Westrip, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6

Tucked away in an elevated position within the sought-after hamlet of Westrip, this attractive home is a beautifully presented detached chalet-style home that combines modern comfort with versatile living spaces. Offering far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, this property is perfectly suited to those seeking both tranquillity and convenience, with Stroud town centre just a short drive away (c.2 miles).

The accommodation is light and spacious throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a generous sitting room with feature fireplace, which in turn flows into a bright conservatory. The kitchen/dining room is thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage and workspace, making it ideal for family life and entertaining. A separate utility room provides further practicality, while a recently refitted ground floor shower room adds to the home’s flexibility.

There are three double bedrooms in total, one on the ground floor and two on the first floor, offering great versatility for guests, home working or multi-generational living. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the first-floor bedrooms.

Outside, the gardens are a real feature of the property - beautifully stocked and providing a variety of spaces for outdoor dining, gardening and relaxation. To the front and side there is ample off-road parking, and a sizeable stone barn/garage/workshop offers excellent storage, hobby space or potential for further adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.

This property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy village living in a peaceful setting, with countryside walks from the doorstep, yet with the amenities of Stroud, excellent schools and mainline railway services all within easy reach.

Westrip sits on the hillside fringing Stroud, part of the parish of Randwick & Westrip, and enjoys that classic Cotswold-edge outlook - west across the Severn Vale with big-sky views towards the hills beyond. Footpaths and commons are close at hand, with the Cotswold Way skirting nearby at Selsley and Coaley Peak, both famed local viewpoints.

Stroud itself, at the meeting point of the Five Valleys, has a creative, independent spirit. The Subscription Rooms in the town centre hosts year-round music, comedy and exhibitions, while the Museum in the Park, set within Stratford Park, celebrates the area’s rich textile heritage and social history. Saturdays are all about Stroud Farmers’ Market, a multi-award-winning fixture and one of the UK’s best-known markets for local produce.

Schooling is a major draw. Stroud High School (girls’ grammar) and Marling (boys’ grammar) sit side-by-side just down the hill, with Archway School as a well-regarded comprehensive nearby; a good choice of independents is also within easy reach, including Beaudesert Park in Minchinhampton, Wycliffe College in Stonehouse and, further afield, Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies’ College.

Connections are straightforward: Stroud station offers regular Great Western Railway services to London Paddington - fastest journeys from around an hour and a half - while road links put Bath and Bristol within comfortable driving distance via the A46 and M5.
