About the Development

Situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, just minutes from the M5, this exciting new development marks a major expansion for Stonehouse that will create a whole new community over the next few years. This is the first phase of a larger plan which will ultimately incorporate a dedicated primary school, health centre, shops and sports facilities. This is your opportunity to get in on a ground breaking new project in a highly sought after location.

Stonehouse has excellent commuter connections by road and rail to Gloucester, Bristol and Swindon. It is also just five miles from Stroud, a town so full of artists and musicians it has been described as the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds or Notting Hill with wellies!

Amenities

There are Spar and Co-op convenience stores within easy reach of the development, with Sainsbury’s just along the A419 on the western edge of Stroud. Stroud is also home to large Tesco, Waitrose and ALDI supermarkets.

For GPs, register with High Street Medical Centre (Sat Nav GL10 2NG, call us) and for dentists try High Street Dental Surgery (Sat Nav GL10 2NG, call us) or Woodcock Lane Dental Care, Woodcock Lane, Stonehouse GL10 2EE, Tel: us.

Dining

Stonehouse offers a range of delicious dining options, both in traditional inns and restaurants. Try the Old Badger, The King’s Head, the 17th Century Woolpack, Frombridge Mill, or the Frocester George for great pub grub, or head for La Piccola, No 23, Sorrento, Dinner at 6 or the Olive Tree.

A little further away, yet still an affordable taxi ride, Stroud has a host of fine dining on offer, living up to its reputation as the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds.

Education

When completed, the new development will have its own primary school, within walking distance of all our brand new homes. Until then, nearby Eastington County Primary School lies within easy reach and was rated ‘outstanding’ in its last OFSTED inspection, with Park Infants and Juniors offering an alternative in Stonehouse.

For older pupils, Maidenhill School is close by in Stonehouse, with Stroud High School and Marling Grammar School for Boys in Stroud both rated ‘outstanding’. The highly respected Wycliffe College in Stonehouse offers independent education for ages 3-18.

Leisure

So close to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and within easy reach of the watersports of Cotswold Water Park, the development couldn’t be better placed for your leisure and pleasure amidst stunning scenery. Closer to home, Stroud is famous for its buzzing arts scene, with more artists and musicians than anywhere else outside of London. Don’t miss the Stroud Fringe Festival, held every August Bank Holiday weekend, to see the town’s creativity at its best. The town is also home to a Vue multi-screen cinema.

Premiership rugby can be found in Bristol and Gloucester, with championship football at Bristol City and league one games at Bristol Rovers.

Stroud’s artistic nature comes out in its range of Bohemian independent shops and stores, making the town a fascinating place to browse away your weekend. Stroud’s farmers’ market, held every Saturday, has won many national awards. Stroud is also home to the Merrywalks shopping centre.
