Far Wells Road, Bisley, Stroud, GL6

A beautifully presented detached period Cotswold stone cottage, tucked away in a peaceful no-through road and enjoying delightful views across a wooded valley. Combining character features with thoughtfully updated contemporary interiors, the property has been extensively improved by the current owners to create a stylish and versatile home. The accommodation has been extended to provide a home office, ideal for modern remote working, together with a conservatory/dining room that flows seamlessly into the newly fitted kitchen, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. The cosy sitting room retains its wealth of character, featuring a Cotswold stone fireplace with inset wood-burning stove and exposed timber flooring. The cottage now offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the guest bedroom benefiting from a newly created en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and has direct access to a lovely terraced seating area over looking the garden, and is complemented by a beautifully appointed, newly fitted family bathroom finished to a high standard. Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, attractive mature cottage gardens, and an enviable setting in one of the area's most peaceful locations, making this an exceptional blend of period charm and modern convenience.

Agents Note: There is planning live for a purchaser to rebuild the conservatory end of the house sholud they wish. Further details can be found on Stroud District Council website using the ref number: S.21/0649/HHOLD

The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners to create a series of enchanting outdoor spaces that perfectly complement the character of the property. Offering a wonderful blend of colour, texture and structure throughout the seasons, the gardens provide an idyllic setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Approached from the lane, Cotswold stone steps lead to an attractive paved terrace and the charming porch with timber thumblatch front door, while further stone steps rise to the conservatory/dining room. Across the flagstone courtyard there is a door leading to the handy store/garden shed which is sub-terainian under the seating area. A pretty gate leads into the leading to the principal garden. Here, well-maintained lawn areas are framed by beautifully stocked flower and shrub borders, mature trees and established planting, creating a delightful sense of privacy and seclusion, and lead up to the sunny seating area, an inviting spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Accessed from the dining room/conservatory is a further garden terrace, leading to the newley built home office and further seating area (currently used as parking for a motorbike) that can be accessed through a gate from the lane above the cottage.
