Mussel End, Sandhurst, GL2

A LOVELY DETACHED BARN CONVERSION IN A QUIET SEMI RURAL POSITION 3 MILES FROM THE CENTRE OF GLOUCESTER

Mussel End is a small rural hamlet surrounded by gently rolling countryside that adjoins the village of Sandhurst and benefits from the communities vibrant facilities. The city of Gloucester is 3 miles to the South, Cheltenham is 8 miles to the East and access to the M5 motorway is within a very easy reach.

Singleton Barn was developed and converted by the highly knowledgable and experienced current owners between 2010 and 2012 for their own occupation. The works have been done to the highest standard and now offers delightful, well planned family accommodation on a single level. All four bedrooms are doubles, three of which have en-suite’s as well as a family bathroom. It is underfloor heated throughout and has the benefit of a utility room. The heart of the property is the 47‘ x 19‘ open plan vaulted ceiling lounge/dining room/kitchen which benefits from an Inglenook fireplace and full height glazed walls to one side.

To the exterior there are lawned level gardens that are partly walled adjoining the property but also two brick built attached barns and a third steel frame open bayed barn that together have planning consent to convert into two, two bedroom self-contained holiday lets.

There is also planning consent for an “L” shaped extension to the barn to create a fifth bedroom and an ensuite. Plans are available to view for both.
