Bridge Mead, Ebley, GL5

44 Bridge Mead is a well presented four bedroom detached house situated on the edge of the Stroudwater Canal at Ebley, with towpath walks right on the doorstep and the wider amenities of Stroud within easy reach. The house was built by Persimmon Homes in August 2007, and the current owner fell in love with the waterside position, reserving the plot before it was even built. Their instincts proved spot on - the properties that front directly on to the canal have become highly desirable, with long towpath walks in either direction and a great amenity space close by at The Wharf, a courtyard by the lock, and home to Kitsch coffee and wine bar, a lovely spot to meet friends and socialise.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers plenty of space, ideally arranged for busy modern life. On the ground floor an entrance hall leads to a generous 20' kitchen/dining room with plenty of room for cooking, eating and entertaining. A 20' sitting room with French doors opening onto the garden is set on the other side of the hall. A cloakroom/W.C and useful utility room complete this floor. A landing, principal bedroom with two double wardrobes and an en suite shower room, family bathroom and three further bedrooms are found above, on the first floor. An attractive, practical house with no onward chain - viewing highly recommended.

At the rear, the property benefits from a detached garage with up and over door, shed and a drive with space to park two/three vehicles. The rear garden is a private, enclosed space - mainly laid to lawn, with a paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining and furniture. Double doors open from the sitting room on to the patio and the kitchen is at the rear of the house too, so it's easy to step out from the house into the garden with your morning coffee, and to keep an eye on children whilst they play. There is a gated side access, and the front boundary of the property is defined with attractive railings, with the front door opening onto the tow path.

Amenities locally at The Wharf include a coffee shop/bar and hair salon. These are gathered around a central square, on the lock, with access to the canal path with a level walk in to Stroud. Stroud town centre offers a wide range of shops and amenities. These include supermarkets, local speciality stores, a hospital, state and private schools and the award winning farmers market. There is also a main line railway station with a direct London (Paddington) service. Gloucester (9 miles), Cheltenham, Cirencester and Bristol are all within comfortable driving distance.
