A detached double fronted Victorian house in need of renovation set between two popular residential roads in Kings Stanley with a large level corner plot garden, parking, a garage and potential to extend (subject to planning permission) offered to the market chain free.
Wayside is a detached Victorian double fronted house in large level plot in a great position within Kings Stanley, a popular village to the west of Stroud. This location is very much part of the thriving local community and allows for easy access to the shops, school and amenities of the village, with some lovely walks just up the road. The property was built C.1860 as a classic double fronted villa house typical of the era and has been extended over the years. It has been in the current family for approximately one hundred years. It is now in need of complete renovation, but offers a unique opportunity for a prospective buyer to create a super home to their own tastes and standards.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. A porch, 14' sitting room, 13' dining room, 15' garden room, kitchen, bathroom and glazed lobby are on the ground floor, with two bedrooms on the floor above. One of these bedrooms is currently partitioned to create two adjoining rooms. Most of the windows look out over the large level garden, and the property is offered to the market with no onward chain.
The property benefits from a large, well stocked garden, parking and a garage. The parking and garage are at the side of the house, with the garage in need of renovation. The garden is to the front of the house and has clearly been a real focus for the current owner over the years. It's full of established plants and bursting with colour, with lawned areas dotted through the plot which are surrounded by borders. The total plot measures 0.192 acres. The current owner has taken time to discuss the possibility of development of the property with Stroud District Council (SDC) who were supportive of the prospect of side extension of the existing dwelling. SDC also stated they may be amenable to a planning application for a small single storey additional dwelling within the grounds, accessed via a driveway off Shute Street.
The property is situated in New Street, a quiet road just off the village centre. The village of Kings Stanley benefits from a range of amenities and two good schools with straight forward access to the motorway also closeby. Stonehouse is approximately a mile distant and offers a good range of shops and amenities within its level High Street with primary and secondary schools also within the vicinity. Stonehouse railway station offers a direct line to London (Paddington). Junction 13 of the M5 motorway is approximately two miles distant with a wider range of shops available in the towns of Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
