Farmhill Lane, Stroud, GL5

A fantastic opportunity for someone to purchase and renovate this detached bungalow. Situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Whiteshill and within easy reach of the amenities of Stroud, the bungalow enjoys an elevated position, with views across the fields to the rear. The accommodation which is arranged over one floor comprises entrance hall with doors to front and rear, three steps up to the hallway, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting/dining room with fireplace and windows over looking the rear garden, two double bedrooms, bathroom and loft access. This space could give the opportunity for someone to go up into and create further bedroom accommodation (subject to planning and building regulations) The property does have gas central heating and double glazing throughout. 

To the front of the bungalow is parking for one car on the sloped driveway, there is the potential to clear vegetation and create further parking in front of the kitchen window. Please be advised that the Cotswold Stone wall at the front of the house must remain in place. The driveway leads down to the good sized garage. To the rear, the garden extends to 0.307 acres. It has a gentle slope and is currently over grown. It runs down to the bordering fields and has views across the valley. To the side of your boundary is a public footpath, there is a responsibility for the owner to keep any over hanging vegetation clear of the path.   

The Stroud Valleys are well known for their beautiful views – and some of the most breathtaking can be found at nearby Whiteshill, which stands right on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. Many of the houses offer stunning, far-reaching views down across the lush green swathe of the Painswick and Slad valleys or towards the lovely neighbouring village of Ruscombe and the distant hump of Frocester Hill. Unlike many villages in the area, Whiteshill did not grow up around a medieval heart, but started as clusters of cottages which were built around the springs or wells dotted around the hillside. It has a very vibrant community with a volunteer-run village shop, playing fields, a church, village hall, scout hut, school and The Star Inn at the heart of the modern-day community. There are some beautiful rambles to enjoy, including the Diamond Jubilee Circular Walk, which links Whiteshill and Ruscombe, following ancient pathways through fields and woodland. Be prepared for hills though - the countryside is far from flat, with a height difference of more than 152m from the lowest point in the parish to the highest. The village is close to Stroud, which has a direct train link to London and an award-winning farmers’ market, while Gloucester and Cheltenham are both within comfortable driving distance.
