Tucked away in a discreet yet highly convenient setting, we are thrilled to bring this lovely home to market. This beautifully presented three-bedroom, three-storey townhouse is a home that immediately impresses, having been carefully maintained and finished to a consistently high standard throughout.

The outlook across the private communal green creates a sense of calm and space, a feature that sets the tone for what lies within. Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to suit modern living, with a standout open-plan kitchen, dining and family area forming the heart of the home; a space equally suited to everyday life and entertaining. This flows into a bright garden room, enhancing both the sense of light and the connection to the landscaped rear garden.

Across the upper floors, the bedrooms are well proportioned, with the top floor dedicated to an impressive master suite. This level offers a dressing area and en-suite shower room, creating a private retreat away from the main living spaces.

Carefully chosen for its position, presentation and layout, this is a home that offers modern, flexible living in a tucked-away location, while remaining well placed for local amenities including the prestigious Marling and Stroud High grammar schools.

The entrance is approached via a paved path, flanked by shrub beds, with a useful screened store area for bins etc. An entrance hall welcomes you, with a door to the cloakroom, and opens on to the wonderfully social dining kitchen with space for a sofa so all the family can relax together after a long day at work or school. Wood effect laminate runs seamlessly throughout this area, creating a lovely sense of open space.

The fitted kitchen, re-fitted in 2013, comprises a range of contemporary cream cabinets with black granite-effect worktops and a 1 1/3 bowl sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a double oven, induction hob, extractor and dishwasher, with space for a washing machine, full-height fridge freezer, and eye-level shelving for a microwave. There is plenty of space for a good-sized dining table and sofa, with a pretty period-style fireplace with gas fire inset as a focal point. Double glazed doors open to the garden room, benefiting from a tiled floor with underfloor heating, glazed panelling to all sides and two roof lights to take full advantage of the sunny aspect. Patio doors lead straight onto the garden.

Stairs lead to the first floor landing with doors to bedrooms two, three and the family bathroom. Bedroom two, a double, is located to the rear, boasting built-in wardrobes and overlooking the garden. Bedroom three is at the front and is currently utilised as an office, affording views over the communal field and the attractive listed period building, Upfield House. This room would work equally well as a guest or child’s bedroom. The family bathroom is a warm and inviting space, comprising a WC, pedestal hand wash basin, heated towel rail and bath with a dual rainfall and handheld shower over, with floor-to-ceiling tiling to this area.

Stairs lead to the second floor, which is devoted entirely to a fabulous master bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There is some restricted head height, and loft space is accessed from here.

A versatile family home where you can bring your belongings and move straight in.
