Park Road, Nailsworth

Description

This immaculately presented 1920’s semi detached home has been thoughtfully extended and updated to offer practical, modern living with generous space both inside and out. Set behind a wrought iron gate, the house is approached via a paved path leading to an entrance canopy, with mature planting and a Virginia creeper climbing the front facade, giving the property a welcoming and established feel.

Inside, a light entrance hall with tiled floor includes a handy understairs storage area and space for coats and shoes. To the front, the sitting room is a cosy space with a large window, fireplace and wood burning stove. The standout feature of the home is the spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room. Flooded with natural light from two Velux windows and full width bi-fold doors, this is a sociable and versatile space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes a large island with induction hob and ceiling extractor, twin ovens (including one with steam function), and a mix of drawer and cupboard units. In the dining area, a wood effect gas fire adds warmth and atmosphere, with built-in cupboards to either side providing useful storage. Underfloor heating runs throughout the space. From the dining area, a door leads to a practical boot room, which connects to a utility space with shelving and a shower room with steps down to a separate WC. Another door from the kitchen end opens into a rear lobby with side access and an internal door to the garage. Space saver stairs from this lobby lead to a useful study or playroom above the garage, with Velux and porthole windows and its own tiled shower room. Back in the main house, the first floor offers three good sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom to the front has an arched alcove and front window that lets in lots of natural light, while the two rear bedrooms enjoy views out over the playing fields and valley beyond. The bathroom is fully tiled and features a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle with rainfall shower. A loft hatch with ladder leads to a boarded loft for extra storage. The property also benefits from a fully owned solar panel system.

Outside

The Mediterranean style garden has been designed for low maintenance enjoyment and year-round appeal. Bi-fold doors from the kitchen open onto a paved veranda with mature wisteria, creating a lovely spot for al fresco dining. The main garden is fully paved, private and sunny, with a gate at the rear leading to the parking area and garage, and a side gate providing access to the front. There’s also a fully insulated cabin/studio, ideal for use as a home office, hobby room or creative space, with a wood store on one side and a separate storage area on the other. Stone steps lead up through a pergola to a second, elevated patio bordered by a Cotswold stone wall, offering a peaceful suntrap and additional entertaining space. Every element has been thoughtfully planned to create a garden that’s both practical and enjoyable throughout the seasons

Location

The property is ideally located just a short walk from the vibrant town centre of Nailsworth, which is home to many independent businesses, including the famous Williams Food Hall and Hobbs House Bakery. The town offers a variety of speciality shops, cafes, and restaurants, along with regular farmers’ markets and a ‘green’ football club. St George’s Playing Fields, located directly behind the house, provide expansive green space, and a nearby wood offers a peaceful natural setting for leisurely walks. Nailsworth is nestled at the bottom of steep wooded hills and is well positioned for both town and country living. Beyond the town, the stunning National Trust common land offers acres of walking opportunities, as well as a prestigious golf course. The property is also close to Woodchester Park, with miles of woodland walks and secluded lakes. For more comprehensive amenities, Stroud is just four miles away, and the property is well-connected by bus services. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are easily accessible, with railway stations at Stroud (4 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) offering mainline services to Gloucester, Swindon, and London Paddington.
