoo Close that belie its rural history. The area was once thickly wooded - Frith Wood, a 19-acre wood to the south of the estate with public access, is a small remaining part. A small shopping centre on the estate includes Tesco Express, Boots Pharmacy, a doctors’ surgery and a community centre, while there is a dentists’ surgery and petrol station at nearby Fourways. The parish church of Bussage was founded by Thomas Keble, who gave his name to the local secondary school, which has a leisure centre and gym open to the community and a range of facilities which can be hired. Bussage also has its own primary school. There are lots of lovely walks in the area, including Toadsmoor Lake and Dimmel’s Dale nature reserve. The larger town of Stroud (4 miles) has a direct train line to London and an award-winning farmers’ market.
'Vendor's Comment'
"Facing South in the rear garden, i'll bathe you in sunlight throughout the day, and during the cooler months when the temperature falls, i'll keep you toasty warm with my wood burning stove. In the last 17 years i've proudly witnessed the infants become adults and have survived many Star Wars Lego battles, some won, some lost. Now they have fledged, i'm ready to welcome my next family"
