Description
Romanhurst offers a versatile home, perfect for an extended family. With 4.5 acres of grounds, the property would make an ideal smallholding and offers a wonderful exploration ground for children. Semi-detached, Romanhurst has classic views over Witcombe Valley. The Victorian element ensures there is plenty of natural light and its rooms are well-proportioned. No more so than the spectacular hub at its centre which forms the focal point of the house, with a lovely old staircase leading off. A perfect place for all the family to rendezvous, there is a further generous reception room with a kitchenette, cloaks/shower room and utility area leading to the back door. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor and a good sized single bedroom plus a bathroom. The house also incorporates a self-contained annexe with a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor and bedroom and bathroom over. Outside there is ample parking, a garage with additional outbuildings and a studio/summerhouse with power. The grounds, comprising ancient meadows, extend behind the house and have been kept as a natural wilderness to encourage wildlife but have obvious potential.
Directions
The property is most easily located by leaving Stroud on the Slad Road, B4070 in the direction of Slad and Birdlip. Passing through the village of Slad, continue to Birdlip. Turn left down Birdlip Hill at the T junction. Romanhurst will be found shortly after a sharp left hand bend, on the right hand side.
Location
Romanhurst is set up high on the south-west facing flanks of Birdlip Hill. As its name implies, the Romans were among the first to recognise the strategic importance of this location, making it the confluence of several Roman roads. An excellent road network still exists today, with easy access to the A417 linking Junction 11a of the M5 motorway (Cheltenham) with M4 Motorway Junction 15 (Swindon), or across to the A40 for Oxford and London. Gloucester and Cheltenham are easily accessed for schools, shopping and sport - premier division rugby and National Hunt racing. Birdlip has an excellent village school and nearby Miserden, a classic pretty Cotswold village, benefits from a general store. Nearby Stroud offers a major Waitrose as well as other supermarkets and an award winning Farmers Market on Saturdays. Romanhurst is circa two hours by road to London or about 90 minutes by train from Stroud Station (London Paddington). The property is surrounded by outstanding countryside - a source of great walks including the Cotswold Way.
