Stroud, England GL6 7BA

A distinctive and character rich Grade II listed home with an exceptional history, versatile accommodation and exciting potential for mixed-use, B&B or commercial use, subject to the necessary consents. This former French restaurant, which was once a popular and well-regarded local dining destination, has been thoughtfully converted into a substantial residential home while retaining many of the features and proportions associated with its former use. Situated in the heart of the sought after village of Bisley, the property offers a rare combination of historic character, generous accommodation, excellent parking and exciting potential for those looking to create something further. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property provides a superb opportunity for purchasers seeking a distinctive home with scope to update and personalise, whilst also presenting the possibility of exploring a return to restaurant, hospitality B&B or other mixed commercial/residential use, subject to planning permission, listed building consent and any other relevant approvals. Accommodation Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is both generous and flexible, offering considerable scope for a variety of residential or potentially mixed-use configurations. The ground floor retains a particularly strong connection to the property`s former restaurant use. An entrance hall leads into a cosy bar/snug area, complete with built-in seating and characterful finishes. A generous sitting and dining room forms the heart of the property, with exposed ceiling beams and a striking stone open fireplace providing an impressive focal point and reflecting the building`s historic character. To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room provides ample storage and workspace, space for appliances and a central island. Its generous proportions and existing arrangement could lend themselves to a variety of uses, subject to any required consents. A convenient WC completes the ground floor. The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a generous family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite and extensive storage. The spacious landing provides an additional flexible area, currently well suited to use as a study or reading nook. Occupying the entire top floor, the impressive master suite is a particular highlight. This expansive room is enhanced by exposed A-frame timbers and incorporates distinct areas for sleeping, dressing and relaxing, together with fitted wardrobes and extensive built-in storage. A private ensuite shower room completes the suite. Commercial & Mixed-Use Potential Having previously operated as a successful local French restaurant, the property offers an unusual opportunity for purchasers interested in its potential beyond purely residential use. The substantial ground-floor accommodation, established entrance arrangements, former bar and dining areas, generous kitchen space and excellent off-road parking provide an interesting foundation for someone wishing to investigate the property`s potential for restaurant, caf?, hospitality or other complementary commercial use. Equally, the existing arrangement could lend itself to a mixed residential and commercial scheme, allowing the upper floors to remain residential while the ground floor is adapted for an appropriate business use. Any change of use, commercial operation or alteration to the listed building would be subject to the necessary planning permission, listed-building consent and other relevant approvals. Purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority before proceeding. Design and Features The property is rich in period detail, with exposed beams, natural stonework and traditional architectural elements providing an authentic sense of history throughout. The building`s former commercial use adds further interest and gives the ground floor a distinctive character rarely found in a residential property. Modern p
