Summer Street, Stroud, GL5

This delightful Cotswold stone cottage has been sympathetically renovated, retaining many character features such as exposed beams and Cotswold stone. Located on popular Summer Street, with stunning views to the front across the Slad Valley and fields to Uplands and beyond. The well presented accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises sitting room with exposed Cotswold stone fireplace and flag stone floor, modern fitted kitchen with tiled floor and underfloor heating, door out to rear courtyard. From the sitting room the stairs lead up to the first floor, which has a lovely light landing with window and window seat, bedroom 2, which is double and has a window to the front with stunning views across the valley, shower room with large cubicle and a utility cupboard plumbed for a washing machine. On the second floor is the main bedroom, with dormer windows to the rear over looking the garden, and exposed beams. Further benefits include a new heating system and new double glazing throughout. 

To the front is a paved path leading to the front door, bin area to the side and a flower bed surrounded by gravel to create a seating area. To the rear is a shared courtyard area, with outside storage and steps leading up to your garden. There is a patio seating area, and then landscaped gardens, with terraces denoted with sleepers. The vendor has left this to earth for a purchaser to create what they need of a garden. The views from the top are beautiful over the chimney pots across the Slad valley and beyond. 

The immediate area benefits from a playing field/play area, allotments, a corner shop, pubs and schools within walking distance, a theatre and country walks. Stroud town benefits from an award-winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, galleries and arts events, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at. The “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). Other towns are easily accessible and commutable: Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles); Bristol and Bath (31 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
