Churchend, Eastington, GL10

Brook Cottage is a handsome semi detached character property on the edge of popular Eastington. This well regarded village has a shop, a good pub and a successful primary school, with country and canal-side walks just along the road. The property was originally built in the 1800’s using traditional methods under a pitched stone roof. It was subsequently extended, and has since been the subject of comprehensive improvement, with substantial, well presented accommodation arranged over two floors. A porch, 18’ sitting room, 18’ drawing room with Inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, study, snug, utility room, shower room, 19’ garden room and 19’ farmhouse style kitchen are on the ground floor. A landing, 19’ principal bedroom with walk in wardrobes, shower room and three further bedrooms are above, on the first floor. The property is tastefully decorated, and high quality fittings have been used throughout. A superb family house offered with no onward chain - viewing highly recommended.

The property has a wonderful garden, with a total plot size of 0.422 acres. A gate leads into a gravelled drive, with space to park several vehicles. The garage is attached to the house, with power, light and an internal door that leads inside. A large paved terrace is to the immediate front of the property, with steps that lead down into the garden, and this beautifully maintained space has clearly been a real labour of love. Rolling level lawns are edged with beautifully kept borders, stocked with a variety of established plants. There is colour and interest everywhere you look. There is a decked terrace to the side of the garden, with a pergola, raised pool and shed. Mature trees edge the plot, and a gate at the bottom of the garden takes you down to the stream.

Eastington is well known locally for its good community and allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stonehouse with schooling, pubs, a shop, a village hall, hairdressers and brilliant walks close by. Nearby Stonehouse has seen many changes over the years, and considerable growth, but remains a friendly town and a proud community spirit. It is a great place to live, with a wide range of housing, a direct railway line to London, primary and secondary schools and a location just 2.5 miles from the M5 motorway. Stonehouse has all the facilities one would expect of a small town, including a GP surgery, Co-op, three playing fields, pubs and a bustling High Street with independent shops, restaurants and cafes. The town is also the location for Wycliffe College, a private school with boarding facilities. But in keeping with the rest of the Stroud area, residents are never far from stunning scenery. The Stroud water Canal runs through Stonehouse and the town is also on the doorstep of beautiful Doverow Hill and a lovely cycle trail which runs to Nailsworth.
