Spacious detached house over three floors, ~2,000 sq ft
Set on a very large plot at the foot of Rodborough Common, this deceptively spacious detached house delivers flexible family living across three floors and just over 2,000 sq ft. The main middle level opens into a bright open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors to a generous terrace and far-reaching valley views. Gardens step down to a wildflower lawn, greenhouse and vegetable patch—ideal for outdoor family life and entertaining.
Internally the house offers multiple reception rooms, a top-floor master with large picture window, and five bedrooms in total. The lower ground area provides direct access to the driveway, garage and workshop and could be adapted into a self-contained annexe (subject to consents). Two bathrooms include a substantial family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for two cars, attached garage, mains gas central heating, double glazing upgraded after 2002 and very low local crime in an affluent area. Stroud town centre is about 1.2 miles away with shops, a weekly farmers’ market and strong secondary schools nearby, making this a convenient semi-rural family base.
Considerations: the house dates from the 1950s/1970s era and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. The layout is split over multiple levels, which suits families but may be less convenient for those requiring single-floor living. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is moderate.
