Down View, Stroud

Description

Nestled in a quiet setting lies this well-presented and extended three-bedroom detached home sits on a generous corner plot, offering ample parking and a beautifully sized garden. As you enter, you'll find a double bedroom to your left and a shower room to your right, with the hallway leading into the sitting room, kitchen/diner, and utility room. The sitting room is a charming space, featuring a cosy enclosed wood burner and French doors that open out to the garden. From here, the home flows into the bright and airy kitchen/dining room, illuminated by two Velux windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen/dining area is well-equipped with a range of wall and base units, built-in appliances and a breakfast bar. Another set of French doors opens onto a gravelled area outside. As shown on the floorplan, the ground floor offers flexible accommodation that can function as either a single-level living space or a split-level layout, making it perfect for anyone seeking the convenience of living entirely on one level. Upstairs, the first floor offers two additional bedrooms, both with eaves storage. The main bedroom also features built-in wardrobes. A modern shower room completes this level.

Outside

The outdoor space is a true asset to the property. At the front, you’ll find ample off-road parking, a small lawned area and a pathway leading to the front door. As seen in the photos, gates provide access to additional parking, currently used for a motorhome and a log store. The private rear garden is enclosed by fencing and features a well-maintained lawn with beautifully planted borders. A veranda covers the Indian sandstone patio, creating the perfect spot for covered alfresco dining. Additionally, the rear garden has a handy shed with power, a log store and a pergola that leads to the charming summer house, adding further appeal to the outdoor space. The current vendors have installed Indian sandstone slabs wrapping around the property, making access easy to all parts of the house.
