A detached four bedroom Edwardian house located in a popular road high above Nailsworth and enjoying extensive views with gardens, garage and parking
Welcome to this charming detached Edwardian house, a delightful family home that seamlessly combines classic elegance with modern comforts. Built in 1912, the residence has been thoughtfully extended to enhance its living spaces, providing a perfect blend of proximity to town amenities and the tranquillity of the countryside. Located in a convenient setting, the property boasts stunning views that captivate from both inside and outside.
As you approach the front, the house welcomes you with its distinctive Edwardian features, including bay windows that not only add character but also flood the interior with natural light. The rare and evergreen rose named 'Mermaid' graces the front facade, showcasing large yellow flowers and contributing to the property's unique appeal. Step inside, and you'll discover a spacious interior where traditional and modern elements coexist harmoniously. The kitchen has a gas Aga, that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. In the sitting room, a woodburner adds both charm and practicality, providing a cozy space for family gatherings. The staircase leads you to a spacious landing with access to a loft with potential for conversion (subject to the relevant planning permissions). The principle bedroom has a stunning stained glass window, adding a touch of vintage elegance to the space along with an en-suite shower room and dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms and bathroom on this floor.
Outside, the property offers a well-maintained west-facing rear garden with a hedge boundary featuring a variety of trees such as field maple, dogwood, alder and hazels. Fruit enthusiasts will appreciate the three damson trees, apple tree, wild plum, cherry, gooseberry, and red and black currant bushes. A vegetable bed with a no-dig system and dedicated asparagus beds cater to those with a green thumb. The outdoor space also includes a secluded entertaining area immediately off the kitchen, accessible through bi-fold doors, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A pedestrian gate at the rear of the garden leads to a hidden walkway, offering a charming shortcut to the road above. There is a tandem parking area at the front of the house and a single garage with an up-and-over door and inspection pit. Additionally, the house features an original doorbell, a hot and cold tap on the side, and an outbuilding with power and light. The greenhouse is equipped with water and a power cable awaiting a simple connection.
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.
