5 bed detached house for sale

Kingscourt Lane, Rodborough GL5

Bushley is an individual detached house in a lovely position on Kingscourt Lane. This elevated location, in the popular parish of Rodborough, is private and sunny, with a superb outlook and hundreds of acres of National Trust land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The current owners fell in love with the location, plot and outlook when they bought the property nearly ten years ago and have comprehensively extended and renovated Bushley during their ownership. The resulting home is spacious and versatile, and has been rewired, replumbed and refurbished, with a clever extension almost doubling the ground floor space.

An entrance hall, cloakroom/W.C, 19' sitting room, 22' kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke cabinetry, dining room and conservatory are in the original part of the house, with the extension built on the south elevation. This flexible space comprises a reception room, bedroom with en suite shower and a 19' room that is currently used as a workshop but could be converted for use as a kitchen/dining room (subject to relevant consents). This area is bound to prove popular with buyers looking for annexe accommodation or a first class work from home space separate to the home. On the first floor, a landing leads to a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and three further bedrooms on this level. The property is tastefully decorated and high quality fittings have been used throughout, and the windows at the front take in the superb westerly outlook.

The property benefits from a sweeping drive and gardens to the front and rear, with a total plot size of 0.374 acres. The drive leads up from Kingscourt Lane, with the first part owned by the neighbouring property, with access over this for Bushley. Five bar gates open onto a generous parking area at the front of the house, with space for several vehicles and EV charging. The private front garden is edged with mature trees and hedging, with a well stocked border with a variety of shrubs. Gated access leads around to the rear garden. This area has clearly been a real labour of love, with terraced gardens defined by Cotswold stone walling and beautifully planted borders with colour and interest everywhere you look. Steps lead up through the plot, past a pergola to a good shed, a level lawn, productive growing space with terraced beds and a greenhouse. At the very top of the garden, a brilliant timber built sun terrace is the perfect place to sit, relax, entertain and look back at the beautiful countryside around you
