A distinctive ground-floor one-bedroom in a converted chapel, tucked away yet only 0.6 miles from Stroud town centre. The apartment is chain free, newly renovated and double-glazed, with high ceilings and large chapel-style windows that give real character and generous natural light. The open-plan living area includes a contemporary fitted kitchen and French doors opening onto a quiet courtyard.
Part of a small cohousing community, the building offers communal facilities: a shared kitchen/diner, utility/laundry, dining/study room, bike store and well-kept communal gardens. A local car-share scheme reduces the need for private parking and keeps running costs low. Tenure is freehold and the stated service charge is below average (£360), with an ethos of shared upkeep and volunteer contributions to keep costs down.
Practical points to note: the apartment is compact and best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and the area records higher-than-average crime — both factors to consider if remote working or security are priorities. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and underfloor heating; the building was constructed in the 2003–2006 period and has modern fittings throughout.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers or investors looking for a low-cost entry into Stroud with strong local amenities on the doorstep, distinctive period character and a supportive cohousing community. Viewing will quickly show whether the scale, communal lifestyle and slower broadband suit your needs.
