5 bed detached house for sale

The Bourne, Brimscombe, Stroud GL5

A rare find, this south-facing detached Victorian villa is all about the view: A sweeping 180° panorama across the Golden Valley. Inside, beautiful original details set the tone, including tiled fireplaces, built-in cupboards, a tessellated tiled hall floor and the distinctive “plunger” bath. Thoughtful upgrades add modern comfort and efficiency, with double-glazed sash windows, solar panels, an EV charger and added insulation. The ground floor is generous and welcoming, with two reception rooms and south-facing bay windows that draw in the light (one room has a wood burner for cosy evenings). To the rear, a sympathetic extension creates a standout open-plan kitchen-diner with an island and roof lantern, plus a dining area with parquet flooring, a second wood burner and French doors. Doors from the kitchen and dining space open directly to the garden for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged over two floors, with five double bedrooms in total. The first floor offers three bedrooms (including an en-suite) alongside the family bathroom, while the second floor provides two further bedrooms, one en-suite-ideal for guests, teens or working from home. Two head-height cellars add flexible, practical space, including a laundry area. A door leads out to a small wild garden with a pond and a covered drying area-an unexpected, tucked-away spot for a quiet moment. Below the house sits a double garage with a maintenance pit, and the driveway provides parking for three vehicles.
