Grove Lane, Westend, Stonehouse, GL10

A charming red brick period home nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Westend, St. Loys Cottage has been lovingly maintained over the past 20 years. The owners have preserved much of its beautiful character while tending to its mature, well-manicured garden. Approached via a gravel driveway with ample parking, the property welcomes you through a distinctive green door into a bright conservatory/porch area. The entrance opens into a cosy sitting room, featuring an open fireplace and a bay window overlooking the front aspect. An arched doorway leads to the study, offering a quiet space. As shown on the floor plan, the dining room is located off the sitting room, providing a natural flow into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and accommodates a selection of free-standing appliances. A breakfast area adjoins the kitchen, with a door leading directly to the rear garden. A staircase from the sitting room ascends to the first floor, where the generously sized main bedroom showcases an abundance of character, built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is also well-proportioned, offering views of the rear garden along with built-in storage. A family bathroom completes this level.

The outdoor space is a true highlight of this property. The vendors were passionate gardeners, have lovingly planted and maintained the grounds over the years. At the front, a gravel driveway offers ample parking and access to the garage, while the garden is bordered by mature shrubs, providing privacy. The rear garden is a beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully planted, it features a well-maintained lawn, a pond, a dedicated seating area, and additional storage.
