Seller Insight Overdale House is a spacious and beautifully presented family home, but what sets it apart from many others is the quite exceptional setting. It sits on a quiet country lane in an elevated position on Taits Hill, so it is not only very peaceful, but the property also boast magnificent farreaching views across the glorious surrounding countryside. “The house is lovely, but it was without doubt the setting that sold it to us,” says Ray. “It’s approached via a pretty country lane and once you drive through the gates the view just seems to peek out around the house, then as you walk through to the back of the property that vista really opens up and you are presented with the most amazing panorama. It really does have to be seen to be believed.” “The house itself was built in the 1950s and is very attractive, and when we purchased it it was in excellent condition. However the décor wasn’t quite to our taste and we could see that there were a few changes we could make to enhance the property further. It needed new windows throughout and we took the opportunity to add a really impressive floor-to-ceiling window in the front gable, which floods the house with natural light. We also added French doors and a glass Juliette balcony to the master bedroom, installed a beautiful new kitchen and added a conservatory, which brings in the lovely views. We’ve made quite a few improvements, but there’s still potential for the house to be enhanced further.” “I’d say that the garden is the standout feature of the property and really has the wow factor,” continues Ray. “It’s wonderfully mature and has a big sweeping lawn that draws the eye to the stunning view beyond. We have a very large patio terrace that’s a lovely place to entertain, and we also have a summerhouse that we use as our karaoke room, which has been a lot of fun. It has electricity, so if the new owners aren’t into karaoke it could be a great little home office.” “The kitchen and the conservatory combined form the real hub of the home,” says Ray. “It’s a nice space for day-to-day family life and great for entertaining, and when the weather is warm we can fling open the doors and extend it right out onto the lawn.” “Because the house is situated on a no-through lane, apart from visitors or the odd horse rider there’s virtually no traffic, so it’s incredible peaceful here,” says Ray. “And although our immediate surroundings are very rural, nearby Dursley caters for day-today needs or I can be in Bristol or Gloucester in just over half an hour.” “My wife and I have loved every minute of our time here and we will be sad to leave,” says Ray. “I don’t think we’ll ever find another house with views quite like these. It really is one of a kind.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
