5 bed country house for sale

Lightwood Lane, Randwick, Stroud, Gloucestershire GL6

A striking contemporary home set in approximately half an acre on a peaceful no-through lane surrounded by woodland, close to the Cotswold Way and village amenities

Our clients have taken a meticulous approach to materials, finishes, and energy efficiency creating a house and gardens occupying an exquisite and private position. The internal living space now extends to more than 4,000 sq ft across its two generous storeys, with each room optimising views of the surrounding woodland. Whilst the location feels wonderfully rural, you are only a short walk from local amenities and close to the bustling town of Stroud.
Over the past 18 months, the property has undergone extensive works that have transformed it into a truly unique detached eco-home with beautiful gardens and a double garage.
The property is accessed via electric double gates leading to a gravel driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage. An impressive Oak frame and Canadian Western Red Cedar porch with a bespoke “oversize” Ash pivot door opens into a generous reception hall.
The heart of the house is the spectacular south-facing open-plan kitchen, sitting, and dining room that seamlessly connects to the hardwood deck via bifold doors. Directly off the kitchen, there is a large walk-in larder. The handmade painted kitchen includes oak drawers and handles, along with neff appliances.
In addition, the ground floor includes a well-equipped utility room, a formal dining room, a separate snug/office, a secondary utility/boot room, a downstairs shower room, a WC, and further access to the terrace and garden.
The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout and two working chimneys ready for a wood burner.
There are two staircases that lead to a striking vaulted landing (ideal for displaying art). With five bedrooms (three with en-suites) and a luxurious family bathroom, the layout is well suited to multi-generational living.
The principal suite enjoys views, its own balcony, a generous walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom.
The landscaped gardens offer multiple areas for entertaining, dining, or quiet enjoyment. In addition to the large secure gated driveway and garage, there is also a rear access gate leading to additional parking for three cars.
Great care has been taken to enhance the home’s environmental and energy efficiency, achieving an impressive EPC A rating. The sustainable design includes a 6.75 kw solar array, 10 kw battery storage, three-phase electricity supply, air source heat pump (mcs Certified design), and a new sewage treatment plant. Gigaclear and BT are available at the property.
