The Property
Nestled on a private residential road in an elevated position with far-reaching views, this impressive and significantly improved modern detached family home awaits. Having undergone a remarkable transformation, including an imaginative rear extension and the installation of aluminium double glazing, this residence now offers fabulous contemporary open-plan living. The central and welcoming hallway, featuring a sweeping iroko staircase, provides access to all ground-level rooms, except for the utility room conveniently located off the kitchen area. Double wooden doors with glazed panels open directly into the formal drawing room, which enjoys a pleasant front aspect and a central focal feature of a stone fireplace with a built-in wood burner. Further double wooden doors with glazed panels lead into the outstanding kitchen/dining/family room extension. Flooded with natural light through a wall of bi-fold doors, windows, and skylights, this amazing living space truly forms the heart of the home. At one end of this room, a well-designed kitchen area boasts built-in appliances and a central island, with a French oak worktop, perfect for budding chefs. At the other end, a contemporary cylindrical gas burner adds a cozy touch. This room also features underfloor heating. A landscaped semi-circular courtyard with beautiful Cotswold stone walls and cottage-style planting creates a fabulous outdoor space that seamlessly connects the garden to this room – a truly special area. The extra reception room with bay window seat is currently set up as a home office but offers versatile use as a playroom, music room, or hobbies room. Additionally, this level includes a cloakroom and a utility room with further storage, including space for the boiler and an outside door. Upstairs, the generous landing offers additional storage. The main bedroom, with its attractive outlook, benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish refitted ensuite shower room. The large second bedroom, featuring dual aspects and fitted wardrobes, provides ample space for a separate dressing area or study space. Three further bedrooms and a fashionable family bathroom complete this first-floor level, with access to the unconverted attic. Both the ensuite and the family bathroom enjoy underfloor heating
Outside
Impressive detached garaging with electrically operated garage doors, workshop, gardener’s WC, roof terrace and clock tower. Plentiful parking. Stunning courtyard. Superb grounds: lawn, woodland, substantial shed, greenhouse. Total plot measures 0.6 acres. It is also one of only a few homes with direct pedestrian access to Minchinhampton Common. The 0.6-acre grounds of Robin’s Hill are extraordinarily beautiful and meticulously designed. The open-plan front lawn offers an unobstructed view from the private residential road, enhancing the property’s appeal. The driveway, a combination of block paving and gravel, provides ample private parking for several cars. Additionally, the substantial detached garaging offers space for three vehicles, a workshop, and a gardener’s WC. External steps lead to a wonderful roof terrace over the garage, a perfect elevated spot to enjoy far reaching views and a cup of coffee while watching the children play in the extensive grounds below. The large, level lawn opens opportunities for various activities and hobbies. With planning permission, there is ample space for a pool or tennis court. Adjacent to the lawn is a well-managed woodland with a pathway leading to a gated pedestrian access onto the National Trust common. A recent addition to the garden is the sunken, half-moon shaped courtyard. A magnificent modification that has transformed it into a secluded terrace surrounded by Cotswold stone walls and scented planting. Using porcelain tiles creates the illusion of an outdoor room. The property also includes a greenhouse to the side and a useful shed at the bottom of the garden. Robin’s Hill is an exceptional family home where the grounds are as exciting and inviting as the living space itself.
