Description Rose Cottage is a deceptively spacious family home. Grade II listed and providing well proportioned rooms arranged over three floors. Dating back to the late 18th century the property possesses considerable character and period features including wooden Gothic windows, exposed beams, fireplaces and stone flagged floors. These blend well with the contemporary appointments including the Bulthaup kitchen and the Philip Starke and Villeroy & Bosch bathroom suites. The large windows and high ceilings encourage a feeling of space. The house it should be noted is also of historical and literary note, as the current property can still be recognised as the Rose Cottage featured in the 19th century novel John Halifax Gentleman by Dinah Craik. Internally the accommodation is well arranged. The front door leads into the part panelled entrance hall off which is the staircase. Part glazed panelled doors lead into the sitting room with fireplace and polished wooden floorboards. There is an open way through to the drawing room with a superb inglenook fireplace, as well as an outside door. To the rear of the house is the dining room with full height stone fireplace, polished floor boards and double French doors leading onto the garden terrace. Adjacent is the kitchen/ breakfast room with a utility room, larder room and cloakroom being found off the rear hall. It is worth noting that the kitchen could be combined with the dining room to make a superb multipurpose room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, dressing room, family bathroom and a shower room. Like the first floor, the second floor is also approached by two staircases although all rooms are interconnecting. Here there are two further bedrooms as well as two bathrooms, a studio/play room and an office. In total the accommodation extends to about 4, 500 square feet. The garden is a particular feature of the property and extends principally to the side and rear of the house. They have been carefully landscaped and maintained, and include an ornamental pond with decking over part of it. As well as a terraced lawn there are a wide variety of maturing plants, shrubs and fruit trees. A high degree of privacy is afforded by thuja, bamboo and laurel hedging. Attached to the house is a spacious garage with plentiful storage area, beside which is an area of private parking for two cars. Directions From Cirencester take the A419 towards Stroud.
