Cowle Road, Stroud, GL5

Buyers looking for a Stroud town address with a large, private garden should book to view Endways immediately. This individually designed detached property is situated at the end of a popular residential road within walking distance of Stroud centre. This location is in the heart of Stroud’s thriving, inclusive community, but is also wonderfully private, with a total plot size of 0.42 acres - a real rarity this close to town. It allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud with local parks and country walks just along the road. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof and has been improved over the last ten years, with spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. An 17' entrance hall, inner hall, 19' sitting room with fireplace, connecting dining room, 16' kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, 17' principal bedroom with en suite shower room, 14' guest bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and two further bedrooms (one used as a study) can be found on the ground floor. A lower hall, 14' bedroom/study, side porch, boiler room and an integral garage are on the lower ground floor below. The property is light and airy, and the layout allows for real flexibility in terms of accommodation options. A super house - we strongly recommend an early viewing appointment to avoid missing out.

The property benefits from a gated drive, two garages and lovely gardens. The drive is at the front of the house with parking for several vehicles. This extends down below the house and leads to the lower garage. There is also a garage by the front door. Both have up and over doors, power and light. The garden surrounds the property and is an absolute joy - it has clearly been a real labour of love with colour and interest everywhere you look. There is a lawned area to the right hand side of the drive with a wild garden central area and established borders stocked with a variety of shrubs. A summer house with shingle roof is beyond this, with another lawn edged with fruit bushes and a cultivated growing area alongside. The rear of the plot is paved, with a couple of steps up to a terrace. This timber deck area connects with the sitting room - a lovely place to sit, relax and entertain, with a useful garden store below this. The south side of the garden is paved to the side of the house with a greenhouse sited here, with a wildlife pond behind. Another lawn with wild areas runs down to the lower boundary, with a large paved terrace above this. The gardens here are bound to prove popular with buyers looking for privacy, sun and space.

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.
