Alma Terrace, Paganhill, Stroud, GL5

A delightful Grade II listed two bedroom Cotswold stone period property situated next to the Maypole in Paganhill a short distance from the town centre. This location allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud with two pubs, secondary schooling, a shop and handy bus route on the doorstep. The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway with boiler/storage cupboard, 13’ sitting room with woodburner and Cotswold stone fire place, an 11’ kitchen/dining area with useful storage and access to the cellar, a useful extension of the kitchen with further built in units and a utility room. On the first floor is a landing, 17’ dual aspect main bedroom with exposed stone wall, fire place and built in wardrobe/cupboard storage, 12’ (max) bedroom two and the bathroom with separate shower and exposed wooden flooring. Windows to the front of the property enjoy a sunny southerly aspect towards surrounding Commons. The property benefits from gas central heating with character features throughout the property from the aforementioned exposed stone feature walls and wooden flooring to the deep set windows, window seats and Cotswold stone façade. The current vendors have improved the property by replacing the rear part of the roof, having work done to the chimney as well as replacing the boiler. Planning is currently in for the vendor to replace the windows before completion of sale to a new purchaser.

The interior is complemented by having a good size and enclosed surrounding garden accessed from the front door. The garden is mainly laid with lawn but also benefits from planted borders, fruit trees (apple, plum and cherry), a patio seating area and stone chipped area. The garden is enclosed with a brick wall, a higher wooden fencing for privacy and gated pedestrian access. There is a rear access across neighbouring properties that can be used on occasion.

The immediate area benefits from well regarded secondary schools, a supermarket and convenience store, a post office, a leisure centre and park, two pubs as well as a regular bus service into town. Stroud town 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 and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington). Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
