The Property

Offered for sale for the very first time since its construction, this beautiful Arts and Crafts home has remained in the same family for generations. A rare gem, it presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to make their mark on a property brimming with period charm. Set within approximately half an acre, the home sits behind double gates, offering excellent privacy, ample parking, and a level, well-established garden—ideal for families and gardening enthusiasts alike. The original front entrance leads to a characterful entrance porch with a cloakroom, which flows into a central hallway. From here, the stunning original staircase rises to the first floor, and doors lead off to the main living areas. Notably, the property remains largely untouched from its original design, preserving a wealth of character features throughout. The sitting room is a true highlight, with original Crittall French doors opening onto the garden, a double-aspect outlook, and a magnificent open stone fireplace. This is complemented by a formal dining room, featuring a large mullion window that frames views of the rear garden. An original generous serving hatch with integrate storage above and below connects to the kitchen, which could easily be opened up further for modern living. The kitchen itself is full of charm, with original shelving and glass display cabinets above the hatch, a gas Aga, integrated base units, a walk-in pantry, and a larder cupboard. From here, a door leads to a cosy snug, complete with French doors to the paved rear terrace and mock wood burner fuelled by gas. A further door opens to the adjoining boiler room. The snug also serves as a link to the ancillary accommodation. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite deserves special mention for its generous proportions, double-aspect mullioned outlook — enjoying views across the garden and Minchinhampton Common—and built-in storage. It is served by a spacious en-suite bathroom. Although seamlessly connected to the main house, the annexe is fully self-contained with its own private entrance. The open-plan living and sleeping area has been thoughtfully and tastefully designed, featuring wood-effect flooring and a beautifully fitted DeVol kitchen with an integrated oven, hob and fridge. Beyond this area is a stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath. A connecting door from the bathroom leads to a second entrance hall/utility room which links the main house to the annexe.

Outside

Set within grounds of approximately half an acre, the gardens and setting of Little Greendown are truly a delight. Not only do they offer excellent privacy, but they also border the beautiful expanse of Minchinhampton Common, with gated access opening directly onto acres of National Trust land—perfect for dog walks, children’s play, or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside. The property is set well back from Butt Street and approached via double gates that open to a gravelled driveway, offering easy parking for multiple vehicles. A large and mature border incorporating established trees, shrubs, and planting runs along one side of the driveway, providing a lush and natural screen. In the majority, the level grounds extend to the south-west elevation, where they enjoy far-reaching views. This area is enclosed by an attractive Cotswold stone wall, adding both character and a sense of seclusion. The gardens are thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas, including two generous lawned sections, vibrant and well-stocked flower borders, and a beautifully screened paved seating terrace—perfect for alfresco dining or peaceful moments in the sun. The grounds are also peppered with a wonderful selection of trees, which add further interest, seasonal colour, and structure to the landscape throughout the year. Altogether, the outside space complements the house perfectly, offering a calm and established setting that’s both family-friendly and full of potential for keen gardeners. Whether relaxing in the sun, entertaining guests, or stepping directly out onto the common, the gardens at Little Greendown are a true extension of the home’s charm and lifestyle appeal.
