Summary - The Close, Ruscombe, Stroud, GL6 GL6 6DE
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful three-bedroom home with large garden and parking for families.
Elevated position with broad valley views
Set on an elevated plot with extensive valley views, this detached period cottage blends traditional character with generous living space. Ground-floor rooms flow from a spacious sitting room to a second reception room and a farmhouse-style kitchen, while an adjoining workshop and utility/boot room add practical storage and circulation. The tiered garden offers multiple patios, lawns, a summer house and three sheds for outside living and family play.
Upstairs provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a wide landing that can serve as a home office or play area. Two dedicated off-street parking spaces are accessed via Bridle Way, convenient for school runs and local errands. The setting is rural but well connected: local amenities in Whiteshill and Stroud, good and outstanding nearby schools, and a direct rail link to London Paddington (approx. 87 minutes).
Important practical points: the cottage was constructed before 1900 with stone walls that are assumed to have no insulation, and the double glazing installation date is unknown — buyers should expect retrofit work to improve thermal performance. Ceiling heights in some rooms are low, and there is a single family bathroom, which may influence suitability for larger families. Council tax is above average for the area.
This is a characterful, sizable family home in a highly desirable, affluent area. It will suit buyers seeking period features, outdoor space and scope to modernise energy efficiency and internal finishes to personal taste.
