Sheppard Way, Minchinhampton, GL6

27 Sheppard Way is a substantial detached family house in a quiet residential road on the outskirts of ever popular Minchinhampton. This location allows for easy access to the amenities and well regarded primary school of this market town, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land just through the back gate that opens directly onto Minchinhampton common. The property had been extended several times in the past, but the current owners have now made the absolute best of these improvements, cleverly taking these spaces and combining them, and completely transforming the house in the process. The property is now a welcoming, modern home, with tastefully presented accommodation arranged over two floors.

You walk into a welcoming, light reception area. A 14’ sitting room is on the left and a 15’ study on the other side of the hallway with a cloakroom/WC behind this. A door then leads through into the statement kitchen/family room. This first class living space measures a huge 38’ x 34’. There’s so much to take in here – from the contemporary kitchen area with lantern roof light, to the double-sided wood burning stove, shared with sitting room. There’s masses of space on offer in this room alone; two sets of bi-fold doors have been installed in the back wall of the house and these open up onto the rear garden, accentuating this feeling of openness and light. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a 16’ principal bedroom with en suite shower room and access onto the family room roof, family bathroom and three further bedrooms on this floor. A superb house, and an absolute must for your viewing list.

The interior is complemented by a 37’ triple tandem garage, parking for several cars and a lovely level landscaped garden. The parking is at the front, with room to park several cars and provision for EV hook up. The garage is to the side of the property. This impressive space is 37’ in depth, with a electrically operated front door, door to the rear garden and an internal door from the kitchen. The gardens are mostly found at the rear of the house and are a great size, with level lawns, mature trees and well planted beds that are stocked with a variety of shrubs. The installation of the two sets of bi-fold doors has transformed this space too – when open they connect the inside and outside, creating a superb entertaining area, or simply a space to relax in the sun.

The ancient Cotswold town of Minchinhampton is close by and provides a selection of local facilities including post office, butcher, grocer and restaurants in addition to a doctors’ surgery, library and well regarded primary school. Minchinhampton Common, extending to some 600 acres largely vested in the National Trust, lies on one side of the town, whilst on the other side there is a spectacular series of deep wooded valleys providing delightful walks. More extensive facilities are available in Nailsworth and Stroud, which are both within four miles. Stroud train station provides regular services to London Paddington and junctions of the M4 and M5 Motorways are also within easy reach.
