Church Close, Cranham, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL4

A beautifully extended family home in one of the Cotswolds' most cherished villages.

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac and enjoying a charming outlook over Cranham’s village allotments and playing fields, this superbly extended semi-detached home offers over 2,000 sq ft of flexible and generously proportioned accommodation, ideal for modern family life. Nestled in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property combines countryside tranquillity with exceptional practicality and connectivity.

The property has been thoughtfully reconfigured and extended to provide versatile living space across two floors. The ground floor is a particular highlight, offering a series of interconnected yet distinct living areas that work beautifully for both day-to-day living and entertaining.

The sitting room is a warm and welcoming space with a wood-burning stove - perfect for cosy evenings. A separate office provides a quiet retreat for home working, while the spacious dining room is ideal for hosting family and friends, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden and terrace.

Towards the rear, an open-plan family area flows seamlessly into a snug, currently arranged as a second sitting room but equally suited as a ground floor bedroom. This area is served by its own en suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, older children, or multigenerational living.

A practical ground floor utility room provides excellent storage and laundry space, keeping the main living areas clutter-free.

On the first floor, you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an especially generous principal bedroom. This room stretches the full depth of the house and offers scope - should you wish - to be reconfigured to create two separate rooms or an en suite. The remaining two bedrooms are both bright and comfortable, served by a contemporary family bathroom on the ground floor.

The rear garden is a private and peaceful retreat, largely laid to lawn with mature borders and a terrace that’s ideal for al fresco dining during the warmer months. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, evening drinks with friends, or a game of football with the children, this outdoor space is designed to adapt to every lifestyle. There is also a rear gate giving direct access to the village playing field.

To the front and rear of the property, there is ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles - a fantastic feature in such a desirable rural location.

Cranham is one of the Cotswolds’ most sought-after and picturesque villages, known for its strong community spirit and stunning natural surroundings. The village is encircled by ancient beech woodland and bordered by Cranham Common, a unique limestone grassland designated as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve.

The village is exceptionally well-served, with a community-owned pub - The Black Horse - alongside a village hall, church, primary school, and both cricket and tennis clubs. A wide network of footpaths and bridleways extends from the doorstep, offering endless walking and cycling opportunities through some of the Cotswolds’ most beautiful countryside.

Families are well catered for with a choice of excellent primary schools in Cranham, Birdlip and Sheepscombe. For older children, there is easy access to a variety of well-regarded state and independent secondary schools, including grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Despite its rural feel, Cranham is conveniently located just a short drive from the M5 (Junction 11a), making access to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol and beyond straightforward. Stroud railway station offers regular direct services to London Paddington in under 90 minutes.
