4 bed Detached

Thought to originally date from the mid 1960s with substantial alterations in the early 1970s, Bopoto occupies a delightful elevated setting offering commanding views over the Slad Valley. The principal living accommodation is comprised of a reception room with fireplace housing a wood burning stove and doors into a conservatory and a spacious kitchen/dining room opening onto the terrace. The principal bedroom also offers wonderful views with an adjacent bathroom offering scope to create a self-contained annexe if desired. There are 3 further bedrooms, two of which are linked via a small conservatory with a family bathroom completing the accommodation. Set in a gently sloping 2.4 acre plot, a terrace adjacent to the house has steps down to a level lawn. The land is divided into two paddocks around one around half an acre and the other around three quarters of an acre in size. There are two stables, a tack room, two storage barns and a double garage with inspection pit. Slad is a delightful village clinging onto the edge of the Slad Valley to the North of Stroud. The village is famous for being the home (and final resting place) of author Laurie Lee who wrote Cider With Rosie based on his childhood in the village. Village life is focussed around the Parish Church and the Woolpack public house, both around 400m distant. The surrounding towns provide a comprehensive range of social, recreational and retail amenities to suit all tastes. Education options in the area are strong in both the private and state sectors with independent schools including Kings School in Gloucester, Wycliffe College and Beaudesert Park School in Stroud and Cheltenham College and Dean Close in Cheltenham whilst there are Grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
