Situation • College House is situated on elevated ground above the village of Haresfield, along a small country lane in the South Cotswolds, about 4 miles to the north of Stroud. Within Haresfield there is a parish church, a pub and an excellent village school. • The house lies just below the Cotswold escarpment which forms an impressive wooded backdrop, in an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. The Cotswold Way is close by and there are many lovely country walks from the house and the stunning views from the nearby Haresfield Beacon are one of the high points of the Cotswold Hills. • Stonehouse provides for most everyday needs, whilst Stroud offers a more comprehensive range of shops, including Sainsbury’s, Tesco and a Waitrose supermarkets and a highly regarded farmers market every Saturday. • There are railway stations in Stroud and Stonehouse with direct services to London Paddington and also Cam which provides rail services to Bristol and Gloucester. • There is an excellent range of both state and private schools in the area including Wycliffe College, Marling, Stroud High, Beaudesert Park and the Cheltenham Ladies and Boys Colleges. College House • We believe College House was originally built as a pair of Cotswold stone cottages with origins dating back to the 1700s. One of the cottages was substantially altered in the Victorian era with the addition of a striking two storey extension in Stonehouse brick. The cottages have been combined to create one house but plenty of scope remains to further improve and update the property, if required. • The accommodation, which is arranged over three floors, extends to just under 1,700 sq ft in total and all the windows are either double or triple glazed. The majority of rooms have dual aspects and enjoy far reaching views to the West across fields towards May Hill. Gardens and grounds • A gravel drive leads off the lane through double timber gates to a large car parking and turning area in front of the house. • To one side of the parking area is a former tandem garage which has been converted at some stage to provide an excellent studio/ Approximate Gross Internal Area = 157.0 sq m / 1689 sq ft N home office space, with a kitchen area and cloakroom.
