High Street, Chalford, Stroud

Elevated above the picturesque High Street of Chalford and enjoying delightful views across the village rooftops towards the wooded valley beyond, Tankard House is a detached Grade II listed period home, with detached garage, occupying a desirable south-facing position in the heart of this Cotswold community. Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been sympathetically enhanced, combining period charm with tasteful contemporary finishes. Approached through the pretty front garden, the main entrance is sheltered beneath an elegant canopy. The front door opens into a hall, from which stairs rise to the first floor and doors lead into the principal reception rooms. The impressive sitting room is light and spacious, benefiting from two windows overlooking the front garden. A substantial fireplace with a striking stone surround and wood-burning stove creates a focal point, while parquet flooring adds further character. The formal dining room is equally attractive, enjoying views and featuring a fireplace with wood-burning stove and bespoke fitted storage and shelving. Beyond, the traditional kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry and oak worktops, with appliances including a range cooker, dishwasher and two drawer fridge. A door provides access to the garden, while an internal door leads to a substantial utility and storage area housing the boiler. The first floor is particularly appealing. A landing, arranged as a snug, provides a versatile additional living space with exposed beams and attractive views towards the valley. Doors lead to bedrooms one and two, together with the family shower room, while a staircase rises to the second floor. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely south-facing outlook and benefits from a stylish en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding stone composite bath and bespoke vanity unit. Bedroom two is another beautiful room, and this combined with two pretty second floor bedrooms is served by the stylish modern shower room.
