Victoria Road, Brimscombe, GL5

A characterful presented semi-detached Victorian home, positioned on a popular residential road in the heart of Brimscombe, just a few miles to the east of the vibrant market town of Stroud. This attractive property benefits from an elevated setting that offers far-reaching views across the picturesque Golden Valley. The location is particularly appealing, with the Stroudwater Canal located at the bottom of the road - perfect for scenic walks and cycling - and hundreds of acres of protected National Trust countryside just up the hill on Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. The house is traditionally constructed from red brick beneath a pitched tiled roof and retains much of its original charm and character, with accommodation arranged over three floors.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads into a welcoming sitting room featuring a period fireplace and a recently fitted wood-burning stove. Adjacent to this is a dining room with its own open fireplace, a warm and sociable space for entertaining. The kitchen is beyond this, as is a useful rear lobby with access out to the garden. The first floor comprises a landing, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. The second floor is home to a generous attic bedroom . Throughout the home, tasteful décor and carefully retained character features, such as fireplaces and exposed woodwork combine to create a warm and inviting atmosphere and both the first and second floors enjoy views across the valley.

The property features a pretty, terraced rear garden and a useful parking pull-in at the front. The garden is well designed and planted, with a paved seating area directly behind the house, sheltered by a pergola. Stone steps lead to two further levels, one of which includes a wildlife pond with frogs and other amphibians, while the top terrace features a recently refurbished decked area—an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the valley views. A practical garden shed sits just beyond. The garden is well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and plants and has been carefully maintained by the current owner.

Brimscombe primary school is just down the road on Brimscombe Hill. The closest amenities are just down the hill at Brimscombe Corner and includes a general store and a take away. The Ship Inn is opposite, serving good food and beer, with The Long Table across the road and Stroud Brewery along the canal path. Stroud town is approximately three miles distant. The town benefits from a variety of local independent shops, stores and amenities. The wider area has a wide range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre, award winning weekly farmers market and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
