    About this property

    • The Grange is an elegant Grade II Listed family house dating back to the early 17th century. The house was re-fronted in the early 18th century and then altered and enlarged in the 19th century. The house now represents a most comfortable family house with well proportioned rooms over three floors.

      Internally, the rooms are well laid out and include a splendid drawing room, dining room and a study which is large enough to be used as a sitting room. Off the kitchen/ breakfast is a playroom. Approached off the hall is an orangery with a swimming pool.

      On the first floor there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms/ shower rooms. The principal suite also has a dressing room. On the second floor there are three further rooms which are ideal for teenage use.

      Adjacent to the house and approached either through its own front door or internally is the former cottage. This is a most comfortable annexe, which includes a kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. If used separately, a private garden space can be enjoyed.

      The mature garden and grounds complement the house and create an idyllic setting. Standing in the centre of the garden is a splendid Hungarian Pine tree which is understood to have been planted when the house was built. There is also an ornamental pond and a number of outbuildings. The house is approached through automated gates and there is plenty of parking space to the front.

    Local information

    • Frampton on Severn lies about ten miles South of Gloucester on the Eastern side of the river Severn. According to an entry in the Domesday Book dated 1086, the Manor of Frampton was held by Drew son of Pons, granted to him by William the Conqueror as a reward for his services. The Manor is reputed to be the birth place of "Fair Rosamund" who was the mistress of Henry II.
    • The Green is said to be the longest village green in England, and is about twenty two acres in size. Cricket is played on The Green outside the Bell Inn, one of the two pubs on The Green, the other being The Three Horseshoes at the opposite end of The Green.
    • The area around The Green has been designated a Conservation Area, the range of Architecture spanning several centuries ranges from "Cruck Cottages" to impressive Tudor and Georgian houses.
    • The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is situated about half a mile from the Southern end of the Green, and can be approached along "The Narles", a long avenue of horse chestnut trees. The building was first consecrated in 1315 AD, although some of the Church dates back to the 12th century.
    • For Nature and Wildlife lovers, Frampton is magnificent. Much of the area is East of The Green is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and there is an abundance of Flora and Fauna. Due to a policy, landowners must farm the area without the use of fertilisers and herbicides, meaning that the natural habitat has flourished to the benefit of all. The Gloucester- Sharpness Canal with views over the River Severn and the old gravel workings are linked by a series of public footpaths.
