What this property offers
About this property
Set within a beautifully restored Georgian house and former mill, built in attractive Cotswold stone and believed to date back to the late 1700s, this impressive second-floor apartment offers a wonderful blend of character, space and modern comfort. The exterior of the building underwent sympathetic restoration in 2009, whilst the interior was thoughtfully redeveloped to a high standard, creating a striking home filled with a wealth of natural light and charm.
The apartment is approached through the building’s impressive glazed communal entrance hall, with access available from both Home Orchard and Westward Road. Contemporary steel, glass and timber staircases rise through the restored interior to the second floor, creating a memorable sense of arrival.
Once inside the apartment, the private entrance hall provides access to the generous double bedroom, the bathroom and the spacious open-plan sitting/dining room with fitted kitchen. A useful storage cupboard is also located off the hall.
The heart of the apartment is a particularly spacious open-plan sitting/dining room, where a series of windows, high and sloping ceilings and an attractive outlook combine to create a wonderfully light and airy atmosphere. There is ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining area, making this a highly versatile space for relaxing, entertaining or working from home.
The fitted kitchen is open plan to the sitting/dining room and is arranged to one side of the living accommodation. It features a range of light grey wall and base units beneath contrasting work surfaces, together with a stainless-steel sink, fitted oven and hob with extractor above, integral fridge and washer/drier. Its open connection with the living space creates a practical and sociable flow.
The generous double bedroom is another beautifully proportioned room, with a dormer window drawing in plenty of natural light. There is space for a large bed and additional furniture, whilst a walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage without compromising the calm and uncluttered feel of the room.
The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. A window allows a wealth of natural light to fill the room, while the sloping ceiling adds character and interest.
Throughout the apartment, the combination of high and sloping ceilings, well-positioned windows and an elevated outlook creates an impressive sense of space and light. The apartment enjoys attractive rooftop and far-reaching views towards the surrounding hills and countryside, providing an unexpected sense of openness from such a convenient setting.
Unusually for an apartment, this home also benefits from substantial secure basement storage, which is both practical and easy to access. Outside, there is an allocated parking space for one vehicle.
The location is ideal for those seeking both convenience and lifestyle. The Stroudwater Canal and Ebley Wharf are within a short walk, offering cafés, scenic waterside walks and a welcoming community atmosphere. Excellent access is also provided towards Stroud, Stonehouse and the surrounding countryside.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a spacious and light-filled one-bedroom apartment with generous living accommodation, excellent storage and an attractive canalside position. A special property in a highly sought-after Stroud setting.
Offered to the market with no onward chain.

The apartment enjoys a particularly convenient position within the heart of Ebley Wharf, with attractive surroundings and excellent access to local amenities. The area has developed into a vibrant residential community, combining characterful historic buildings with thoughtfully designed modern homes and welcoming public spaces.
Close by, Ebley Mill sits proudly on the banks of the River Frome.

The canal path is ideal for both walking and cycling, linking Stroud and Stonehouse while providing a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The waterside setting also provides the perfect backdrop for the popular Kitsch café and wine bar.
Stroud itself is renowned for its distinctive bohemian character and rich cultural scene. Independent shops line the streets alongside celebrated venues for arts, crafts and music, while the award-winning weekly farmers’ market draws visitors from across the region and is widely regarded as one of the oldest of its kind. The recently redeveloped Five Valleys indoor market and shopping centre, inspired by London’s Borough Market, adds further vibrancy with a mix of designer brands, world cuisine and local artisan producers.
For those needing to travel further afield, the area is exceptionally well connected. There are direct rail links to London Paddington and easy access to the M5 motorway, making commuting straightforward.
