Description
15 Thompsons Hill is an exceptionally pretty double-fronted Grade II Listed detached Georgian cottage situated on the edge of the sought-after village of Sherston. The cottage has the great benefit of large gardens and an orchard extending to approximately 0.65 acres. Constructed in the late 1700s and then later re-fronted in the early 19th Century, the property has beautiful character retained throughout having been in the same ownership for over 30 years and now offers the next owners great scope to modernise and evolve.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors extending to around 1,337 sq.ft. and filled with charm including stone fireplaces, exposed timber beams, and sash windows with shutters. The ground floor includes two traditional front reception rooms plus a dining room at the rear open to the kitchen/breakfast room which has an impressive timber vaulted ceiling. There is a cellar below for storage. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a generous bathroom which also has a high-pitched ceiling. Currently utilised as an office and occasional bedroom, the magnificent attic room is currently accessed via the principal bedroom and has the potential to create two bedrooms.
Occupying around 0.65 acres, the extensive gardens are a great feature of the property sloping up the valley towards the adjoining countryside to include further areas such as a large orchard. Within the grounds there are various older outbuildings/sheds and there is a carport off the lane providing off-road parking.
Situation
The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike. Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis.
