Windsoredge, Nailsworth

Description

Set in a peaceful rural position on the outskirts of Nailsworth, this charming Cotswold stone cottage enjoys lovely views across the valley and offers a wealth of period features across three floors. The front door opens into a well proportioned kitchen with tiled floor, wooden base and wall units with wooden worktops, a Belfast sink, and an attractive exposed Cotswold stone wall. There’s space for a small dining table, and a useful built in pantry cupboard. A step up from the kitchen leads into a 14’ sitting room featuring a Cotswold stone fireplace with woodburning stove, wooden flooring, ceiling beams, and additional exposed stonework. Built in cupboards provide useful storage, and the room has a warm, cottage feel. From here, the property opens into a lovely second reception room with vaulted ceiling, A-frame beam, and dual aspect windows that allow light to pour in. French doors lead out onto the garden, creating a seamless link to the outdoor space. Upstairs, the first floor offers a light filled double bedroom with views over the garden and valley beyond, along with a stone fireplace and built in cupboard. A smaller double bedroom and a family bathroom with bath and shower over are also on this floor, along with airing and storage cupboards off the landing. A thumb latch door opens to stairs leading to a generous second floor double bedroom with exposed beams and dual aspect windows. Double glazing is fitted throughout, and the house offers an inviting mix of period features, space, and potential in a quiet and scenic location.

Outside

The rear garden is a lovely feature of the cottage, arranged in two sections and offering a mix of usable space and mature planting. Directly outside the second reception is a gravelled area with a small lawn and planted borders, ideal for a table and chairs. A path leads to a larger garden space, mainly laid to lawn, featuring a plum tree and a timber pergola covered in Virginia creeper that creates a natural, shaded seating spot. At the far end is a garden studio with power and light, perfect as a workspace or garden hideaway. Behind the studio is a small paved area ideal for bins, with gated rear access leading to the property’s parking space. A garage in a nearby block, just up the lane, is also included with the property.

Location

Nailsworth is home to many independent businesses, selling everything from artisan bread, meat and fish to stationery, fashion and handmade jewellery. Nestling at the bottom of steep wooded hills, Nailsworth is now an attractive and vibrant shopping destination, with a large selection of interesting speciality shops and cafes, including the famous Williams Food Hall and Hobbs House Bakery. It is a quirky and friendly town, with a good selection of restaurants, as well as three supermarkets, a regular farmers’ market and a ‘green’ football club. Nailsworth is well positioned for both town and country. Climb the steep ‘W’ hill out of town and you find yourself on acres of stunning National Trust common land, home to a prestigious golf course. The town is also on the doorstep of beautiful Woodchester Park, with miles of woodland walks and secluded lakes. Yet just four miles away is Stroud, with more comprehensive shopping, educational and leisure facilities, connected by bus services. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (4 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
