SITUATED at the end of no through road, overlooking fields and orchards, Southcote is a fabulous detached five bedroom period house in immaculate condition with 2.4 acres of landscaped gardens, lake and orchard.

The front door opens into an elegant entrance hall with solid oak floor and hardwood locally crafted staircase, a left turn then takes you into the welcoming farmhouse kitchen in the oldest part of the property with original beams, Aga and central island, two large windows look out on the south facing garden.

The kitchen leads into a well equipped utility/boot room with a side door to a covered porch.

The three reception rooms include a splendid triple aspect sitting room with Clearview woodburner and French doors to the terrace and garden, a dining room with views to the garden and original open fireplace and a good sized study/playroom.

The stairs lead up to a long light galleried landing. The large, light master bedroom is double aspect with views over the garden and benefits from a walk in wardrobe and a large ensuite bathroom with separate shower. There are four further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with separate shower – all with lovely aspects.

Outside the property is extremely well maintained with smart wrought iron fencing, large gravelled driveway, a double garage with storage above and a useful lean to building behind - perfect for log storage.

There is also a substantial brick built workshop and a Hartley Botanic greenhouse. Landscaped pathways and terracing lead around the house to the long south facing lawn with an attractive summer house in the bottom corner.

A focal point of the garden is the large lake, currently edged with a blanket of snowdrops. A generously sized vegetable garden leads to the orchard which is full of a combination of fruit trees and specimen trees chosen for their spectacular autumn colours. The orchard also houses the solar panels (giving a useful income of approx £700pa).

The property overlooks further apple orchards and fields and has a fine view of Mayhill.

Southcote is situated in a quiet rural position at the end of Southend Lane, a no through road within walking distance of Newent with easy access to Gloucester and the M50 motorway.
