High Street, South Woodchester, Stroud, GL5

Wheatsheaf House is a beautifully presented Grade II Listed semi-detached home, believed to date back to around 1840. Rich in character, it features high ceilings, elegant period details, and stunning views. The property has been carefully maintained by the current owners, preserving its historic charm while offering comfortable and versatile living spaces across four floors. Constructed using traditional methods beneath a pitched roof, the house is set in the heart of the sought-after village of South Woodchester. This welcoming community offers a well regarded primary school, a traditional pub, a village church, and a network of picturesque countryside walks, all just moments from your doorstep.

The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance hall, leading to a study (which could also be used as a fourth bedroom) and a beautifully proportioned drawing room, where a large sash window fills the space with natural light. On the lower ground floor, you’ll find a generous kitchen/dining/family room, complete with bespoke cabinetry and direct access to the rear garden, perfect for modern family life and entertaining. The first floor offers two comfortable double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The top floor is home to the principal suite, a peaceful and private space with its own en-suite shower room, creating a relaxing retreat.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, positioned directly behind the house (rather than separate, as is more common for properties along the High Street). It includes a private seating area just off the kitchen, a level lawn, well maintained flower beds, and a charming wildflower section. The views from both the house and garden are truly stunning. Please note this property has no off road parking.
