Bath Road, Kings Stanley, Stonehouse, GL10 3JJ

Could your first home have a little more character than you expected? 

Set within the sought-after village of King’s Stanley, this beautifully presented Victorian home combines period personality, three-storey living and a semi-rural setting, creating a home that feels a genuine step beyond the typical first-time purchase.

Approached via a driveway, the property immediately has a welcoming feel. Step through the front door and straight into a comfortable living room, where a feature fireplace provides a natural focal point and gives an immediate nod to the home’s Victorian heritage.

A central lobby has stairs rising to the first floor and opens through into the dining room, a great everyday space for everything from midweek dinners to having friends over. A substantial under-stairs cupboard provides valuable storage, while beyond sits the modern fitted kitchen, neatly finished and positioned to overlook the rear garden.

The first-floor landing separates two impressive spaces. To the front is the principal bedroom, a generous room overlooking the front aspect, while across the landing is the substantial family bathroom, offering considerably more space than you might expect from a home of this age.

Continue upstairs and the second floor reveals two further bedrooms, positioned to the front and rear respectively. Whether needed as bedrooms, a home office, dressing room or guest space, this additional floor gives the house room to adapt as life changes.

Throughout, the property has been tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. Character features have been retained and complemented by clean, modern touches, creating a home that feels warm, individual and ready to enjoy from day one. Double glazing and gas central heating add the practical comforts expected of modern living.

Outside, the cottage-style rear garden feels entirely in keeping with the house, an attractive space with plenty of personality and room to sit, relax and entertain. At the rear, a detached garden room adds another dimension, ideal for working from home, hobbies or simply escaping to somewhere separate from the main house.

And then there’s the location.

King’s Stanley offers that increasingly desirable balance between village and everyday convenience. Surrounded by beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, with walks and open green space close at hand, the village has its own strong sense of community while Stonehouse and Stroud provide a wider choice of shops, amenities and transport connections nearby. Access towards Gloucester and the M5 also makes the location practical for commuters.

For a first-time buyer looking beyond the conventional modern starter home, this is an opportunity to own something with history, character, outside space and three floors to grow into.

A proper home, in a proper village, with plenty of personality.  REF LH0563
