Description

Enviably situated on the countryside's edge, less than two miles from the centre of Stroud, 3 miles from the M5 and half a mile from the A419 and A46 for easy transport links, this sprawling detached home is perfectly equipped for family life and has the added opportunity of rental or holiday let investment with three self-contained cottages as part of the extensive outbuildings. Folley Park Farm is a Georgian farmhouse with an attractive honey-coloured stone frontage that has been updated over the years, including conversion of some stables into cottages at the turn of the century. The high-ceilinged entrance hall welcomes visitors with a pretty stained-glass window and the tone is set with the main house presented in a country-inspired design, the accommodation extending to approximately 3700 sq ft, with a number of lovely period features, such as inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, exposed wood beams and stone walls. The house offers a wonderful opportunity for modernisation by the new owner.

The accommodation is well laid out across three floors and feels very spacious, with a good mix of rooms for entertainment and cosy nooks for family relaxation, such as the snug adjoining the generously proportioned dine-in kitchen with AGA range over at its heart. There is a more formal sitting room and dining room, a utility room and pantry, study and attached garage. Upstairs the principal bedroom is an excellent size and has an en suite shower room and dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms which share a family bathroom. On the second floor there is another bedroom with en suite.

Outside
Folley Park Farm is set back from the road behind a gated driveway, which offers ample parking and access to the attached garage. The gardens are predominantly lawned and have been well maintained, bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and trees offering a sense of privacy. There are extensive outbuildings including a three-bedroom cottage, two-bedroom cottage and one-bedroom cottage, two barns, a games room and ample storage.
