3 Bed Detached House For Sale

1 Stratford Cottages is an attractive semi detached character property set towards the end of a country lane on the edge of the hilltop village of Bisley. This sought after Cotswold village, a few miles East of Stroud, enjoys a thriving local community, with a well regarded primary school and two great pubs within easy reach. The property is built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has been a happy family home for the current owner for some 40 years. It is now in need of some updating, but presents a great opportunity for a new owner to become part of village life here. 

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. A porch, inner hall, sitting room with fireplace with wood burning stove, 14' kitchen/dining room with shaker style cabinets and Iroko wood surfaces and a double glazed conservatory are on the ground floor. A landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor, with the third bedroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. The property has a welcoming feel and has clearly been loved - an appointment to view is highly recommended.

You enter through a very attractive stone pillared gateway, with railings at the front of the house. There is a small area at the front of the property, with a side access that leads around to the rear of the property. The back garden is level, and the conservatory doors open onto this space, connecting the inside with the outside. The lawn is edged with mature shrubs and trees, and there are raised sleeper beds, a shed and a gated access out onto King George V playing field at the very rear. 

Steeped in history, Bisley is a quintessential Cotswold village. It benefits from a well-established primary school, a church and two good pubs, with Bisley Farm shop within a mile of the centre. This location also allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of Stroud, Cirencester and Cheltenham. 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 as well. 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.
