1 Jacobs Knoll Cottage is a pretty attached cottage situated in a superb elevated position just below National Trust land at popular Burleigh. This location allows for a spectacular view into the valley and beyond, with hundreds of acres of open land on the doorstep. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a pitched roof. It has been the current owner’s home for over forty years, and they have extended the property during this time, adding an airy sitting room to the original character accommodation, which is arranged over two floors.
A porch, entrance hall, shower room, dining room, kitchen and the first class 18’ sitting room with wood burning stove and vaulted ceiling are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall, with a landing, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, further bedroom and dressing room on this floor. A buyer may choose to use the latter as a study. Every window enjoys a super outlook, and the property is available with no onward chain.
The property benefits from parking, stable outbuilding and beautifully planted gardens. The drive is gravelled and gated, with space to park several cars. The garden is mostly set to the front of the house, and this space has clearly been a real labour of love. There is a good level lawn at the very front of the plot, with several wide, easy steps that lead down to the cottage past a large planted border. This area is stocked with a wonderful variety of shrubs and plants, with colour and interest everywhere you look. There is a gravelled sitting area by the front door, with space for a table and chair set, and this area leads on the side of the house, and the outbuilding. This was formerly a two-stable block, and is now used for storage, but could be converted into workshop or work from home space subject to planning consent. A gated path is in between the stable block and the cottage, and this leads to the back garden. This area is paved and planted, and is accessible from the sitting room. The view here is absolutely outstanding – the perfect spot to sit and relax and look out over the countryside beyond.
The property is situated at the end of a quiet country lane on Minchinhampton Common, a National Trust owned area that comprises hundreds of acres of open land. There is a golf course here, and the space can be used for recreational use, with a couple of good pubs and some lovely walks. The property is well positioned for both Nailsworth and Minchinhampton, with shops, amenities and both public and private schooling here. More comprehensive facilities are available in the larger town of Stroud, some three miles distant, with Junctions of the M4 and M5 Motorways within easy reach. Railway stations at Stroud and Kemble provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington (C. 90 minutes direct).
