Convent Lane, South Woodchester, GL5 5HR

A substantial and beautifully presented 18th century Cotswold home offering exceptional space for modern family life, ideal for growing families and particularly well suited to teenagers seeking their own independence within the home. Nestled along a peaceful country lane on the edge of the highly regarded village of South Woodchester near Stroud, Sandy Cottage is a charming semi detached period home dating back to the 1700s. Behind its attractive façade lies a surprisingly spacious and versatile layout extending over three floors, blending character features with practical family living.

The welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous hallway with useful storage and a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. The sitting/dining room is a particularly impressive family space, light filled with windows to both front and rear, making it perfect for entertaining, celebrations, and everyday life. An attractive arched opening lead to a second reception room, ideal as a snug, playroom or home office, giving everyone their own corner to relax or work. The kitchen is well appointed with an excellent range of wall and base units, a Belfast sink, and breakfast bar, a natural hub of the home. A rear lobby/utility area provides space for white goods and access to the garden via a stable door. Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms ideal for families with older children who need proper double rooms rather than compromises. The principal bedroom enjoys a charming window seat overlooking the front, while bedrooms two and three are generous doubles. Bedroom four, currently used as a study, benefits from a large picture window with garden views. A centrally located family bathroom serves this floor. A staircase rises to the second floor where a superb fifth bedroom creates an excellent private retreat, perfect for a teenager wanting their own space away from the main household flow, or equally suited as a guest suite or hobby room.
