This attractive Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage sits in an elevated position on Summer Street, offering long views across the Slad valley. The house is compact (about 545 sq ft) but very well presented, with many period features retained — a stone fireplace, wood-burning stove, exposed beams and a vaulted upper bedroom. The garden is established and versatile, with raised beds, lawns, a sunken fire pit and a decked area with a studio/garden room.
The layout suits a couple or downsizer seeking character close to Stroud town centre; local shops and countryside walks are nearby and Stroud’s top-performing secondary schools are within reach. The property is freehold and benefits from excellent mobile signal and cheap council tax.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing may restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or extensions. The house is small and multi-storey, which may limit storage and adaptability. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the local crime level is higher than average; these are practical matters to consider alongside the cottage’s charm.
