11 The Wool Loft is a character property in a great location in the heart of Nailsworth. This position is very much part of the the thriving local community, with shops and amenities on the doorstep and country walks just up the road. The original part of the property was for many years known as Newmans Wool Warehouse, and reportedly dates back to 1726. This part of the building was built in the 19th century, as part of the orginal Grade II listed building, with accommodation over three floors. This comprises a spacious entrance hall, cloakroom/W.C and 16' kitchen/dining room on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing and 17' sitting room on this level. There are two bedrooms and a bathoom at the top of the house, on the second floor. The property is spacious, and whilst it is in need of some updating, it is available chain free, and offers prospective buyers the chance to create a home to thier own standards in the heart of our wonderful little town.
The property benefits from two parking spaces. One is at the front of the property, and is numbered accordingly and one is to the side of the property. No 11 has its own entrance, with steps up from the parking area to the front door.
"What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?” - these are the opening lines of the world-famous poem Leisure by W H Davies, written in 1911 while he was living in a cottage at Watledge. Today, Nailsworth has changed a great deal since Davies’ time, but there is still much to stand and stare at in the bustling town centre, 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. 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.
