An exceptional five-bedroom detached home within an exclusive gated development with panoramic countryside views

A superb five-bedroom detached home extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft, occupying the sought-after end position within an exclusive gated development of just four residences, with exceptional panoramic views across open Gloucestershire countryside, generous private parking, and a high specification throughout.

Built by Matford Homes, this substantial detached residence provides approximately 3,000 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation arranged across three floors, including five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and a superb open-plan kitchen, living and dining space designed to make the most of its wonderful position.

Set behind secure electric gates, Crimperland Close comprises just four individual homes, creating an exclusive and private environment rarely found with a development like this. No. 4 occupies the end position, enjoying an open aspect to the side as well as across the rear, allowing the views to become an even more significant part of the experience of living here.
From the principal living spaces and extensive terrace, the surrounding landscape unfolds in front of you, creating a remarkable sense of openness and tranquillity. The outlook is particularly beautiful towards the end of the day, when the changing light and spectacular sunsets over May Hill provide a constantly evolving backdrop.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, a generously proportioned space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard, with extensive fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island creating a natural focal point. Bi-fold doors connect the room directly with the outside terrace, allowing the exceptional outlook to be enjoyed from within the house and creating a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior spaces.

A separate living room, accessed from the family room via French doors, offers a more intimate setting, while the utility room provides valuable practical space and direct access to the double garage. Elsewhere on the ground floor are a dedicated home office, playroom and cloakroom.

The first floor provides three further bedrooms, arranged around a generous central landing. The principal bedroom suite offers a freestanding bath, dressing area and a generous ensuite. The accommodation continues onto the second floor, where you’ll find two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. These rooms could equally lend themselves to teenagers, visiting family, guests or dedicated hobby and leisure space, giving the house an unusual degree of versatility.

The garden has been designed to complement the house and its surroundings, with the terrace providing the ideal vantage point from which to appreciate the extraordinary rural panorama. Here, the sense of being surrounded by open countryside is particularly pronounced, yet the house remains within easy reach of Gloucester and the wider road network.
The property also benefits from a substantial private driveway providing more parking than its neighbouring homes, in addition to the attached double garage.

As with the wider development, the property has been built with modern energy efficiency and contemporary living in mind, while the quality of construction and finish throughout reflects the standards expected from a carefully considered, individually built home. The specification of these homes is impressive, including an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and a 10-year PCC warranty.

The Lifestyle & Location

Minsterworth offers an appealing combination of countryside living and accessibility. The village is surrounded by beautiful open countryside and is within easy reach of the Forest of Dean, one of the most enchanting corners of Gloucestershire, where ancient woodland, trickling streams and winding country lanes create a wonderful sense of peace and escape.

Despite the semi-rural setting, Gloucester city centre is only a short drive away, providing an extensive range of shopping, dining, cultural and leisure facilities. The nearby market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Newent provide further options for independent shopping, cafes, restaurants and everyday amenities.

Minsterworth itself has a strong sense of community, with a village hall hosting a wide variety of events throughout the year, as well as a local nursery making the village particularly convenient for younger families. The village of Highnam is nearby, offering a superb play area and highly-regarded primary school. The farm park at Over Farm is a firm favourite with local families. The secondary provision in Gloucestershire is especially impressive, with a variety of grammar, state and private schools nearby.

The surrounding landscape provides numerous opportunities to enjoy the countryside on foot, including riverside walks along the Severn. The river also brings one of the area’s most remarkable natural spectacles: the Severn Bore, which can be viewed from various points along the river as the incoming tide creates a dramatic wave travelling upstream.

It is this combination of exceptional views, a beautiful rural setting, proximity to the Forest of Dean and remarkably easy access to Gloucester that makes Minsterworth such an appealing place to call home.
