Marling Crescent, Paganhill, Stroud, GL5

5 Marling Crescent is an older style semi detached house in a good position in this well regarded, community orientated road. The location is convenient, and allows for easy access to local shops, amenities and several good schools, with country walks just up the road. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched tiled roof with accommodation arranged over two floors. It is in need of some refurbishment now, but provides an excellent opportunity for a buyer to put their own mark on a chain free house in a popular spot.

An entrance hall, kitchen, dining room and 17' sitting room with glazed doors out to the garden are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, three bedrooms and a bathroom on this level. Houses here always sell well, and we're expecting  to be busy with viewings. An early appointment to view is recommended.

The interior is complemented by a gravelled drive with plenty of space to park, a carport and garage and a good rear garden. The drive is gated, and at the front of the property, with a low maintenance garden to the side. The garage is set to the side of the house, with an up and over door and a carport to the front. A gated side access leads through to the rear garden. This is level and sunny, with a large paved area directly behind the house and a gravelled garden beyond, edged with established shrubs and planting. This extends behind the garage, with a greenhouse sited here. 

The property is situated 1.5 miles West of Stroud. There are shops and amenities close by with Archway, Marling and Stroud High School in easy reach at Cainscross. Stroud town is only a short drive away and was recently voted “Best place to live in the UK 2021" by the Sunday Times. There is a great community here that benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of shops and food stalls. The wider area benefits from a leisure and sports centre, a cinema and a main line railway station, with a regular direct London (Paddington) service. Nailsworth (4 miles) Cirencester (11 miles), Cheltenham (14 miles) and Swindon (26 miles), are all within comfortable driving distance. Junction 13, M5 motorway is approximately 8 miles distant.
