Paganhill, Stroud, GL5

Oaken House is an impressive individual detached house set well away from passing traffic in popular Paganhill. This location allows for easy access to the local shops, amenities and both primary and secondary schools, with country walks just up the lane, and so is the ideal spot for a family house. The current owner is an experienced builder, and bought the plot in 2014. He then used his expertise to built this attractive modern home for his family, and is now downsizing, so this excellent home is now for sale. 

It is immediately obvious that real care and attention has been taken over both the design and build of the property. An oak framed porch welcomes you, and opens to a spacious entrance hall. There is a 16' sitting room to the left, and a cloakroom on the right. A superb kitchen/family room stretches across the rear of the ground floor. There is plenty of room to cook, eat, entertain and relax in this well appointed 24' room, with contemporary kitchen cabinets and multi pane bi-fold doors that open to connect the room with the rear garden. A useful utility room is also found on this floor. Upstairs you'll find a principal suite with double bedroom with Juliet balcony, dressing room and shower room, a family bathroom and three further bedrooms. High quality fittings and tasteful colour schemes have been used throughout the property, and the windows enjoy a pleasant, green outlook.

The property benefits from a garage, parking and gardens to the front and rear. The gravelled parking area is at road level, with space to park several cars. The garage is beyond this, and measures 16'11 x 13'5. Steps then lead up to the house and the front garden. This level area stretches out in front of the house and is is laid to lawn, with a paved area to the front of the house and a banked area of garden above. The side of the house is paved, with a paved garden at the rear of the house. This private area connects with the kitchen/family room once the bi-fold doors are open, making for the perfect entertaining spot. Steps lead up to the top bank, and buyers may look to further develop this area.

The property is tucked away at the bottom of a lane close to the Ruscombe Brook at Paganhill, 1.5 miles West of Stroud. There are shops and amenities close by with Archway, Marling and Stroud High School in easy reach at Cainscross. Stroud town is only a short drive away and was recently voted “Best place to live in the UK 2021" by the Sunday Times. There is a great community here that benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area benefits from a leisure and sports centre, a cinema and a main line railway station, with a regular direct London (Paddington) service. Nailsworth (4 miles) Cirencester (11 miles), Cheltenham (14 miles) and Swindon (26 miles), are all within comfortable driving distance. Junction 13, M5 motorway is approximately 8 miles distant.
