2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Sunnyside is a pretty double fronted semi detached character property situated in a superb position in the heart of the sought after village of Box. This sunny location enjoys a good village community, with the shops and amenities of nearby Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within easy reach and hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the road at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The property is a wonderful example of the quintessential cottage and is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a Cotswold stone roof. It has been the subject of considered improvement in recent years, with well presented accommodation arranged over two floors. A dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and sitting room with fireplace housing a wood burning stove are on the ground floor, with a landing, two good bedrooms and a bathroom above, on the first floor.

This area is beautifully planted, with a path leading past feature box hedging and lawned areas to the front door. There is a paved area directly in front of the house, and some established planting and shrubs including a lovely ornamental cherry.
