Description

Rock House is an impressive double-fronted detached residence situated in a desirable location in Brimscombe, just a few miles east of Stroud. This property presents an excellent renovation opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke living space in a vibrant community, close to a well-regarded primary school and surrounded by the scenic landscapes of National Trust land and canal-side walks. Built from traditional Cotswold stone beneath a pitched roof, this home retains much of its character, yet requires modern refurbishment to unlock its full potential. The layout spans three floors, featuring a welcoming porch, entrance hall, cozy sitting room, and dining room on the ground level, along with a 13’ kitchen and practical rear lobby complete with a shower room. A versatile space that has historically functioned as a small shop could easily be transformed into additional accommodation or family areas. Ascending the staircase to the first floor reveals a bedroom and bathroom, while two more spacious bedrooms are located on the second floor. A first-floor rear lobby adds to the functionality of the space. Outside, Rock House boasts an attached workshop—a sought-after feature for those interested in creating a home workspace or considering future extensions (subject to necessary permissions). The property benefits from no onward chain and includes a garage accessible via shared rights of way. The terraced garden offers ample room for outdoor activities and showcases stunning views over the Golden Valley from its elevated position. Additional storage options include sheds and a summer house nestled among mature trees within this tranquil setting. Brimscombe itself is conveniently positioned near local amenities including shops and eateries such as The Ship Inn and The Long Table. Stroud town is within easy reach, providing an even wider array of independent retailers, supermarkets, healthcare services, educational institutions, sporting facilities, and rail connections to London (Paddington), Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles), and Swindon (25 miles). This substantial property yields considerable potential for investment as both a family home or rental venture.
