This late 17th-century Grade II listed semi-detached house in Old Stroud blends authentic Cotswold stone character with flexible family living across three floors. Ground-floor living includes two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens to a rear lobby and garden — a practical layout for everyday family life and entertaining. Period features such as timber beams, stone mullion windows and a wood-burning stove give the house strong character and warmth.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a versatile attic level currently arranged as a fourth bedroom, dressing area, study/hobbies space and cloakroom. The attic offers scope as a principal suite, teenage den or home office. Mains electricity, water and gas central heating are connected; there is private off-street parking for a small/medium car and a decent-sized garden providing outside privacy.
To the rear, L-shaped Cotswold stone outbuildings have listed-building consent (S.17/1485/LBC) for conversion into a one-bedroom guest annexe with studio/music room; the scheme is partially completed but the single-storey section remains derelict. That outbuilding work represents clear potential for additional accommodation or rental income but will require completion and careful handling under listed-building restrictions.
Important practical points: the house’s listed status will complicate alteration or extension and repairs must follow conservation requirements. The outbuildings’ partial conversion is unfinished and will need both funds and listed-works oversight to complete. The property is in an area with higher crime statistics — consider security measures — and parking is limited to one small/medium space. Overall, this is a characterful family home with income and conversion potential for buyers willing to manage the constraints of a listed building.
