About this property
A former brew house, this quirky, historic home offers spectacular southern and westerly views, with beautiful gardens.

The lower ground floor adds an en-suite bedroom with kitchen . A unique blend of heritage and botanical beauty.
Originally a local brew house, The Cottage is a property steeped in history that has evolved over the years into a delightfully quirky home full of character. Its true essence lies in its spectacular westerly views, which on a clear day allow you to see for miles across the landscape. The exterior is just as remarkable, featuring a stunning garden that was reportedly originally laid out by an expert from Kew Gardens. Steps lead down to a porch and an inner hall that connects the main living spaces, including a sitting room, dining room, and a bright conservatory. This level also houses a kitchen/breakfast room and a well-appointed bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. The upper floor provides two bedrooms and a shower room, with an additional bedroom on the top floor that could be used as a study. Further accommodation is found on the lower ground floor, which comprises a self contained suite which includes a bedroom with its own en-suite and a kitchen area. Combining a unique architectural heritage with an enviable botanical setting, this home offers a truly one-of-a-kind living experience.
Outside
The property features a garage with a dedicated parking space in front, complemented by a charming two-story stone outbuilding situated adjacent to the lane, which also provides an additional parking bay and benefits from solar panels. The gardens are a true highlight, offering spectacular seasonal colour during the spring and autumn. Much like the cottage itself, the outdoor space is thoughtfully arranged across several levels and is well-equipped for those with green fingers, featuring an array of flowers, plants and trees, a greenhouse, and various useful outbuildings including a games cabin.
Situation
Located in a small, quiet hamlet, near the desirable village of Amberley, this cottage boasts an elevated southern and westerly aspect with superb Woodchester Valley views. The village features a local shop, primary school, and easy access to both Nailsworth’s independent boutiques and Stroud’s mainline station (London in 95 mins). Nature lovers and golfers will appreciate the immediate proximity to 600 acres of open common land and three nearby courses. With Cirencester, Bath, and Cheltenham within easy reach, and London just two hours away by road, it’s a perfectly positioned retreat.
