A distinctive and character rich Grade II listed home, offering a unique blend of historic charm and versatile modern living.
This exceptional former restaurant, now a residential home, is situated in the heart of the sought-after village of Bisley. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property showcases an abundance of period features, including exposed beams and stonework, thoughtfully combined with practical living spaces to create a warm and inviting home along with an excellent opportunity for purchasers to update and personalise to their own taste.
Accommodation
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is both generous and flexible, ideal for a variety of lifestyles.
The ground floor welcomes you via an entrance hall leading to a cosy bar/snug area, complete with built-in seating and characterful finishes. A generous sitting and dining room forms the heart of the home, featuring exposed ceiling beams and a striking stone open fireplace that creates a focal point and adds to the property's historic charm. To the rear, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room offers ample storage and workspace, along with space for appliances and a central island, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A convenient WC completes the ground floor.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a generous family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite and extensive storage. The landing itself is notably spacious, providing an ideal area for a study or reading nook.
Occupying the entire top floor, the impressive master suite is a standout feature. This expansive space is enhanced by exposed A-frame timbers and offers distinct areas for sleeping, dressing, and relaxing. Fitted wardrobes and built-in storage are plentiful, and the suite benefits from a private ensuite shower room.
Design and Features
The property is rich in period detail, with features such as exposed beams, stonework, and traditional architectural elements throughout. These are complemented by practical additions including secondary glazing and gas central heating, ensuring comfort while preserving the building's historic character.
Gardens and Parking
Externally, the property offers a thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance courtyard garden to the rear, framed by attractive stone borders that reflect the property's heritage. The garden provides multiple seating areas and useful access points, including steps leading to an exceptionally rare feature for the location, ample off road parking.
Positioned behind the property, the parking area accommodates up to six vehicles side-by-side, a significant advantage in a village setting where parking is typically limited. Additional benefits include a useful brick built shed with power and lighting, as well as a covered area adjacent to the kitchen.
Location and Lifestyle
Bisley is widely regarded as one of the most desirable villages in the Stroud district, set high on the Cotswold hills and surrounded by picturesque countryside. The village itself offers a strong sense of community alongside everyday conveniences, including schooling, a church, and two public houses.
The area is particularly noted for its scenic beauty, with rolling landscapes and access to walking routes. Community features such as a composting scheme and orchard further enhance village life.
Despite its tranquil setting, Bisley is well connected. The nearby market town of Stroud, approximately four miles away, is one of Gloucestershire's most popular locations. Set within the scenic Five Valleys, Stroud offers a vibrant street market, a wide range of independent shops, pubs, restaurants and bistros, along with excellent schools for all age groups and a comprehensive local bus network.
The M5 motorway is also within easy reach, providing convenient access to Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol, making this an ideal location for both commuters and those seeking a balance of rural charm and accessibility.
This unique home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant property with generous living space, abundant character, and exceptional parking, all within one of the Cotswolds' most charming village settings.
