An outstanding Grade II listed Cotswold stone 'Arts & Crafts' house on the edge of Minchinhampton Common.

Description

Bowman’s Green is an outstanding Grade II listed family home with a two acre garden on the edge of the ever popular Minchinhampton Common. This Cotswold stone ‘Arts & Crafts’ house is a fine example of the arts and crafts movement, which has recently been updated throughout. It has been a much loved family home offering spacious accommodation over two floors.

On the ground floor there are three large reception rooms, an inner hall, utility room, two cloakrooms and a kitchen breakfast room. Upstairs there are six double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The entire house is flooded with natural light thanks to its south facing orientation.

The garden and location of the house are of particular merit. The garden is approximately two acres and combines a range of mature trees, formal borders, vegetable garden and an orchard area. In addition there is a large wooded area on the western side which gives complete privacy of the entire garden.

There is a large garage, outbuildings, garden stores and parking. The house benefits from views onto the common and is located at the end of a discreet private road which provides direct access onto the common.
