Description - Limbury House offers a substantial and light-filled home, surrounded by glorious open countryside. Tucked away along a quiet country lane, the property offers rural tranquility , whilst still within easy reach of Cheltenham, Stroud and Gloucester.

A good sized reception hall sets the tone to this spacious property. The sitting room is a wonderful light, dual aspect room, opening directly to a large conservatory. There is a lovely sense of flow on the ground floor with the conservatory linking the sitting room and second reception/family room. A cloakroom and dining room lead off the inner hall, providing an ideal room for more formal or larger family gatherings and working equally well for entertaining. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and a wonderful room in which to host family and friends. There is ample room for a large dining table and plentiful storage and cooking preparation space. A good-sized utility/boot room, provides an ideal space to hide away laundry, with plenty of space for coats and country paraphernalia. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room, completes the first floor. Currently used as a treatment room/studio, this section of the house would work well as a self-contained annexe, with its own separate entrance and access to the garden.

Four double bedrooms are located on the first floor, the principal with en-suite shower, together with a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out, offering comfort alongside practicality and with lovely views, either over the garden or across open countryside. The principal bedroom has wonderful views to Crickley and Birdlip Hills.

The grounds are a real feature of the property, comprising just over an acre of level lawns with mature trees and a patio, ideal for summer entertaining. Outbuildings include a garage/workshop and a summerhouse. There is parking for several cars to the front of the house, as well as separate vehicular access to the garden, further along the lane.

Directions - From our Painswick office, follow the A46 in the direction of Cheltenham. Leave the village and continue past The Royal William pub on your left and down Coopers Hill to the roundabout with the Shell garage. Take the right hand exit at the roundabout and then take the first right (before The Twelve Bells/Premier Inn), signposted as a no through road. Continue for a short distance along the lane and Limbury House will be found on the left hand side.

Location - Limbury House offers the best of both worlds. A rural haven with stunning views towards Birdlip, Coopers Hill and Crickley Hill, whilst still only 6 miles from Cheltenham and 9 miles from Stroud. Witcombe has a lovely community spirit with a village hall which regularly hosts local events, two churches and the Twelve Bells pub, all within easy walking distance of Limbury House. Just a short drive away in Birdlip there is a well regarded primary school, play group and church with village hall, as well as a pub. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools in both the state and private sector, with sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham, as well as a good selection of private schools in nearby Cheltenham. Cheltenham offers a host of amenities, with excellent shopping and theatre and is well-known for its annual music, literature and arts festivals, as well as the National Hunt racecourse. The A46 and A417 provide easy access to both the M4 and M5 motorways and there are nearby mainline train stations in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud, bringing London, Birmingham and Bristol within commuting distance.
