4 bed detached house for sale

Park Road, Stroud GL5

Welcome to Moreton House, an individual house in a superb spot less than half a mile from the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud. Park Road is very much part of the community that the town is so well known for but properties here have more space around them than houses in 'Old Stroud' typically do. Moreton House is no exception - this detached property has parking and a double garage, and is centrally set within a sunny, south facing plot. It was built in 1989 using traditional methods and offers plenty of light filled, flexible accommodation that could suit several different types of buyers.

The living space extends to c.1800 sq.ft and is arranged over two floors. An entrance lobby, large entrance hall, walk in cloaks cupboard, cloakroom/W.C, family/play room, 16' sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utilty room are on the ground floor. Both the sitting room and the dining room have glazed sliding doors that open on to the veranda and garden and the view beyond, and prospective buyers might chose to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room (subject to building regulation approval) to create a first rate 20' kitchen/family room. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor with a landing, walk in airing cupboard with radiator, 15' principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, family shower room and three further bedrooms on this level. Above this is a full length, boarded loft with an easy access pull down ladder. The house is remarkably light and airy, and the windows at the rear make the most of the southerly aspect and outlook across the Golden Valley. A super family house, and a must for your viewing list.

Outside you'll find a gated drive, a detached double garage and a sunny garden. The drive is at the front of the property, with the double garage to the right. This measures 17'9" x 14'9" and is very much a man cave, with power and light and a wood burning stove. A couple of steps lead down to the front door, with a gated side access that leads to the rear garden. This area faces south, with a lovely outlook out over the Golden Valley. There is a veranda at the back of the house, with glazed sliding doors from both the sitting room and dining room, a dry storage area under and steps down to the garden. There is a paved area to one side, with a level lawn beyond, and steps down to a lower area of garden. The garden is mature and well planted, with a variety of planted borders and establish shrubs found throughout the plot.

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 and many of Stroud’s shops are independent and family-run. 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.
