Back Edge Lane, Edge, Stroud, Gloucestershire

Welcome to Rudge Cottage, a delightful and spacious five-bedroom detached family home, located in this ever popular village, which is a stone's throw from the larger village of Painswick. Believed to have originally been constructed circa 1918/1920, the home was then first extended in the 1980's and then again, most recently in 2012/2013 where a two-storey extension was added and as such, this has increased the overall square footage to circa 4000 sqft.

Internally the home offers a wealth of accommodation across the two floors with the ground floor comprising of a spacious and welcoming entrance hall which provides access to all the ground floor rooms which include two formal reception rooms, a cloakroom, the impressive kitchen/breakfast family room and finally the pool house

Of the reception rooms, these comprise of a dining room which enjoys a log burning stove inset to the chimney breast and French doors leading to the rear terrace whilst the sitting room enjoys sliding doors giving access to the rear garden, a focal fireplace and access to the pool house

The pool house is a wonderful space, enjoying lots of natural light and allowing one to enjoy views over the homes impressive and mature garden. At present, the pool itself needs some repair and so is not used but should the new owner wish to reinstate, this would make a lovely addition to the property. Should one not wish to reinstate, then we believe that subject to the relevant consents being granted, one could convert the space to annex accommodation.

Completing the ground floor is the impressive kitchen/breakfast/family room. Added to the property in 2012 as part of the extension, this room really is the heart of the home. The kitchen enjoys a wealth of fitted units which sit alongside a host of integrated appliances. A log fire sits within the chimney breast and provide a focal point to the seating area whilst the room comfortably houses an eight-seater table and chairs to the dining area. Furthermore, the room is flooded with natural light from the two elevations which are fitted with bi folding doors and once opened, the garden becomes one with the home.

The upper level enjoys five double bedrooms, with three of the rooms benefiting from en suite shower rooms. The master bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and French doors leading to a Juliet balcony, which allows one to enjoy super elevated views over the garden. Completing the upstairs accommodation is the family bathroom and home office, which is access from one of the bedrooms.

Externally to the front is a large driveway allowing off road parking for multiple vehicles and in turn leads to the attached double garage which benefits from light and power. To the rear of the home is a mature garden. Facing South-West, the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine which the new owners can enjoy on one of the terraces available. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn and mature flower beds encase the garden. The garden is enclosed by panel fencing and hedging and enjoys a high degree of privacy.
