Westward Road, Ebley, GL5

Some people have a real knack for creating a wonderful, welcoming home. The owners of 128 Westward Road certainly fall into that category, and we're thrilled to have been asked to market this super terraced house, where you'll find character and clever design touches everywhere you look. It's situated a couple of miles west of Stroud at Ebley. There's good schools and supermarkets close by, and waterside walks on the Stroudwater canal  just across the road. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched tiled roof and has been renovated and improved by the current owner. It's clear that real thought and care has gone into the refurbishment, with beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors.

An entrance hall with flagstone floor leads through to the living area. There are two reception rooms here, and whilst they are connected, they have their own style and feel. Both rooms have fireplaces, with a wood burning stove fitted in the dining room. The kitchen is at the rear of the house - a contemporary space with plenty of natural light, with a cloakroom/W.c beyond this. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, double bedroom and a large bathroom on this level. Two further bedrooms are found at the top of the house, on the second floor. Every room is tastefully decorated, and the windows at the front on the first and second floors look over the rooftops to Selsley Common in the distance.

Outside you'll find a landscaped rear garden and a small gravelled courtyard at the front of the house. This is enclosed with railings, with a gated  paved path that steps up to the front door. The kitchen door opens onto an enclosed rear courtyard and a gate at the rear opens onto a path that leads up to the garden. This comprises a lower gravelled area, planted with several impressive Cordyline plants, with a wooden decked terrace at the top - the perfect spot for a table and chair set to sit and enjoy the sun. The path is also used by the neighbouring property.

Ebley is close to the Stroudwater canal. Cross the road and walk down the way and you're on the canal path, with amenities at The Wharf including a café, bar and beauty salon on hand and a playing field just across the water. The house is also well placed for three supermarkets and primary and secondary schools. Stroud town is within easy reach and benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The recently opened Five Valleys shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit to sample the excellent range of food stalls and stores. The wider area has a good range of amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with a direct London (Paddington) service.
