Guide price £825,000
The Property
A quintessential detached Cotswold cottage, nestled in the charming village of Eastcombe, within walking distance of range of facilities including the village shop and pub. Beautifully upgraded and extended by the current owners, Spring Cottage offers exceptional family accommodation, blending immense character with modern comfort in an idyllic setting. The property enjoys two entrances: the original entrance opens into a welcoming snug, while a rear entrance leads into a practical boot room/utility. To the front of the cottage are two elegant reception rooms. The impressive sitting room is particularly spacious, featuring a flagstone floor, mullion windows, double-aspect outlook, and a striking open fireplace. The snug is equally inviting, also benefitting from a dual aspect and a charming period fireplace with a wood-burning stove, parquet flooring adds yet further character. To the rear lies a superbly extended kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed with a part-vaulted ceiling with roof lights and French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with an electric Aga, stylish shakerstyle cabinetry, and a large central island, creating a highly desirable and sociable space. A wooded outlook beyond the garden can be enjoyed from the kitchen window. An inner hallway, accessed from both the kitchen and drawing room, houses the staircase to the first floor. This level also includes a well-appointed downstairs shower room and the useful boot room/utility. The kitchen and utility benefit from underfloor heating. Upstairs, a split-level landing leads to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned with views to both the front and side. Bedroom three is particularly bright, enhanced by an unusually large window overlooking the rear garden. Bedrooms two and four both enjoy great character. All bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom featuring a contemporary bath and separate shower enclosure.
Outside
The cottage is surrounded by a mature and well- established garden, extending to the front, rear, and side of the property. A pedestrian gate from the lane opens onto a pathway leading to the original front entrance. However, for day-to-day use, a separate pathway provides convenient access to the rear of the cottage, entering via a practical boot room/utility. The front garden is laid to lawn, complemented by mature flower borders set against an attractive Cotswold stone wall. Box hedging lines the pathway, guiding you to the side garden where a charming paved and gravelled seating terrace enjoys the back drop of trees an ideal setting for outdoor dining and birdwatching. Steps rise from the terrace to a timber shed and a generous expanse of lawn. Beyond, an elevated decked seating area provides a superb vantage point, offering delightful views across the garden and towards the rolling valley beyond. A private driveway offers parking for several vehicles. Please use the following what3words to locate the driveway – ///ties.puppy.shadowing

The village is home to a sought-after primary school and Thomas Keble, a highly regarded secondary school. Local independent schools include Beaudesert Prep School and Wycliffe College. There are plenty of outdoor activities available, such as walking, riding, and cycling. A Doctor’s Surgery, Chemist, and Tesco Metro are located in nearby Bussage. Eastcombe enjoys a bus service to Stroud, while Stroud and Kemble railway stations offer a direct line to London Paddington in approximately 90 minutes. Stroud is known for its weekly Farmers’ Market, has four supermarkets, Stroud High and Marling Grammar schools, a multi-plex cinema, a Leisure Centre, and the newly restored Stroudwater Navigation canal.
