"A rare opportunity to purchase an attractive 4 bedroom period residence set in grounds of approximately 2 acres and approached via a long winding drive, Upper Vatch Mill positively oozes period charm with a wealth of flagstone floors, exposed stone walls and timber beams. Having been in the hands of the present owner for some years the house offers an opportunity for the discerning purchaser to update the interior with new fixtures and fittings adding their own individual stamp to the property. To one side of the house is a large studio wing with its own external access which could potentially provide a separate annex. Situated a discreet distance from the main house is a separate stone built two bedroom cottage which provides a useful income from holiday lets.

Set on the verdant slopes of the Slad Valley, Upper Vatch Mill enjoys a tranquil setting a world away from the hurly-burly of metropolitan life, yet the property is conveniently located for access to a faster pace of life. Only a couple of miles down the Valley lies the bustling Cotswold market town of Stroud with its many retail, cultural and leisure facilities (including a renowned weekly Farmers' Market selling a variety of organic produce and also an annual Arts Festival) Trains from Stroud to Paddington take under 2 hours and the nearby A417 gives access to the motorway network via the M5. Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham International Airports are all within easy reach. There are numerous excellent education establishments in the area including the well respected Stroud High School for Girls, Marling, Beaudesert Park, Cheltenham Colleges and Dean Close. A short drive away are hundreds of acres of National Trust Common Land offering opportunities for varied pursuits such as golf, riding, walking, etc. and closer to home, just a short walk away, is the little village of Slad with its well-known watering hole, The Woolpack, once a favourite haunt of author and poet Laurie Lee and immortalised in his famous book "Cider with Rosie"."
