Horns Road, Stroud, GL5

157 Horns Road is a beautifully presented Victorian terraced house set well away from main road traffic in a quiet part of ever popular Horns Road. This location is very much part of the thriving, creative Stroud community, with the shops, amenities and train station of the town within easy reach and country walks just along the road. The property is built using traditional methods from red brick and has been the subject of a comprehensive renovation programme over the last couple of years, with accommodation arranged over two floors. The owner has created a calm, welcoming space here, and you pick up on this as soon as you enter the property.  A 23’ sitting/dining room is very much two connecting spaces, with a sitting area with a fireplace with wood burning stove and sunny window at the front of the house. This is open to the dining area, with a door from this space to a 14’ kitchen/breakfast room. A staircase leads up from the reception room to the first floor, with a light landing, a large bedroom with built in wardrobes and two windows to the front, making the most of the lovely outlook and southerly aspect, a bathroom with modern fittings and a second bedroom on this level. A lovely home, and an absolute must for your viewing list.

The property benefits from a sunny front garden, a rear courtyard and parking. the parking is at the front of the property, and the properties on this back road at Horns Road are responsible for the half of the area of the private road in front of them. A gate opens onto a path which leads up to the house. To the right of this is the front garden. This is laid to lawn, with borders, a small pond. It is also a potting shed at the front of the plot and this useful space can be used for storage or cultivating plants. The courtyard is at the rear, and accessed from the kitchen, with an attractive Cotswold stone wall boundary.
