6 Kingscourt Lane, Stroud, GL5

Built in 1952 and cherished as a family home by the same owners ever since, The Limes is a property with real soul. Sitting in a prime spot on Kingscourt Lane within the parish of Rodborough, this is a good address, popular with families, with two well regarded primary schools within easy reach and hundreds of acres of National Trust land just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons. This handsome, individual detached house now offers a fortunate buyer the opportunity to renovate and remodel to their own tastes, whilst retaining the wonderful proportions and character that make it so special.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Parquet flooring runs through the entrance hall and dining room, the latter currently carpeted though well worth investigating! A sunny 14' sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room with pantry complete the ground floor. The original staircase leads to a landing, three well proportioned bedrooms and a shower room above. A large bay window in the dining room looks onto the pretty garden, and the rear windows take in a lovely outlook towards Selsley. Available with no onward chain, and a must for your viewing list in our opinion.

The interior is complemented by a gated driveway with parking for several vehicles and delightful gardens to the front and rear. To the front, the driveway is flanked by wonderfully mature and established planting, with clipped topiary shrubs giving a real sense of arrival. A gate leads to the front door, with stocked borders and established hedging framing the approach beautifully. There is a garage with double doors to the side, which is in need of some attention. The rear garden is something rather special — a generous, enclosed space with a warm brick wall wrapping around the boundary, giving it a wonderfully private and sheltered feel. Laid to lawn with deep, colourful borders stocked with a variety of established plants and shrubs, a path meanders through the planting past a pergola arch to the upper garden. This is a space that has been carefully and lovingly tended over many decades, and it shows.

Amenities available within the vicinity include the well regarded Gastrells School which is a short walk up the road the Kings Head public house, with some 200 acres of National Trust land at Rodborough and Minchinhampton Commons found just up the road. A wider range of facilities are available in nearby Stroud approximately 2 miles distant to include an excellent range of state and private schools, restaurants and public houses, an award winning weekly farmers market, leisure and sports centre and also a main line railway station with intercity services connecting with London (Paddington). Gloucester (8 miles), Cheltenham (12 miles) Cirencester (15 miles) and Bristol (20 miles) and respectively Junction 13 (M5 motorway) is also within easy driving distance.
