2 bed terraced house for sale

Cainscross Road, Stroud GL5

Welcome to Garden Cottage, a unique single storey character property in a hidden location at popular Cainscross. This tucked away position behind an imposing Grade II Listed house is a level mile from the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud centre, with canal side walks also close by. The property is built using traditional methods from red brick under a pitched tiled roof, with well proportioned accommodation arranged over one floor.

You enter via a porch, into a large sitting room. This measures 19' X 13', with a fireplace with woodburning stove. An inner hall is beyond this, which leads onto the other rooms in the property. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the rear of the building, with space for a table and a view over the playing field behind. In addition, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Large windows and well proportioned rooms enhance the feeling of space. This is a unique property, offered to the market with no onward chain.

The property benefits from parking and a surprisingly large walled garden. You enter via a stone pillared driveway, with this first part of the drive belonging to 174 Cainscross Road. The parking area for Garden Cottage is by the property, with space to park and turn. There is a level lawn here, with two brick built sheds. A path leads past these to a small courtyard at the rear of the property, with an outlook over the neighbouring playing field. In addition to this space there is a large garden, just across the drive from the cottage. This level area is laid to lawn and enclosed with a red brick wall. There are mature trees here, and a pretty play house.

Cainscross benefits from well-established secondary schools, a nursery, veterinary practice and the canal whilst nearby Ebley benefits from a coffee shop/wine bar, a gym and children’s soft play. The house is also in easy walking distance of three supermarkets, a primary school and a playing field. Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise. The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores. The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles), Swindon (25 miles) and junction 13 of the M5 are all within comfortable driving distance.
