This detached 2-bedroom bungalow sits in a popular Shepherds Croft location with far-reaching valley views and no onward chain. The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, open-plan sitting/dining room, sun room, newly fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. At about 694 sq ft it offers a manageable footprint for downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance single-storey home.
The property does require renovation in places and presents clear scope to update finishes and services. Heating is by room electric heaters and the home runs on electricity (no gas), so buyers should budget for potential heating upgrades and consider the implications of electric running costs. Broadband speeds are slow locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
Practical benefits include an integral garage with potential to convert (subject to planning), driveway parking and front and rear gardens. The rear garden and patio are currently overgrown and will need attention but offer a decent plot for planting or low-maintenance landscaping. Council tax is described as affordable, and the home is freehold.
Location is a strong selling point: Stroud’s independent shops, cafés and acclaimed farmers’ market are nearby, plus frequent rail links to London and good road access to the M5 and M4. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, making the bungalow suitable for downsizers or those looking for a quiet base with easy town access.
