Horsley Road, Nailsworth

Description

This stunning Grade II Listed stone town house, located in the heart of this well-known town's conservation area, offers an exceptional blend of historic charm and modern convenience. This attached home is brimming with character, featuring exposed beams, spiral staircases, stone walls, and charming stone mullion windows. Historic England informs us that the property was first listed in 1951. According to this entry, the property dates back to early c18, although curiously the date ‘1631’ is etched in modern cement by one of the oval windows. The house is noted for the distinctive cross gabled styling, twin gables, ashlar quoins and chamfered stone mullion windows. 

Spread over three floors, the accommodation is both spacious and inviting, beginning with a solid oak timber door opening into a dining room, an ideal space for entertaining. It features a large feature fireplace and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor. A door from the dining room leads into the sitting room, which enjoys an abundance of natural light and views over the garden, as well as showcasing another stone fireplace housing a log burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room, added by a previous owner, is a stunning family space. It includes a family dining area and a modern kitchen with a built-in range cooker. Exposed A-frame beams enhance the room's character, and French doors open out to the garden, making it perfect for gatherings. The kitchen also connects to the rear lobby, which serves as a utility area with a cloakroom.

The first floor landing features exposed stone and thumb latch doors leading to all rooms, with a spiral staircase continuing up to the second floor. The principal bedroom on this floor boasts four windows that flood the room with light and offers a run of built-in wardrobes. Additionally, there's a shower room and a second bedroom with ample built-in storage. The second floor is home to a spacious bedroom, a good-sized single bedroom, and a family bathroom. This beautiful home strikes the perfect balance between historic elegance and modern family living, offering a truly unique opportunity in the heart of the town.

Mature trees and shrubs provide natural privacy and create a serene atmosphere, while a paved seating area is perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing with a book. The garden also benefits from a charming stone outbuilding, which could serve as a workshop, studio, or additional storage space. Surrounding the property, well-maintained hedges and borders add to the picturesque setting. The garden offers ample space for outdoor activities, with plenty of potential to personalize the area further to suit your lifestyle. For those who enjoy nature, the garden is an oasis, offering a wonderful space to unwind and immerse yourself in its beauty.
