Bisley Road, Stroud, GL5

A bright and spacious two bedroom second floor apartment found within a Cotswold stone converted building situated towards the top of Bisley Road in “Old Stroud” around one mile above the town centre. This location allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud with the Daisy Bank, Crown and Sceptre and country walks close by. Stone Manor is a Grade II listed building that was converted into apartments around fifty years ago and has a strong community feel. The property is accessed via a communal hall with stairs up to the second floor. The apartment comprises an entrance hallway with useful storage area, access to a boarded loft, a double bedroom with dressing area/study, a second double bedroom with built in wardrobes, a cupboard that houses the washing machine and hot water boiler, bathroom with shower over the bath and a 19’ (max) dual aspect open plan living/dining room that opens to the lovely bespoke fitted kitchen with double oven, integrated fridge and dishwasher. The apartment has a south facing aspect enjoying spectacular views towards Rodborough and as far as the River Severn and beyond. The sunset can be enjoyed all year. The property benefits from modern electric heating, updated insulation and secondary glazing with character features including the stone mullions and Cotswold stone exterior. The current vendor has improved the property by replacing some of the modern electric radiators and installing a new hot water boiler. The north side elevation is due to have new windows installed in 2025, as part of the on going upkeep of this historic building.

The interior is complemented by having pleasant and well maintained communal gardens. They are made up of lawns, drying and seating areas with benches and BBQ facilities that make the most of the elevated spot with lovely views. The property benefits from an allocated parking space as well as a generous visitor parking area.

The nearby area benefits from the Crown and Sceptre pub, Daisy Bank and walks at The Heavens. Stroud town 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. 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 has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
