Bisley Old Road, Stroud, GL5

An attractive character Cotswold stone cottage situated in an elevated position just above Stroud centre. This location is very much part of the vibrant local community and allows for easy access to the shops, amenities, farmers market and train station of the town with country walks just up the road. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone under a pitched roof. It was the subject of a comprehensive renovation programme in 2008 and the current owner has improved the property further. The resulting home is comfortable and welcoming, with good sized rooms. The property is arranged over three floors and comprises entrance area and a open plan 28' living space. There is plenty of space to cook, eat and relax here, and the well appointed kitchen area includes integrates appliances. A landing and a shower room are on the first floor, with a 14' double bedroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. An interesting, tastefully decorated property - viewing highly recommended.

The property benefits from a long front garden and, unusually for property of this type, both a garage and parking space. The front garden faces south, with steps up from the shared path that leads up from the garage. There is a decked area here, with a stepping stone path that leads through the gravelled garden past established, well planted borders to the house. There is a paved seating area by the front door, and this is an ideal spot for a table and chair set.

It's with good reason that Stroud was voted ‘Best place to live in the UK 2021’ by The Sunday Times. Sitting at the point at which five valleys converge, and surrounded by rolling hills within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Stroud is a small town with a huge heart, which has captured the imagination of many over the years. There’s plenty to see and do - Stroud has a great variety of shops, cafes, pubs and amenities, including a busy leisure centre, library, museum and award-winning weekly farmers’ market. Many of Stroud’s shops are independent and family-run. More recent development has seen the relaunch of the Five Valleys shopping centre and the town also has a cinema, ten-pin bowling and a central gym. Stroud has a proud, thriving local community, one steeped in music, art, creativity and environmental issues. There is a wealth of countryside on the doorstep, including three beautiful commons, as well as walks along the historic canal and River Frome. Parents can take their pick from a range of good schools, including a comprehensive and two grammar schools, and there is also a college of further and higher education. Stroud is also superbly placed for access to the M5 and has a direct line train service to London.
