Valley View Road, Stroud, GL5

Here's a well kept extended semi detached house situated in an established residential road high above Stroud. The shops, amenities and train station of the town are just over a mile away, with open countryside and walks just up the hill. The property has been owned by our client's family for over forty years (a sure sign of a good house)  and it has been extended in that time, with the addition of a single storey kitchen at the rear of the house. The original kitchen area has been converted into a shower room, complementing the bathroom on the first floor. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. An entrance hall, 22' sitting/dining room with glazed doors that open onto the garden, kitchen and shower room 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. The house is well proportioned, and there is a good view from the back bedroom over the garden and into the valley behind. A comfortable home, available with no onward chain.

Outside you'll find a garage, parking and a good garden. The gated drive is to the side of the property, with space to park several cars, The garage is beyond this - detached, with an up and over door and personal door. There is a level lawn to the front, with a planted border to the side, with the majority of the garden to the rear of the house. This is south facing and sunny, with a level lawn that stretches away from property, intersected by a path that leads down through the plot.

It's with good reason that Stroud was voted ‘Best place to live in the UK 2021’ by The Sunday Times. Sitting at the point at which five valleys converge, and surrounded by rolling hills within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Stroud is a small town with a huge heart, which has captured the imagination of many over the years. There’s plenty to see and do - Stroud has a great variety of shops, cafes, pubs and amenities, including a busy leisure centre, library, museum and award-winning weekly farmers’ market. Many of Stroud’s shops are independent and family-run. More recent development has seen the relaunch of the Five Valleys shopping centre and the town also has a cinema, ten-pin bowling and a central gym. Stroud has a proud, thriving local community, one steeped in music, art, creativity and environmental issues. There is a wealth of countryside on the doorstep, including three beautiful commons, as well as walks along the historic canal and River Frome. Parents can take their pick from a range of good schools, including a comprehensive and two grammar schools, and there is also a college of further and higher education. Stroud is also superbly placed for access to the M5 and has a direct line train service to London.
