Set on a large plot in a sought-after village, this stone detached home blends genuine period character with practical modern comforts. The living room shows exposed beams and a window seat; bifold doors open to a paved patio and a generous garden with broad countryside views — excellent for outdoor living and entertaining. Off-street parking and quick access to local amenities add everyday convenience in a peaceful, low-crime area.
The house is compact internally (about 1,097 sq ft) with four bedrooms and a single bathroom, so it suits a family seeking village life rather than someone needing extensive internal living space. The building dates from before 1900 and has stone walls with no known insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. The property has an EPC rating of E and higher-than-average council tax, so buyers should factor in energy-efficiency and running costs.
There is clear scope to improve and personalise the home — potential for insulation upgrades, heating and energy-efficiency work, and interior reconfiguration if desired. Flood risk is low and services include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators. Local schools, village amenities and good transport links to Stroud and beyond make this an appealing spot for families wanting a tranquil countryside base within commuting reach.
