3 bed detached house for sale

Upper Church Road, Cainscross, Stroud GL5

Welcome to 12 Upper Church Road, a handsome extended detached 1930's house set at the end of this popular residential no through road at Cainscross. This quiet level location is well away from passing traffic and is conveniently placed for local shops, amenities and St Matthew's primary school, with a friendly, inclusive community in the street. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof in the classic 1930's vernacular. It is now in need of modernisation, but offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to refurbish a property to their own taste and standard. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. A welcoming entrance hall, 13' sitting room with bay window, kitchen, rear lobby, cloakroom/w.c and dining room with glazed doors that open to connect with the garden are on the ground floor. The original staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, three bedrooms (the largest of which measures 13' with bay window) and a shower room on this level. The property is available with no onward chain, and we expect it to be very popular with buyers looking to create a comfortable home in a sought after, convenient spot.

The property benefits from a block paved driveway, detached garage and a corner plot garden. The parking is to the side of the property, with the garage behind. This is detached, double doors to front and a gravel area to the side. The gate leads from the road to the front path. This is blocked paved, with a paved garden to either side with mature planting. A side gate leads through to the rear garden. This is paved to the immediate rear, then opens to a level lawn. It is enclosed with fencing, with mature planting, a path leading to a shed at the bottom of the plot and a pergola with a gravelled area beyond.

The property is well placed for local amenities. Families will love the location — St Matthew's C of E Primary School, which received a Good Ofsted rating in 2023, is just moments away. For outdoor space, Victory Park is just down the road and is perfect for weekend strolls, dog walks and sport. Cross Westward Road to pick up the canal towpath, just a short walk from amenities at The Wharf including a bistro, bar, and beauty salon. The house is also close to three supermarkets and good schools, with a playing field just on the other side of the canal. Stroud town is within easy reach and 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.
