Selsley Road, North Woodchester, GL5

The Sheiling is a beautifully presented semi-detached Victorian home in a sought-after spot in the popular village of Woodchester. There is a real community feel here, with an 'outstanding' (Ofsted Feb 2023) primary school, a village shop and a good pub just up the hill and countryside walks on the doorstep. Built from traditional Cotswold stone, the property has been carefully and sympathetically improved over the years, and the result is a home that retains all the charm and character of its Victorian origins whilst offering beautifully considered, contemporary living spaces.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor, an entrance hall with original ceiling arch leads into a 12' sitting room with wood burning stove. A second door from the hall leads to another reception room with wood burning stove, which in turn connects to a superb 15' kitchen/breakfast room with lantern roof, flooding the space with natural light, and double doors opening onto the rear garden, connecting the inside with the outside. A utility room and cloakroom complete this floor. On the first floor there is a landing, two bedrooms and a  bathroom with separate shower. A double bedroom with an en suite shower room is at the top of the house, on the second floor. The property is tastefully decorated, and the sash windows at the front look out over the road to the fields beyond. 

Outside you'll find a level rear garden with cabin outbuilding, parking and a carport. The drive is set at the side of the house, with space to park two cars in tandem and a car port over, with useful wood store. Gates leads into the rear garden. This lovely space is beautifully kept and planted. Directly behind the house, double doors open from the kitchen onto a generous paved terrace - a lovely spot for outdoor dining, with colour and interest everywhere you look from the well stocked borders surrounding it. The garden continues beyond, with a lawn flanked by mature trees, established shrubs and abundant planting giving a real sense of privacy. At the far end, productive raised vegetable beds lead to an insulated 13'2 studio/cabin outbuilding with power and light. This is a versatile space that would work equally well as a home office, studio or creative retreat.

North Woodchester lies midway between Nailsworth and Stroud and has a local post office/shop providing everyday requirements together with a local pub, Church and well regarded primary school within walking distance. Nailsworth which is within two miles has become an increasingly popular shopping destination within the Stroud Valleys benefiting from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of very well regarded restaurants. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (4 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
