Situation:

Dudbridge House occupies a prime position on Selsley Hill, just south of Stroud town centre, in one of the area’s most historic and elevated locations. The house enjoys both privacy and convenience; set back from the bustle, yet within a short distance of Stroud’s shops, cafes, schools, and mainline station.

Stroud itself is a thriving and creative Cotswold town, well known for its independent spirit, strong sense of community, and award-winning farmers’ market. The town centre offers a range of artisan bakeries, cafes, delis, and boutiques alongside practical amenities such as Waitrose, a leisure centre, and several excellent schools, both state and independent. For families, Stroud High School and Marling Grammar are highly regarded and easily accessible.

The surrounding countryside is a major draw for buyers relocating from London or nearby urban centres. Selsley Common, just moments from the property, provides sweeping views and miles of open space for walking, running, and cycling, while the Cotswold Way and numerous woodland trails offer endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Connectivity is a key feature: Stroud station offers a direct rail service to London Paddington in around 90 minutes, making the house suitable for commuters or those wanting easy access to the capital. The nearby A419 links to the M5, giving quick access to Cheltenham, Bristol, and Birmingham.

The setting combines the best of both worlds: peaceful and semi-rural, yet close to the action. Selsley Hill itself is home to a collection of period homes, and Dudbridge House enjoys an elevated spot that offers glimpses across the valley while remaining sheltered and private.

For those seeking a large and characterful home in a vibrant yet accessible location, with outstanding natural beauty and a strong community on the doorstep, Dudbridge House offers an exceptional proposition.
