3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Farmhill Lane, Stroud GL5

A beautifully presented 1930s semi-detached family home, retaining a wealth of original character and charm, including attractive internal doors, picture rails and a feature fireplace. The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers three bedrooms, a family bathroom, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and downstairs WC. The kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical and sociable space for everyday family life, while the useful utility room adds valuable additional storage and workspace. A particular feature of the ground floor is the large conservatory, currently used as a further lounge and providing a lovely connection with the garden. With its excellent outlook and abundance of natural light, this versatile room could equally be used as a dining room or entertaining space. The property has been immaculately maintained, whilst retaining the character and individuality expected of a home of this era.

The gardens are a real highlight of the property, offering an excellent degree of privacy, mature planting and outstanding views. To the immediate rear of the house is a private courtyard-style area, which opens onto a level lawned garden with well-established hedged boundaries, mature shrubs and fruit trees. The garden continues to a secluded seating area at the far end, providing the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the far-reaching views across the surrounding valley. On a clear day, the Severn Bridge can be seen in the distance, creating a particularly impressive outlook. To the front, a driveway provides parking for two vehicles, complemented by an integral garage with power and lighting. The combination of established gardens, privacy and panoramic views makes the outside space an exceptional feature of this home.

The property is situated just below the village of Whiteshill, which stands right on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. Unlike many villages in the area, Whiteshill did not grow up around a medieval heart, but started as clusters of cottages which were built around the springs or wells dotted around the hillside. It has a very vibrant community with a volunteer-run village shop, playing fields, a church, village hall, scout hut, school and The Star Inn at the heart of the modern-day community. There are some beautiful rambles to enjoy, including the Diamond Jubilee Circular Walk, which links Whiteshill and Ruscombe, following ancient pathways through fields and woodland. The village is close to Stroud, which has a direct train link to London and an award-winning farmers’ market, while Gloucester and Cheltenham are both within comfortable driving distance.
