Folly Lane, Stroud

Set within an elevated position overlooking open fields, this modern three double bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owner. The layout has been reconfigured to create flowing, connected spaces that feel light, bright, and harmonious throughout the ground floor, resulting in an attractive and enduring home offering a comfortable living environment.
Accommodation

Arranged over two well proportioned floors, the interior is light, airy, and well planned, offering excellent versatility for both everyday living and home working.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads down to a sitting room with French doors opening onto the side garden, which wraps around to the front of the property, providing a lovely connection with the outdoor space.

The stylish kitchen is fitted with a built-in oven, microwave oven, and dishwasher, and opens seamlessly onto the dining area, which in turn leads into the conservatory. The conservatory enjoys French doors out to the rear garden, further enhancing the sense of openness and indoor outdoor flow. A useful Cloakroom serves the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three bright and comfortable double bedrooms. The main family bathroom is located on the first floor and is fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wall mounted wash hand basin, and low level WC.

Design & Features

The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, and Internet connectivity, providing a warm, efficient, and well connected home. The loving improvements made by the current owner have enhanced the sense of space and connectivity, creating an inviting feel throughout the ground floor.

The former garage has been converted into a useful workshop, offering excellent storage or hobby space. This area could be converted back into a garage, or potentially adapted into additional accommodation, subject to the relevant consents.

Gardens

The gardens offer multiple areas for relaxation and enjoyment and form a natural extension of the internal living spaces. The side garden, accessible from the sitting room, wraps around to the front and benefits from raised trellis screening to provide additional privacy, together with a security light and driveway parking.

To the rear, the garden is mainly level and enjoys a pleasant Southeast aspect. It includes a lawn area, patio, mature shrub borders, a raised gravelled terrace, timber garden shed, outside light, and cold water tap. Gated side access provides convenient access between the front and rear gardens.

Parking and Workshop

The property provides driveway parking, together with the former garage now used as a workshop. This versatile space offers excellent potential for reinstatement as a garage, as the garage door remains in position, or for adaptation into further accommodation, subject to obtaining any necessary permissions.

Location & Lifestyle

The property is set amongst similarly sized detached homes and enjoys a pleasant outlook over fields to the front and towards the surrounding valleys at the rear. Woodland walks can be enjoyed nearby, making it ideal for those who appreciate access to nature.
