Once a coach house to the manor next door, this Grade II listed retreat is now a peaceful place to pause. Tucked among the trees and hidden from view, it offers a quiet escape with just the faintest glimpse of the valley beyond. Inside, the open-plan layout is calm and inviting, with soft tones, rustic textures and a round window that draws your eye outside. Spend mornings walking the Laurie Lee trail, afternoons exploring Stroud’s market stalls, and evenings in the bath or by the window seat, watching the light change.
