Property description

With an eye on style and attention to detail, the owners of The Paddock House have created a spectacular family home of generous proportions with enough rooms for everyone to find their own space.Eye catching and impressive upon arrival, you are not disappointed when you step inside this imposing house. Quality fittings and traditional materials have been used throughout and there is no shortage of oak, solid granite, polished stone floors etc.No expense has been spared on its remarkable transformation culminating in the creation of a contemporary, spacious and luxurious property of some considerable standing. It has been painstakingly and skilfully altered and extended over the last five years using the best of materials. The fine touches include the stone mullion windows cleverly added so as not to diminish the copious amount of light flooding into this distinctive property .The Paddock House is light and airy, built on two floors, and occupies an excellent elevated position within Bownham Park. The Park itself is surrounded by Rodborough and Minchinhampton Commons; an area of over 600 acres of National Trust commonland which boasts its own golf course as well as a vast area of open grassland with protected wild flowers and plants. In short this is a very special place to live.The area is well placed for access to M5 and M4 and you can catch the train to London from Stroud straight through to Paddington The Paddock House has been designed in such an astute way that the rooms within it are both flexible and versatile and can be put to different uses with a formal dining room and snug adding to its number. As well as the master bedroom, there are five further double bedrooms all with en suites. Add to the mix plenty of space for parking and it is clear that this is a property which can easily accommodate visiting family and friends who will no doubt want to include in their stay walks in the rolling hills and wonderful paths above the Stroud Valley and Severn Estuary. This is a prestigious property well placed to enjoy the area and all it has to offer including the café culture of Stroud, once described by Jasper Conran as "the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds".
