Peghouse Rise, Stroud, GL5

119 Peghouse Rise is a detached bungalow situated in an elevated position on the outskirts of Stroud. This location allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of the town with country walks just along the road. The property was built prior to the general development of the residential area of Uplands, and has been a happy, comfortable home for the original owners since that time. It is built using traditional methods from reconstituted stone, with accommodation arranged over one floor.

This comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, connecting reception rooms with a glazed bay extension to make the most of the view, two double bedrooms and a shower room. There is a useful loft space above. This has flooring, power and light and velux windows, and has been used as unofficial accommodation in the past. The windows at the rear of the property take in a good outlook over the valley and the garden, and the property is offered with no onward chain.

The property benefits from an attached garage, parking and a good rear garden. The garage is to the left of the property, with an up and over door, power and light. The parking area is to the front of this, with a path that leads to the front door past an attractive open plan front garden with shrubs. A gated side access leads around to the back of the property. There is a large garden here, with good lawn that slopes gently away from the house, with a sitting terrace by the property and a few steps that lead down from the back door into the garden. There is a patio area at the bottom of the plot, and the lawn with edged with shaped beds planted with a variety of shrubs. The elevated spot allows for an open view across the Uplands area below the property.

Uplands is an area of Stroud that really does offer the best of both worlds. The Slad Road, which cuts through the heart of the area, takes you in a few minutes into the heart of Stroud town or, the other way, to the breath-taking beauty of the Slad Valley. Although set right on the edge of the town, Uplands has its own strong community identity – with a well-established primary school, handsome stone church, post office, convenience stores, pub and elderly day care centre. Stroud has a full range of amenities, including a leisure centre, cinema, library, museum, hospital and many shops and eateries. The town also hosts an award-winning weekly farmers’ market and is on the direct train line to London (Paddington).
