4 bed detached house for sale

74 Westward Road, Stroud GL5

Wainstones, set at the top of a private drive well away from passing traffic, is a bit of hidden gem. Situated just a couple of miles west of Stroud, at Cainscross, this location allows for easy access to shops, amenities and several good schools, with county and canal-side walks close by. It is just one of three properties built here in 1963 using traditional methods, and it has been the home of our client for some forty years. It is now in need of some refurbishment, but presents an exciting opportunity for a buyer to add their own personal touch and modernise the space to their liking. Indeed, with over 1600 sq.ft. Of ample family living space spread over two floors, this home is bursting with potential. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious kitchen, a dining room perfect for family meals, a generous 20’ sitting room, a convenient shower room, a conservatory for relaxed afternoons, and a rear lobby with direct access to the garden. Upstairs, the first floor offers a landing, a family bathroom, three good-sized bedrooms, and an additional room that could be transformed into a study, dressing room, or a nursery. There’s no shortage of space here, and with the added bonus of no onward chain and solar panels that benefit from a high feed-in tariff, Wainstones is ready and waiting for its new owners to make it their own.

Outside you'll find parking, an integral garage with power and light and a level garden. The parking is to the front of the house and the garage, with the garden at the rear. This is a generous space with a level lawn, raised pond and a further area around to the side of the house. The garden is in need of some attention but could be quite lovely, with the mature specimen trees situated in neighboring grounds as a attractive backdrop.

Cainscross is close to the Stroudwater canal. Cross the road, walk into Frome Gardens and over the bridge and you're on the canal path, with amenities at The Wharf including a café, bar and beauty salon on hand and a playing field just across the water. The house is also well placed for three supermarkets and primary and secondary schools. Stroud town is within easy reach and benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The recently opened Five Valleys shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit to sample the excellent range of food stalls and stores. The wider area has a good range of amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with a direct London (Paddington) service.
