Beeches Green, Stroud, GL5 1SA

Steeped in local architectural history, West Grange is a substantial five-bedroom property forming half of a magnificent, Grade II listed Cotswold stone house. Designed in 1866 by famous regional architect Benjamin Bucknell (renowned for his work on the nearby masterpiece, Woodchester Mansion) this property seamlessly pairs breathtaking Gothic Revival character with a highly practical layout for contemporary family living. Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand central reception hall featuring its original, beautifully preserved Minton tile floor, a grand solid oak open-well staircase with chamfered balusters, and a spectacular ribbed ceiling. The ground floor flows effortlessly into two stately reception rooms. The sitting room is bathed in natural light through dramatic, stone-mullioned and transomed windows and features a carved stone working fireplace. The formal dining room offers an equally impressive backdrop for hosting. A well-appointed central island kitchen leads directly into a dedicated utility room, and a cloakroom accessed via the hall completes the downstairs. The upper floors continue to display Bucknell's signature eye for scale, offering five generous bedrooms framed by elevated garden and treetop outlooks. The first floor hosts three spacious double bedrooms, including a principal room with an en-suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom. The top floor reveals two additional bedrooms and a modern shower room, offering an excellent area for older children, guests, or a dedicated home office setup. A rare opportunity to purchase one of Bucknall's houses.

Outside

West Grange is approached via an expansive gravel driveway that easily provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial detached double garage (460 sq ft). The spectacular private gardens wrap around the side and rear of the house. Predominantly laid to sprawling manicured lawns flanked by a sweeping stone path, the outdoor space is framed by mature, heavily stocked borders filled with perennial flora, shrubs, and established trees, creating a peaceful, sun-soaked sanctuary.
