Bath Road, Stroud

Description

This pretty cottage dates back to the 1800s and has been thoughtfully extended to create a beautifully balanced family home. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a cloakroom and a practical coats cupboard. From here, step into the inviting dining room, an ideal space for entertaining, which flows naturally into the light and airy kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen features a range of fitted wall and base units, a breakfast bar, and space for a table and chairs. A stable door opens directly onto the garden, bringing the outside in and offering lovely views over the surrounding greenery. A door from the dining room leads into the cosy sitting room, full of period charm with its exposed stone wall, wood-burning stove, and timber beams, the perfect space to unwind. Upstairs, the first floor offers three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom complete with a bath and separate walk in shower. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front of the cottage, enjoys picturesque views over the garden and benefits from a modern en-suite shower room. A staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a fourth bedroom tucked into the eaves, with a separate dressing or study area. This charming space is full of natural light from two Velux windows and a sweet porthole window with a delightful view of the garden, perfect for guests, teenagers, or use as a home office.

Outside

The cottage is approached via a shared driveway that leads to an oak framed double carport with power and light, provision for two EV charging points, and a lockable storage area to the rear, as well as additional parking for two to three cars. From here, steps guide you down into a beautifully tended garden, a true highlight of the property. Enclosed by a combination of a handsome red brick wall and mature hedging, the garden offers a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. The generous lawned garden has a gently sloping aspect and a quintessentially cottage feel, with colourful planted borders, established shrubs, and a stand of silver birch trees providing seasonal interest. A paved stepped path winds through the garden to the front door and connects various seating areas, including a lovely terrace beside the summer house, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. There is a productive vegetable patch with an adjacent greenhouse, ideal for keen gardeners, as well as a small shed and a brick-built store for additional storage. A pretty pond adds to the peaceful ambiance, while the thoughtfully designed layout makes the most of the space and natural beauty of the setting.
