A beautifully presented semi detached Victorian house situated within a popular road on the edge of the conservation area above Stroud with superb views, and large garden and lots of character features.
58 Bisley Road is a beautifully presented semi detached Victorian house situated in one of the best residential roads in Stroud. This location is well known locally for its vibrant, inclusive community and allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of the town with the daisy bank and country walks just along the road. The property is built using traditional methods of red brick under a pitched tiled roof and was the subject of a complete renovation programme approximately 12 years ago. It has undergone further improvement during the current owner's tenure, with flexible, character accommodation arranged over four floors.
An entrance hall, 14’ bedroom/reception room with bay window and sitting room are on the ground floor. A superb 25’ kitchen/family room with units from the Shaker Kitchen Company and glazed doors out onto the garden and a useful utility room/W.c are on the lower ground floor. A beautiful stripped wooden staircase runs up through the house with a landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The best bedroom is arguably at the top of the house, on the second floor. This large 15’ room has a fully glazed dormer window at the rear, making the most of the first class view over the garden and over the valley beyond. The house is tastefully decorated, and the layout means that a prospective buyer could use the property in a number of ways. A brilliant home, and very much a must view in our opinion.
The property benefits from a long rear garden. This is on the sunny side of the hill, and there is a superb view across the Golden Valley from the house and the upper garden. There is a level area behind the property. Glazed double doors open from the kitchen/family room onto this space, connecting the house and garden. There is a gated side access here, that leads back up to Bisley Road. A gate in a picket fence leads to a small timber deck. The view from this spot is superb, with steps down to the lower garden. There is a useful store under the steps, with the rear garden then stretching down away from the house. This is terraced, and mostly laid to lawn with established trees and borders. The lower area is very much a wild garden with a composting area the bottom.
It's with good reason that Stroud was voted ‘Best place to live in the UK 2021’ by The Sunday Times. Sitting at the point at which five valleys converge, and surrounded by rolling hills within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Stroud is a small town with a huge heart, which has captured the imagination of many over the years. There’s plenty to see and do - Stroud has a great variety of shops, cafes, pubs and amenities, including a busy leisure centre, library, museum and award-winning weekly farmers’ market. Many of Stroud’s shops are independent and family-run. More recent development has seen the relaunch of the Five Valleys shopping centre and the town also has a cinema, ten-pin bowling and a central gym. Stroud has a proud, thriving local community, one steeped in music, art, creativity and environmental issues. There is a wealth of countryside on the doorstep, including three beautiful commons, as well as walks along the historic canal and River Frome. Parents can take their pick from a range of good schools, including a comprehensive and two grammar schools, and there is also a college of further and higher education. Stroud is also superbly placed for access to the M5 and has a direct line train service to London.
