Church Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucestershire

Welcome to The Old Thatch, a wonderful example of an early 17th-century Grade II listed thatch cottage that is beautifully presented, full of charm and character, and as such is ready to move into and enjoy.

The property, which is offered for sale with no onward chain, has previously been extended, and so today we ensure the home enjoys plenty of internal accommodation, which is befitting of the circa one-acre garden that accompanies the property. Add in that the home enjoys off-road parking for four cars while also having a detached double garage, and you begin to understand why The Old Thatch comes with such a high recommendation to view.

Located in Hardwicke, the village is located on the outskirts of Gloucester yet offers good commuter links into the city and, of course, Gloucester Quays, which offers an array of shopping and food outlets and borders onto the world-famous Gloucester docks and Gloucester Cathedral. The property is also within proximity to both primary and secondary schools, and for commuters, access to the A38 and M5 is within easy reach.

Returning to the property, the home has two formal reception rooms, the living room and dining room. The living room enjoys plenty of natural light from the triple-aspect windows, while the log-burning stove, inset to the chimney breast, complete with a natural stone surround, provides the room with a focal point.

The dining room sits next to the fitted kitchen, with the room benefiting from a wealth of units that sit alongside a host of integrated appliances, including the range cooker. The kitchen features double-aspect windows, ensuring one can enjoy views over the property's garden.

Further rooms on the ground floor include the three-piece family bathroom, complete with roll-top bath, the formal entrance hall, rear hall, master bedroom with French doors leading onto the garden, a four-piece en suite bathroom, and finally the utility room.
A drop-down ladder provides access to the loft space, which sits above the utility room. This room has been plastered and decorated, enjoys light, power, and natural light from the window in the end gable wall, and is also carpeted.

Upstairs in the main home is a galleried landing, which in turn provides access to the two further double bedrooms. Bedroom two is a sizeable room, and as such, the current owners have split the room into two sections, comprising the bedroom and a separate seating area.

Externally, the home benefits from a large driveway, providing ample parking for at least four cars, if not more. In addition to the driveway, there is a detached double garage, which benefits from light and power.

The garden is simply a delight and a credit to the current owners, as it is their hard work that has created this wonderful paradise. Within the garden are lawned areas, paved terraces, and a raised decked terrace that overlooks the impressive pond, which is full of koi. Furthermore, within the garden is a summerhouse that benefits from light and power and sits nestled in mature trees and shrubs.

Further into the garden is an art studio, and for those that paint or draw, you are sure to be inspired by the surroundings you find yourself in, as there is so much colour, maturity, and texture to the garden, and as such, it really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Finally, there is the orchard, where one will find a fine selection of mature fruit trees.
