4 bed detached house for sale

The Cross, Nympsfield, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire GL10

St Michaels is a particularly appealing detached family home, individually built and occupying a wonderfully central position within the sought-after village of Nympsfield.
Set within beautifully established and lovingly tended gardens, the property enjoys an open outlook across the adjoining countryside and offers a rare combination of space, versatility and tranquillity.
Cherished by the same family since the mid-1980s, St Michaels has been thoughtfully improved and extended over the years to create a generous and adaptable home, ideally suited to modern family life.
Upon entering, an enclosed porch leads into a spacious reception hall, with exposed floorboards and a staircase rising to the first floor.
The large lounge/dining room provides a wonderful heart to the home, with exposed Cotswold stone fireplace with wood-burning stove creating an inviting focal point. French doors open into the conservatory, allowing natural light to flow through and providing a lovely connection with the gardens beyond.
The ground floor also offers excellent flexibility. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a comfortable snug, although it could equally serve as a bedroom, playroom or additional reception space. The fitted kitchen has sufficient space for a small dining table and leads through to an inner hallway, which provides access to the study and ground-floor shower room.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom enjoying far-reaching views across the open fields. The room also benefits from plentiful eaves storage.
There is a further generous double bedroom, again with useful eaves storage, while the third bedroom features a large skylight window, additional eaves storage and an adjoining dressing room. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the gardens are a real highlight of St Michaels.
Approached through a five-bar gate, the long driveway provides generous parking and leads to the detached double garage. The level gardens wrap around the house and have been carefully established over many years, creating a wonderfully mature and private setting.
The gardens include areas of lawn, beautifully stocked and established flower borders, vegetable beds, mature trees and a wildlife pond. There are numerous areas in which to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
For those who enjoy outdoor entertaining, there is a timber deck, substantial patio and adjoining composite decking area, providing a choice of spaces for summer gatherings, family meals or simply relaxing and enjoying the gardens.
There is also plenty of room for children to play, making the outside space particularly well suited to family life.
A more recent addition is the timber-clad garden room, which provides an exceptionally versatile space. Perfectly suited to a home office, studio, hobby room or entertaining space, it adds another valuable dimension to the property.
A Wonderful Family Home, St Michaels is a rare opportunity to acquire an individual detached home in one of the area’s most desirable village locations.
