5 bedroom character property

Council tax band: C

A meticulously restored and beautifully presented historic home in the heart of town believed to date back to the 16th century. The property has been much improved with sympathetic restoration and modernisation to retain its authentic character while supporting its transition into the 21st century. Arranged over four floors the property offers flexible accommodation and interesting features in abundance, to include exposed timbers, custom made stone window sills, latch doors and bespoke hardwood timber double glazed shuttered windows.

A generous entrance hall with stone tiled floor leads into the sitting room and stairs ascend to the upper floors. The sitting room is a generous room suited to both sitting and dining, making for a cosy yet convivial space. The stone flooring has been replaced by the current owner and offers underfloor heating which continues into the kitchen, and there is a spectacular stone fireplace and hearth curated by a well-regarded local stone mason, which is the star of the show. The adjoining kitchen overlooks the garden and is a lovely bright room with a stable door onto the patio and a range of attractive kitchen units.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms to the front, currently used as an office and a snug, alongside the family bathroom. The snug room has a pretty feature fireplace, a deep storage cupboard and stunning exposed elm floorboards which extend to the spacious landing. The bathroom has been beautifully restored and modernised to include a clawfoot freestanding bath and an unusual reclaimed French wash-hand basin and offers a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Stairs ascend to the second floor which offers two spacious double bedrooms, each with large in-built cupboards and two generous windows. Further stairs ascend from the second floor landing to a large attic bedroom complete with an ensuite shower room, substantial eaves storage and stunning views.

Outside the garden has been landscaped to offer three distinct areas from which to enjoy the southerly aspect and a good degree of privacy thanks to the established climbers. A patio area for entertaining adjoins the house, this is screened using cleverly planted apple trees from a further area of garden with mature planting. At the top of the garden you will find a striking bespoke timber summer house with adjoining tool shed complete with an established and prolific vine.

There is free parking available directly outside on street with some restrictions during working hours, Dursley's car park opposite offers 23 hours free parking, and a few minutes further unrestricted parking is available on street.

Long Street sits on the Cotswold Way and while peaceful and secluded, is very well-positioned for convenient access to the amenities of both Dursley town and the surrounding countryside which can be accessed from adjacent country lanes, with renowned 'Cam Peak' within walking distance. The market town of Dursley offers an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants & cafes along with 'The Pulse', a popular sports facility, Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club, a library, bus station, & the famous Old Spot Public House, in addition to Leaf & Ground Farm Shop/Cafe.
