Summary - 3 The Slad, Grovesend, Thornbury BS35 3TW
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Character stone home with extensive grounds and workshop, ideal for family life and hobbies.
Circa 1.6 acres: mature gardens plus adjacent paddock
Set at the head of a quiet lane, this character stone cottage sits within about 1.6 acres of mature gardens and an adjoining paddock. The house combines original features — exposed timbers, a large brick chimney and a triple-aspect vaulted living room with open fireplace — with useful modern additions such as a glazed link, garden room/studio and a single-storey extension. The site includes a workshop, several sheds and off-street parking, giving practical space for hobbies, storage and small-scale keeping.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides flexible family living: a sitting room with wood-burner, a dining room with range, a fitted kitchen with wooden countertops, three first-floor bedrooms, a main bathroom and a ground-floor shower room. The plot’s scale and layout make it attractive for buyers wanting gardens, amenity land or scope for change; countryside walks start directly from the threshold and the property enjoys views across a dismantled railway cutting to open farmland.
There are some sensible practical considerations. The building dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so thermal upgrades may be needed; double glazing has been fitted since 2002. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators — this entails ongoing fuel costs and servicing. Broadband speeds are slow, mobile signal is average, and any significant alteration or development would require planning consent. Overall, the cottage will suit purchasers seeking character, outdoor space and countryside living, and who are prepared to carry out updating or adapt the property to their needs.
