Acre Street, Stroud, GL5

A delightful four bedroom period property situated down a private drive off of Acre Street in the heart of “Old Stroud” a short distance above the town centre. This unique property is tucked away and is part of a conversion of the former Acre Street Meeting Rooms that took place around 11/12 years ago. This location is well known locally for its good community and allows for easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of Stroud with the Daisy Bank, a convenience store, three pubs and country walks nearby. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch with tiled flooring and room for shoes and coats with a fantastic 25’ kitchen/living/dining room with integrated gas hob and oven, a breakfast bar/island, a downstairs w/c and double doors out to the rear courtyard. On the first floor is a large landing, 11’ (max) bedroom four, 11’ bedroom three, a family bathroom with shower over the bath and a 12’ bedroom two with en-suite shower room and built in wardrobe. The top floor is home to a beautiful 20’ (max) master bedroom which is bright and spacious whilst benefitting from four Velux windows, handy eaves storage and an en-suite shower room. Windows to the rear of the property enjoy a southerly aspect past neighbouring chimney pots towards Rodborough Common and Butterrow West so is particularly enjoyed from the main bedroom. The property benefits from gas central heating and a mixture of double glazing with character features including the Cotsowld stone exterior, style of windows and the stunning exposed beams and ‘A-frame’ on the top floor. The current vendors have improved the property by converting the attic, landscaping the courtyard, recently updating the boiler as well as replacing the bathroom and en-suites.

The interior is complemented by having a private courtyard garden accessed via the kitchen/living/dining room and/or a side gate. The courtyard is ideal for al-fresco dining and has been block paved to make a low maintenance space with the some planted raised beds. To the side of the property is parking for two cars as well as handy bin/bike storage. The lane to the property from Acre Street is private and gives both vehicular and pedestrian access.

The immediate area benefits from two pubs, a bar, Daisy Bank, a convenience store, a popular primary school and walks at The Heavens. 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, 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) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance.
