The Green, Stone, Berkeley, GL13 9LB

Dating back to 1743, this handsome former vicarage occupies an enviable position in the heart of the sought-after village of Stone, nestled between All Saints' Church and the village green. The property has been sympathetically and extensively improved in recent years, combining its rich heritage with thoughtfully considered modern additions, including a bespoke David Salisbury orangery and hand-crafted kitchen.

At the heart of the home is the beautifully appointed Jonathan Randall kitchen, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, elegant granite worktops, under-cabinet lighting, a pantry cupboard and an Everhot range cooker. Tumbled limestone flooring flows seamlessly through the kitchen, orangery, boot room and utility, all warmed by underfloor heating supplied via an air-source heat pump. The orangery, complete with bespoke fitted blinds, provides a wonderful family living space, flooded with natural light from its lantern roof with electric blinds and opening onto the gardens through French doors. Practicality has not been overlooked, with a generous boot room, utility and rear lobby offering excellent storage and day-to-day functionality.

The limestone flooring continues into the welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms are accessed. The shower room retains an original carved beam dated 1743 and has been stylishly updated with a contemporary suite and large shower enclosure. The snug is a cosy retreat centred around a fireplace with wood-burning stove, while the dining room and drawing room showcase the character and proportions expected of a home of this period, complete with shuttered sash windows overlooking the churchyard. The dining room has been sensitively modernised and features a wood-burning stove, whilst the drawing room offers an exciting opportunity for a future owner to place their own stamp on the property. The original front door, complete with historic keys and ironmongery, opens onto the front garden with its delightful outlook towards the church.

Arranged over two upper floors are eight bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC. A particularly impressive landing, illuminated by a full-height sash window, serves the principal bedrooms. Several rooms have already been updated, while others offer scope for further enhancement to suit individual tastes.

Outside, the property enjoys level gardens extending to approximately 0.46 acres, laid predominantly to lawn and complemented by an extensive patio ideal for entertaining. A timber summerhouse has power, a garage, boiler room and detached stone-built workshop with hayloft above all benefit from light and power, providing excellent versatility. Timber gates open from The Green onto a generous paved driveway, whilst a pedestrian gate provides direct access to the churchyard. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Stone's landmark homes and complete the careful stewardship of a property that has already benefited from significant investment, creating a truly special village residence for generations to come.

Stone is a well-regarded Gloucestershire village, surrounded by open countryside yet exceptionally well placed for access throughout the region. The village enjoys an ideal position near Junction 14 of the M5, and is ideal for those seeking a quieter rural setting without compromising on connectivity to Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

The village has a welcoming and established community feel, centred around its well-regarded primary school, playgroup, parish church and village green. Nearby Falfield offers further day-to-day amenities including a village shop and post office, while the historic town of Berkeley provides a wider range of independent shops, cafés and local services. Popular Katharine Lady Berkeley School (KLB) provides an excellent option for secondary education.

The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of walking routes and country lanes to explore, with easy access to the Cotswold escarpment and the Severn Vale. Nearby Thornbury and Wotton-under-Edge offer a broader selection of supermarkets, restaurants and leisure facilities, while rail services from Cam & Dursley and Bristol Parkway provide convenient links to Bristol, Gloucester and London.

Stone remains a popular choice for families and commuters alike, combining a strong sense of community with excellent accessibility and the appeal of village living.
