The Quarries, Main Road, Whiteshill, Stroud, GL6 6DN

Stylish, contemporary and individually designed, this exceptional home has been created to make the very most of its extraordinary position, with balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows framing far-reaching views across the Stroud Valleys. With sunsets to savour and ever-changing views as the seasons pass, the setting is as special as the house itself.

One of just three individually designed contemporary homes, each with its own distinctive architecture and layout, this is a peaceful and beautifully considered place to live. An abundance of natural light, an eco-conscious approach and a seamless connection between the house, garden and surrounding landscape combine to create a home that feels both modern and wonderfully tranquil.

The elegant entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with generous space for welcoming guests and useful storage for coats and shoes. The principal living space is open plan and beautifully proportioned, with the current arrangement cleverly defining distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxing while retaining the wonderful sense of light and space.

The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with integrated appliances, excellent storage and plenty of preparation space. There is ample room for a large dining table, making this an inviting space for everything from relaxed breakfasts to dinner with friends. At the far end of the room, a generous seating area takes full advantage of the spectacular outlook, with floor-to-ceiling glazing ensuring that the view is always part of the experience.

The accommodation continues downstairs with three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with its own en-suite bathroom featuring a separate shower, together with a walk-in dressing room. Adjacent to the dressing room is a useful utility room with space for appliances and direct access to the rear garden.

The spacious family bathroom has a contemporary walk-in shower, while a separate study provides an ideal home-working space, with a door opening directly onto the garden.

Outside, the beautifully maintained garden has been designed with entertaining and relaxation in mind. A contemporary patio provides the perfect setting for summer lunches and evening drinks, while an area of lawn, two sheds and a stylish pagoda create a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the day. The pagoda provides a sheltered spot for outdoor dining, while carefully positioned mood lighting brings the garden to life after dark, creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for entertaining.

Peaceful and scenic, yet within easy reach of Stroud and its excellent range of amenities, this is a home that offers the best of both worlds. Contemporary, light-filled and designed around its exceptional views, it is a property where the setting is every bit as captivating as the house itself.
