Througham, Bisley, Stroud, GL6

We are fortunate enough to sell some lovely homes, but every so often we're asked to market something truly special. Througham Fields Cottage is one such property - a substantial detached Cotswold stone cottage in a superb spot at Througham, Bisley. This unrivalled rural location is very private, and surrounded by open countryside, with first class views across neighbouring fields and countryside in every direction. The property has been a happy home for the current owner for some fifty five years. It has been extended and improved in that time, and some ten years ago our client bought the land adjoining the cottage. This is now being sold with the property, offering prospective buyers a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a fantastic rural home with over five acres of level land on the doorstep.

The property is built using traditional methods and arranged over two floors. An entrance hall, 17’ kitchen/dining room, utility room, cloakroom/w.c, inner hall with grand old door and bespoke fitted shelving and a 16’ sitting room with fireplace are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the inner hall to the first floor, with a large landing, bedroom with en suite shower room, family shower room, two further bedrooms and a  conservatory room that could be reroofed to make a fourth bedroom (subject to relevant consents) on this level. The property is spacious and welcoming, and every window enjoys a superb outlook over the field and paddock that as the lucky buyer, you'll own. Viewing essential - call today to book an appointment.

The property is surrounded by countryside, with wonderful far reaching views over fields and woodland. The house benefits from a gated gravelled drive with space to park several cars, an attached double garage with inspection pit and a separate timber built garage with workshop. There is large paved and gravelled area to the front of the house- the perfect spot for your garden furniture, with a level lawn  with attractive planted borders beyond this. This borders the field and paddock, with another gravelled area with planting surrounding. The lawn stretches around the side of the property to a large vegetable bed, ready for planting and a gate leading out to the lane at the rear. In addition to the garden there are 5.45 acres of attached land. This is level and enclosed with cotswold stone walling, hedging and fencing, so ideal for livestock or horses. It's divided into three areas - a paddock to the side of the property with a five bar gate leading in from the lane, a field beyond planted with mature trees and a large open field to the south of the property.

The property is situated on a rural country lane 1.5 miles from Bisley village. Steeped in history, Bisley is a quintessential Cotswold village. It benefits from a well-established primary school, a church and two good pubs, with Bisley Farm shop within a mile of the centre. This location also allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of Stroud, Cirencester and Cheltenham. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, cafes, bars and pubs and restaurants. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note, with a wide independent food retailers. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
