The Annexe Situation • Binley Farm is quietly situated in the small rural hamlet of Waterley Bottom, which itself lies in a stunning semi-wooded valley at the foot of the Cotswold hills escarpment in an area designated as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty. • There is a highly regarded pub in Waterley Bottom, The New Inn, and in North Nibley (one and a half miles) there is a church, a village shop / post office, an excellent primary school and a pub, The Black Horse. • The nearby Cotswold market towns of Wotton-under-Edge, Dursley and Tetbury between them provide an excellent range of everyday shopping and recreational facilities. • There are a number of good schools locally including the highly regarded Katherine Lady Berkeley’s School in Kingswood, Rednock in Dursley, Wycliffe College in Stonehouse, Marling and High in Stroud and Beaudesert Park Preparatory School in . • Regional centres such as Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and are all within approximately 35 to 40 minutes’ drive and the M5 provides fast and direct links to the South West, South , the Midlands and beyond, as well as connections to the M4 corridor. Binley Farm • Binley Farm dates back to 1850 and was bought in a dilapidated state by our clients about five years ago. Since then they have transformed the property and created a wonderful highly efficient eco-friendly home, interlinked to an excellent self-contained two/three bedroom annexe, ideal for extended modern family living. • The accommodation, which is arranged over three floors and extends to just over 4,000 sq. ft. in total, is particularly light and spacious and has been constructed with great attention and expense on the core systems such as lighting, plumbing and heating. All the windows are triple glazed & argon-filled, an external wall insulation system has been applied and the effect of this combined with the rigorous application of air tight membranes, is to ensure minimal heat loss and consequently very low energy consumption.
