Description - Greenways is a rare find. A spacious and light-filled house in a breathtakingly beautiful location, with the potential to update and create a truly spectacular family home. The property opens into a central hallway with access to the main reception rooms plus a cloakroom. The kitchen is set to the rear of the house with magnificent views across the valley and comprises two linked rooms leading open-plan to a breakfast room. A blue Rayburn provides a focal point to the kitchen and large windows open to the sensational vista across the Stroud Valley. The sitting room spans the depth of the house and again benefits from magnificent views. An open-fire provides a warming focal point for the colder months. A dual aspect dining room with parquet flooring, offers ideal entertaining space with pretty views over the orchard and to the lane. A lower level utility room is accessed via a door leading externally from the back kitchen.

Four good sized bedrooms are located on the first floor, the principal with en-suite shower room. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out and all benefit from spectacular views, the two rear bedrooms overlooking Jacobs Knoll and the valley beyond and the front and side facing bedrooms overlooking the orchard and the lane.

The grounds at Greenways are an absolute delight. Totalling approximately 1.5 acres, the landscaped garden is made up of 'rooms' within the garden, with a choice of seating areas for different times of the day, an enclosed kitchen garden with greenhouse, a plethora of well-stocked borders and mature trees, including a stunning copper beech and fig tree. A dry stone wall boundary separates the garden from the common and a separate fenced orchard filled with apple, plum and quince trees, creates a magical play area for young children to explore. A gated driveway provides parking for several cars, together with a double garage.

From there take the 2nd turning on your left and the property can be found approximately 250 meters on your right hand side.



Location - The location of Greenways is one of its key attributes. Tucked away along a quiet country lane, bordering Jacobs Knoll Common, the property offers a tranquil haven of privacy and peace. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of National Trust common land, the location is ideal for country pursuits including walking, cycling and riding. Minchinhampton Common is just minutes away and is home to a popular golf course and also well-known for the cattle that freely graze in the summer months. Winstones ice cream, the Cotswolds own ice cream making factory, is within easy walking distance and the obvious choice for a weekend walk!
The market towns of Minchinhampton, Nailsworth and Stroud, are all within close proximity, offering excellent amenities, including a popular gastro-pub in Minchinhampton and numerous independent retailers, cafes and restaurants in Nailsworth. Stroud and Cirencester are also conveniently close, both with major Waitrose supermarkets and Stroud also has an award winning Saturday Farmers market.
One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the private and public sector. Beaudesert Park is within walking distance of Greenways and Westonbirt school in nearby Tetbury is circa 20 minutes drive. There are several sought after grammar schools in Stroud, as well as an excellent choice of schools in Gloucester and Cheltenham.
Burleigh is less than two hours from London by car or circa 90 minutes from nearby Stroud Station, while Bristol is within commuting distance and the M5 motorway is easily accessible (Junction 13)
