PROPERTY DETAILS
The Woolsack is situated one mile from Minchinhampton on the edge of the Gatcombe Park Estate. The Woolsack provides an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful and historic area. Minchinhampton nestles in a hollow on the edge of 600 acres of common land. The village centre is built in natural stone and many properties still have tiled stone roofs. There is a 17th century market house where wool merchants used to purchase fleeces from local farmers. Cows and horses are free to roam from the common into the village, allowing it to retain its rural charm and character.
