Church Road, Cainscross, GL5

Homelea is a detached bungalow set in a private position at the end of a long drive at popular Cainscross. This quiet level location is well away from passing traffic and is conveniently placed for local shops and amenities. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof with accommodation arranged over one floor. It is now in need of modernisation, but offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to refurbish a property to their own taste and standard.

Originally, the accommodation comprised an entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. This has subsequently been extended, with the addition of a bedroom with en suite shower room. This has basic plumbing pipes installed but is not yet fitted, and a buyer may choose to finish this space as planned by the previous occupant or remove the internal wall and create another reception room, or a kitchen/breakfast room (subject to relevant planning permission and building regulations approval). The property is available with no onward chain, and we expect it to be very popular with buyers looking to create a comfortable home in a quiet, convenient spot. 

The property benefits from a good level plot, and parking for several vehicles, with a total plot size of some 0.2 acres. Part of this acreage is a long winding drive that leads to the property, with space to park several vehicles at the front. The garden is then to the front, side and rear of the bungalow. A path leads to the front door though a level lawn. This extends to the side of the property and there is adequate space here to create a large garage, subject to planning permission. The rear garden is also level, with mature conifers and a greenhouse found here. There is open view over the grounds of neighbouring St Matthews church at the front.

The property is well placed for local amenities. Cross Westward Road and walk down into Frome Gardens to pick up the canal towpath, just a short walk from amenities at The Wharf including a bistro, bar, and beauty salon. The house is also close to three supermarkets and good schools, with a playing field just on the other side of the canal. Stroud town is within easy reach and 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), Swindon (25 miles) and junction 13 of the M5 are all within comfortable driving distance.
