Bowbridge Lane, Stroud, GL5

1 Vine Court is a handsome Grade II listed house situated in a popular residential road on the edge of Stroud. This location is very much part of the thriving community of our vibrant town, with the shops, amenities and train station within easy reach and canal side walks at the bottom of the road. Historic England informs us that the property was first listed in 1974. According to this entry, the property dates back to the mid 18th century, and notes intricate hood moulding, arched windows with bar tracery, oriel windows and a canted bay with crenelated parapet as character features of particular historic value. The property has been a happy family home for our client for some 29 years and has been the subject of comprehensive improvement during that time.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with every floor full of wonderful original architectural features. A kitchen/breakfast room with French doors out to the garden, dining room with fireplace and utility room are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the dining room to the first floor, with a sitting room with five windows to three aspects, inner hall with French doors out to the rear balcony, bedroom with beautiful stained glass window and bathroom on this floor. Two connecting bedrooms and a single bedroom are at the top of the house, on the second floor. The property tastefully decorated and styled, with character and interest everywhere you look, and the windows at the rear of the house look out over the rear garden and to The Heavens beyond.

The property benefits from a large rear garden with a south easterly aspect and a lovely view across the valley to countryside at The Heavens. You can walk out into the garden either from the kitchen or from the door of the turret, which houses the staircase. Steps lead up from the kitchen door to the garden, with a brick paviour path curving through open lawns to a paved seating area. This is a great place for a table and chair set or an outdoor sofa, and an opportunity to look back at the architecture of the house, including the unique turret with castellations. Steps lead down from the top lawn to the lower garden. This generous area is also laid to lawn, and slopes down away from the property. There are mature trees dotted throughout the site and several useful sheds, with the whole plot measuring 0.252 of an acre.

Stroud town centre which is a short walk away along with canal-side walks offers a wide range of shops and amenities. These include supermarkets, local speciality stores, a hospital, state and private schools and an award winning weekly farmers' market. There is also a main line railway station with Intercity services connecting with London (Paddington). Gloucester (9 miles), Cheltenham, Cirencester and Bristol are all within 30 miles proximity. Junction 13 of the M5 motorway is also within easy driving distance.
