Sandgrove, Horsley

Description

2 Sandgrove a characterful terraced house in an unrivalled rural position in Horsley. This first class location is only minutes from a good primary school, thriving pub and well stocked community shop, yet is surrounded by woodland, and accessed via a winding forest track. The terrace was built in 1933, as woodsman’s cottages. The current owner has owned the property since 2007 and has improved and renovated the property during this time. The resulting property is completely charming and has immense character, with well-considered accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, 14’ sitting room with wood burning stove, shower room, utility area and a lovely 18’ kitchen/dining room with bifold doors that open onto the deck and the garden beyond are on the ground floor. A landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor, with a 15’ attic at the top of the house. Every window enjoys a pleasant green outlook, and the property is available with no onward chain.

Outside

The property doesn’t have allocated parking, but the owners have always parked along the track, just before the terrace. A couple of steps lead up from the track to the front door. The property benefits from a long rear garden that stretches away from the house and makes the most of the superb view. There is a terrace directly behind the house, and bi-fold doors open onto this space from the kitchen, connecting the inside with the outside. Steps lead down from this area to a delightful, well stocked sloping garden. The view from the deck is first class – this is the perfect space to sit, relax, and take in the surrounding countryside.

Location

The property is nestled in Sandgrove Woods, on the outskirts of Horsely. This popular village boasts a shop, church and primary school.

In addition to this the town currently benefits from three supermarkets, free parking and both state and private schooling in the area. Nailsworth is also home to Forest Green Rovers Football Club where there is a modern leisure/fitness centre. Bus services connect with Stroud, some 4 miles away, where there is a more comprehensive selection of shopping, educational and leisure facilities.
