The Green, Edge, Stroud, GL6

A beautifully re-imagined country house where period
character is paired with a carefully curated interior of exceptional quality. Rich materials, bespoke detailing and a
confident design approach create elegant, atmospheric
rooms, while the layout offers both refined entertaining
spaces and relaxed day-to-day living, all thoughtfully
orientated to the surrounding landscape.

Outside

The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of formal and informal garden spaces, including terraced lawns, mature planting and architectural focal points such as the garden temple. All enjoy a high degree of privacy and far-reaching views across the Painswick Valley, with paddock land beyond.

Edge House is approached via a private tree-lined driveway with ample parking and a detached garage. Winding paths lead through two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner. The secluded walled gardens are richly planted, and features include a limestone temple, yew topiary hedges, terraced lawns, an ornamental pond, and a Georgian spring-fed grotto with a winding rill. The orchard is planted with walnut, quince, medlar, pear, plum and apple trees, along with mature specimen trees. Several terraces located around the house provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the spectacular views. Beyond lies a paddock of approximately three and a half acres, making the property particularly appealing to those seeking space, lifestyle, or smallholding potential. A separate and gated courtyard includes a Georgian stable, workshop, store and an additional garage. The two-bedroom cottage, now in need of restoration, also lies within the grounds.
