Property description

THE PROPERTY Glebe House is an attached handsome double fronted natural stone and stone tiled Period village house thought to date back to the 17th Century, and very pleasantly situated within this popular village with open westerly rural views beyond the large rear garden.

The house is Grade II Listed and consists of entrance hall with cloakroom with a white suite, and staircase to landing. The excellent size living room has an oak strip floor and carved stone feature fireplace. Off the hall is a drawing room with a natural stone feature fireplace. The smart kitchen has a bespoke range of base and wall cupboards together with an oil fired Aga range, Belfast sink and attractive granite work surfaces. To the rear of the house is a garden room with access onto the patio and the garden beyond, and also a utility room.

At first floor level there are two good sized double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom/study all using a very attractive good size family bathroom with a separate large shower cubicle. A second staircase then leads directly up to a most impressive master bedroom suite with exposed beams in its vaulted ceiling and an en-suite area with double ended bath and twin wash hand basins.

The house has the benefit of oil fired radiator central heating and we understand was re-roofed in 2009. There is ample space to the front of the house to park three cars, together with a garage and an adjacent property thought to have originally been stabling. The very impressively proportioned rear garden is laid to an extensive lawn with mature borders of trees and shrubs, and enjoys a westerly rural outlook over pastureland.

The house is ideally situated within the heart of the village and we would certainly recommend an early appointment to view. 

DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of the town proceed down Long Street and at the junction with London Road fork left into Hampton Street. Continue along this lane to Avening and down the hill into the village, turning sharp left at the hairpin and down the High Street. Turn left immediately after The Bell Inn and Glebe House will be seen after about 100 yards on the right hand side. 

AMENITIES The village of Avening is located almost equidistant between Nailsworth and Tetbury and provides local facilities which include 2 public houses, a primary school with an outstanding reputation, and a historic Saxon Church. Located on the northern edge of Avening is the well-known Minchinhampton Golf Club, boasting two 18 hole courses.

Avening is very much in the "Royal Triangle" with Gatcombe Park, the home of The Princess Royal being immediately to the north of the village and Highgrove House, the country home of HRH The Prince of Wales, a few miles away near Tetbury. The nearest towns are Nailsworth and Tetbury, both of which have a reasonable range of local facilities including shops, public houses and primary schools with a secondary school at Tetbury. Also within the local area are a number of places of interest including the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum with some 18 thousand trees and shrubs in approximately 600 acres of landscaped grounds.
