Description
Field Cottage is a delightful semi-detached period home located within an idyllic setting nestled into the hillside in the popular village of Chalford with superb views over the Golden Valley. The property is perfectly situated for peace and tranquillity hidden up a private drive whilst also benefitting from direct access to footpaths leading to local amenities. Formerly a weavers cottage displaying a great deal of character, the property is classically elegant and offers great potential for upgrading and refurbishing.
The accommodation is spacious and roomy, more akin to a house than a cottage, and enjoys a southerly elevated position bringing in ample natural light. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation extends to around 2,084 sq.ft. The ground floor opens to a large reception hall with a Rayburn. The living room features an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove inset. There is a generous kitchen/dining room fitted with bespoke timber units, whilst to the side there is a utility room and WC off. On the first and second floors there are four bedrooms and a study, plus two bathrooms.
The house overlooks its delightful garden from where the exceptional views can be enjoyed. There is a gated driveway (requiring refurbishment) leading to a double garage to one side. A pleasant trickling stream flows at the foot of the garden whilst the tiered garden incorporates terraces, lawns and mature fruit trees.
Situation
The property is situated on the edge of the village of Chalford, a thriving Cotswold village surrounded by a rolling Cotswold landscape enjoying lovely views and many country walks.

Together with its neighbouring villages, Chalford forms an excellent community with post office/stores, various local shops, popular primary schooling and the Kings Head pub whilst a short walk away is the highly regarded Lavender Bakehouse coffee shop. The property is readily accessible to Stroud and Cirencester where there are more comprehensive facilities and services. Fast trains to London Paddington are available from nearby Kemble and Stroud train stations.
