Property description
Two decked areas are accessed from the kitchen and dining room, with steps leading down to sloping gardens well stocked with a variety of trees and established shrubs. There is a screened sheltered patio with herb bed, log store, greenhouse, shed and further storage shed. Raised vegetable beds and composting area. Useful store under the master bedroom, accessed from the exterior of property
The nearby area includes pubs such as the Prince Albert and Kings Head, and a beautiful National Trust common with an ice-cream factory and fort. The area combines the best of both worlds – stunning walks and views whilst within walking distance of Stroud town centre. It has two primary schools, a large upmarket hotel, The Bear of Rodborough, a community hall, playing field, two churches and various clubs and societies. Rodborough also has a special connection with the famous children’s character Thomas the Tank Engine. His creator, the author Rev Wilbert Awdry, retired to the village in 1965 and lived there until his death in 1997. A stained-glass window in the church depicting Thomas has been visited by fans from as far away as Japan. One of the highlights of living in the area is walking across the common among the free-roaming cows, horses and dog-walkers.. It is, of course, a Stroud tradition to stop off at Winstones Ice-cream Factory for a well-earned treat. The common is also home to Rodborough Fort, a folly built in 1761 that is now a private house, with paths around it offering amazing views. A wide range of facilities are available in nearby Stroud, including a direct train line to London and an award-winning farmers’ market, while the M5 motorway is within easy driving distance.
