Are you looking for a place to live in the heart of Stroud? This three-bedroom flat could be an option for you.

It’s situated in a Grade II listed building and described as being a “completely unique” place to live, in its Zoopla listing.

The property website suggests it could “quite possibly” be “the best penthouse apartment in Stroud”.

Explaining more about the building, Zoopla says: “This imposing Cotswold Stone building dates back to circa 1844 and has a rich history, having served as a school for many years.

“It was cleverly converted into apartments in the 1990's and is now a brilliant residential building in the heart of Stroud's inclusive, thriving community.”

You can find out more about the £500,000 property via the Zoopla website.

The current owner has lived here for 17 years but it’s now time to move on, offering a new opportunity for another buyer.

The “very special” home is located on one floor of the building and you enter through an entrance lobby.

This is where you’re greeted with an open and “characterful” 26’ living space with a vaulted ceiling, supported by “substantial exposed timbers”.

The big area leads onto the 22’ kitchen/dining room with both areas having large stone mullion windows, providing plenty of light.

Through the windows, you’ll see an “excellent” view across Stroud to Rodborough and the countryside that surrounds the area.

At the far end of the property, you’ll find a double bedroom and a bathroom with a separate shower cubicle.

A study area can be accessed via two staircases.

These areas are both partitioned and private with shutters that open to provide natural light.

The bigger space has an en suite WC. Currently, the owner uses both the study spaces for informal sleeping areas.

Zoopla explains that this flat “is essential viewing for anyone searching for a unique, statement home.”
