``` The property, 39 Tetbury Hill, is a substantial individual detached house situated in the picturesque village of Avening, offering a superb outlook across the Avening valley. This charming home is nestled within a thriving local community and boasts a commanding view over the valley, with its traditional construction and pitched roof providing character and space across its two floors. The accommodation is currently ripe for modernisation, offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create a bespoke home that reflects their personal taste and style. The ground floor features a spacious entrance hall, an impressive open plan dining and sitting room with adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and a study, in addition to a convenient WC. The first floor is accessed via a wide staircase, leading to a generous landing, three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with an en suite bathroom, and a family bathroom. The property also benefits from a large double garage with a self-contained annexe above, which could be utilised as a home office, guest accommodation, or for a dependent relative. The plot extends to approximately 0.39 acres (1,500 m²), offering potential for division into separate properties or for extension of the existing dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property is approached via a block-paved drive with a gated entrance, providing ample parking, and the gardens, which wrap around three sides, feature a level lawn, well-planted borders, a paved area for al fresco dining, and a larger lawned area bordered by mature trees and established plants. Avening is a village with a strong sense of community, supported by its primary school, local pub, church, and pre-school playgroup. The nearby towns of Nailsworth and Tetbury, both within 3 miles, offer a more comprehensive range of amenities. The area is rich in outdoor activities with two local golf courses and extensive National Trust land on Minchinhampton Common for walking and horse riding. The M4 and M5 motorways and railway stations at Stroud (7 miles) and Kemble (8 miles) provide excellent transport links to major cities and London Paddington.
