About this property

On the market for the first time in 50 years, this handsome detached house has true kerb appeal offering generous accommodation and an abundance of character features.

This elegant family house is believed to have been built in 1932 using hand-dressed stone with a stone tiled roof and mullion windows housing leaded-lights all of which lend the house the character of a traditional Cotswold manor house. The traditional craftsmanship continues inside with oak joinery, exposed beams, flagstone flooring and a most impressive oak galleried staircase.

The principal ground floor accommodation is comprised of a sitting room with exposed beams, an Inglenook fireplace and elm flooring; a dining room with a bay window overlooking the gardens and a carved stone fireplace flanked by storage cupboards; a breakfast room and pantry with slate shelves and a kitchen fitted with cream units topped by hardwood surfaces and a Britannia range. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite shower room with three further bedrooms and a study served by a family bathroom and separate WC. A versatile family games room, further bedroom and walk-in attic store are on the second floor.

Outside
The south-west aspect gardens are a great feature with paved terraces adjacent to the house incorporating an ornamental pond, formal lawns with low, dry stone walls and larger lawns through which paths wind between wildflowers and mature trees and shrubs. Standing elegantly above the lane, the house is approached on foot via steps and a path bordered by heathers with a cobbled drive leading to the parking and garaging.

Situation
Upton St Leonards is a thriving community at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment. The Village Hall and church are at the heart of the community along with local shops including award-winning Portway Farm Shop, a Post Office, playgroup and the Kings Head public house whilst two hotels offer alternative dining venues. The recreation field is home to many sports clubs with Gloucester City offering a full selection of recreational and retail facilities. There is a village primary school with nearby secondary schools including grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
