Rodborough Hill, Rodborough, GL5

Some people have a real knack for creating a wonderful, welcoming home. The owners of this handsome property certainly fall into that category, and we're delighted to have been asked to market this spacious Victorian house, which is situated in an elevated spot on ever popular Rodborough Hill. There is a great community here, with the legendary Prince Albert pub and a good primary school on the same road. The shops, amenities and train station of Stroud are within easy reach as well as hundreds of acres of National Trust land at the top of Rodborough Hill.

Richmond House has been a happy home for the current family for some fifteen years. They have improved and refined the space they bought, making the very most of the light and the character of the building. The result is a comfortable, yet stylish, well balanced accommodation arranged over three floors. A large entrance hall greets you, with the sitting room to the right. This room has a fireplace with wood burning stove, with a wood store recess to the side, The second reception room could suit as a dining room, playroom, teenage den or study, with the kitchen/dining room found at the end of the hall. This 17' room has contemporary kitchen units and plenty of space to cook, eat, congregate and entertain. There's also a useful utility room and a cloakroom/W.C on this floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, principal bedroom with modern en suite bathroom, family bathroom and further double bedroom on this level. Another double bedroom is at the top of the house. The house is decorated with contemporary colours and interest everywhere you look. A real gem, and a must for your viewing list.

The property benefits from a sunny rear garden with a roof terrace for long afternoons and al fresco dinners. The garden opens out behind the house, and is predominantly paved, with a gravelled area at the very rear. Established borders surround the garden providing an abundance of texture and colour. A timber deck runs along the side of the kitchen, and a set of steps lead up from the garden to a roof terrace. This is a great space, laid to artificial lawn, with railings surrounding and a super view across the rooftops of Rodborough and the countryside of Selsley in the distance. The parking space is set behind the garden, with the plot enclosed with fencing and handy rear access.
