A rare opportunity to own a modernised Grade II listed Cotswold stone barn and adjoining coach house conversion situated on a private road on the edge of Stonehouse. The house is situated in a conservation area and lies a short walk from the historic Stroudwater canal and the lovely church of St. Cyr’s which overlooks an area of water known as ‘The Ocean’ - one of the most photographed scenes in the Cotswolds. This location allows for easy access to the shops, amenities, and train station of Stonehouse, with countryside and canal walks close by. The ground floor comprises a 25’ kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating under a tiled floor and access to the rear garden via an attractive arched doorway; a 17’ reception room; an inviting 19’ dual aspect living room with woodburning stove and access to the rear garden; an office/study area; separate w/c. On the first floor is a gallery style landing with windows over it; a 17’ master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, loft storage, and en-suite with bath and separate shower; a 12’ bedroom two; shower room with w/c; 12’ bedroom three. Returning to the ground floor there is direct communication to the adjoining former coach house which has a side porch; a south facing 24’ reception room with double door access to the rear garden; a wet room with w/c; upstairs is a landing, cupboard and two bedrooms - one at 13’ and one at 9’. The property benefits from gas central heating and good-quality hardwood secondary glazing. This delightful property has charm and quality throughout with attractive features including an original external clock face, detailed stonework, an arched doorway, and wooden beams to name but a few. The current vendors have thoroughly improved the property by installing secondary glazing, the en-suite bathroom, a modern shower room and separate wet room, installing solid Oak internal doors, as well as undertaking regular general maintenance. This unique property boasts large and flexible living spaces, and the opportunity for inter-generational living if so desired.
The interior is complemented by having large, private, and well-maintained front and rear gardens surrounded by Cotswold stone walls and hedging on three sides. The rear garden is accessed from the kitchen, living room, reception room and side gate: it features coach house style original paving with well-established borders and raised beds, and is ideal for al-fresco dining. The garden to the front benefits from a patio seating area, log store, lawn, a side garden containing fruit trees, a double garage with power, light and loft storage and ample driveway parking.
Stonehouse is a friendly little town with a big heart and a proud community spirit. It is a great place to live, primary and secondary schools, has a direct railway line to London and is located just 2.5 miles from the M5 motorway. Stonehouse has all the facilities one would expect of a small town, including a GP surgery, Co-op supermarket, three playing fields, pubs and a bustling High Street with independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. The town is also the location for Wycliffe College, a private school with boarding facilities. But in keeping with the rest of the Stroud area, residents are never far from stunning scenery. The renovated historic Stroudwater Canal runs through Stonehouse and the town is also on the doorstep of the beautiful Doverow Hill and a lovely cycle trail which runs to Nailsworth. Stroud – sometimes referred to as ‘Notting Hill with Wellies’ and ‘Covent Garden in the Cotswolds’ – is approximately 2 miles away and boasts an award-winning weekly farmers market, a thriving arts scene, independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, five supermarkets - including Waitrose, Boy’s and Girl’s grammar schools, and a hospital.
