The Property
Lying in a prominent elevated position on Selsley Common, this attractive period home enjoys breathtaking views across the valley towards Rodborough. Combining timeless character with a stylish, contemporary presentation, the house offers both charm and comfort. This detached residence provides traditional accommodation with high ceilings, complemented by modern amenities. Elegant sash windows—some with shutters—pair beautifully with wooden and tiled floors, while two wood burners in the formal reception rooms create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, all while framing the valley views. Although the formal porch provides the main entrance, everyday access is through a bespoke vaulted conservatory. The two front reception rooms enjoy an open aspect, with the sitting room connecting directly to the conservatory and hallway. From here, there is access to a shower and utility area and a superbly fitted kitchen and breakfast room, complete with an Everhot oven. This space flows into the dining room, which opens directly onto the courtyard, making it perfect for everyday family living as well as entertaining. Upstairs, the two principal bedrooms sit at the front of the house, each with a fireplace and wonderful views; one also benefits from a walk-in study or wardrobe. To the rear, two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The property is served by gas central heating (the boiler was fitted in 2023) and two wood burners, with drainage via a septic tank. Ultrafast broadband is available, and mobile coverage is good outdoors though variable indoors. Private parking is provided by an open garage, and there is the added benefit of pedestrian access directly onto the Common.
Outside
Set directly off the Common Road, the property enjoys an elevated position behind a Cotswold stone wall, with two sets of steps— one leading to the front porch and the other to the conservatory. The front features two small lawns with shrubs and flowers, while above the garage a terrace offers far-reaching views. To the side and rear, lawned and sunken terraces provide excellent entertaining spaces, with a courtyard accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room. Gated pedestrian access leads onto the Common, where a period Cotswold stone workshop/studio and detached barn offer substantial scope for development (subject to planning permission). Septic Tank is found in the far corner of the front garden.

Situation
Selsley Common, a 97-acre Site of Special Scientific Interest high above Stroud, is one of the Cotswolds’ most breath-taking open spaces, with sweeping views across the Severn Vale. Perfect for walks, kite flying, and outdoor pursuits, it combines glorious countryside with excellent connections. The Cotswold Way is within striking distance, offering 102 miles of stunning walking routes through rolling hills and picturesque villages. Stroud town centre is close by with its award-winning farmers’ market, supermarkets, cafés, pubs, and train station with direct links to London Paddington. Selsley itself is home to the much-loved Bell public house. Families benefit from excellent schools, including two grammar schools and a leading independent, while local clubs, walking, and cycling trails add to the vibrant community life.
