The town also has plenty of local buses and a train station off Rowcroft, while Birmingham and Bristol’s international airports are both within an hour’s drive.
The Stroud property scene
This is a great area to invest in, with plenty of solid growth seen across the town in recent years. House prices in Stroud are higher than the national average, which is influenced by its excellent stock of semi and detached homes.
You’ll find both of these types of properties along Grove Lane in Stonehouse, which is only a few miles west of Stroud and offers superb access to the M5. With lots of new houses also available closer to Bristol, don’t forget to ask your adviser about offers like our Movemaker scheme when you give us a call to book your appointment.
