Fleece House is a beautiful detached Cotswold stone period home, occupying a superb and much coveted position within the old village of Chalford Hill, set within just under half an acre of gardens and grounds. While very much loved and certainly liveable, the property has been in the same ownership since the 1960s and now presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to modernise and improve this attractive home while immersing themselves in the welcoming Chalford community. The house offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation and immense charm. Features are prominent throughout and include stone mullion windows, feature fireplaces and exposed beams and lintels. The main front entrance opens to a reception hall featuring a period stone spiral staircase leading to the first floor, as well as a cloakroom. A step-down leads to an inner hallway from which the main living spaces extend. The two principal reception rooms are positioned along the south elevation, offering views over the gardens and grounds; the larger living room boasts two windows and a door providing direct access to the garden as well as a feature fireplace with gas stove inset, while the inviting sitting room is particularly charming, featuring double aspect windows, including a large picture window, and an inglenook fireplace, similarly with a gas stove inset. The generous kitchen/dining room lies to the front of the house and is fitted at one end with pine cabinets; its spacious layout offers ample room for formal dining, with a further external door opening to the front courtyard. A connecting door from the sitting room leads to a useful boot room/utility area with a Belfast sink and external access to both the front and rear of the house, which in turn leads to a generous workshop overlooking the large front courtyard. A second staircase from the inner hall provides access to the first-floor landing with built in storage, off which are four bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive due to its size, double aspect outlook, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. A period stone staircase connects to the ground floor reception hall. Each bedroom has its own charm, with three considered double bedrooms. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite with a shower over the bath. From the landing, a staircase ascends to a fantastic upper room, with exposed A frame beams, ideal for use as a home office or hobbies room. The property is warmed by night storage heating. Historically, Fleece House has benefited from planning permission to build an additional dwelling within the garden; although this planning has since lapsed. Further information on what was granted can be found on Stroud District Council’s website using reference S.13/0640/VAR.
