Vane Cottage was built circa 1800 and was originally one of four cottages, now converted into two substantial homes. The property has been in the same ownership since 1971 and clearly shows signs of being well cared for and loved. In 1983, the property was thoughtfully extended to create a spacious principal bedroom with an en suite and a dedicated dining area.

Arranged over three floors, the cottage boasts a wealth of character features. All windows benefit from spectacular views. A timber front door with stained glass inserts opens into a tiled hallway. The bright and spacious kitchen dining room, located at the front of the cottage, overlooks the beautifully maintained garden. This family friendly space includes a striking Cotswold stone fireplace, attractive cabinetry with stainless steel worktops, and a door leading to an outdoor entertaining area. A useful utility room, cloakroom and a study with a stable door to the garden are positioned centrally within the cottage. The cosy sitting room features a Cotswold stone fireplace housing a cast iron log burning stove, perfect for winter evenings. This room opens into the garden room offering a relaxing space with doors out to the entertaining patio. A thumb latch door leads upstairs to the first floor landing, where the principal bedroom impresses with triple aspect windows, an abundance of natural light, and a stylish en suite shower room. Also on this floor are a family bathroom and a guest bedroom. The second floor features two bedrooms with sloping ceilings, one of which includes a walk in storage cupboard.

As you approach the property, a generous parking area for at least three cars is immediately apparent, a rare and valuable asset in village locations. Steps lead down to a secluded, wrap around garden to the side and front of the cottage, which includes a greenhouse, productive vegetable patch, numerous seating areas, and an abundance of well stocked cottage style flower beds and plants. A charming well, which historically served the terrace, adds to the garden s character. The entertaining patio, located between the kitchen and garden room, is a wonderful space to enjoy the valley views. The entire garden is fully enclosed, offering both privacy and tranquillity.

The property is located in a superb location at Pinfarthings, Amberley. This sought after spot faces south, and is set just below hundreds of acres of National Trust common land, with the shops and amenities of both Nailsworth and Minchinhampton close by. There are two good primary schools Minchinhampton and Amberley within easy reach, and the renowned Beudesert Park private school is just along the lane. A wider range of amenities and two great grammar schools are available at nearby Stroud, as is a main line railway service to London Paddington 90 minutes . Motorway junctions of the M4 and M5 are within easy reach.
