Description
Senkley Cottage is a characterful cottage in a lovely position at sought after St Chloe, Amberley. This quiet, elevated location is private and sunny and allows for a great view across the Woodchester valley, with hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough commons. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone, and has been extended in the past. The current owners have improved the property, replacing the roof and the windows, and re fitting the bathroom, with accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, shower room, 16' kitchen/breakfast room with original bread oven and 15' sitting room are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with two bedrooms on this level. The best bedroom is at the top of the house, as is the bathroom. The views from the bedroom dormer window are really quite special.

Outside
The property benefits from a carport, and garden to the front and rear. A gate leads in off the lane past the neighbouring house to the front of the property, with a terraced garden to the front. There is a shed sited at the top of this area. The majority of the garden is at the rear, and this area makes the most of the sunny aspect and the lovely view out over the Woodchester valley. There is a timber built terrace by the house - the perfect spot to sit in the sun (when we have it!), with steps then leading down into the lower garden. There is a level lawn, and another level area below that. Steps lead down again into a productive area, with raised vegetable beds, and a useful shed. The carport backs on to this space, with a personal door opening into the garden.

Location
The property is located in St Chloe, Amberley, which has the benefit of a well regarded primary school and playgroup, community shop and two good public houses. There are hundreds of acres of National Trust common land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, with the market towns of Nailsworth and Minchinhampton within a couple of miles. Nailsworth has become an increasingly popular shopping destination benefiting from a large selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of restaurants. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Stroud, with a main line railway service to London Paddington and the motorway junctions of the M4 and M5 within easy reach.
