Walkley Wood, Nailsworth

Description

2 Strathmore Cottages is a delightful semi detached cottage built from cotswold stone, situated in the peaceful hamlet of Walkley Wood. The property enjoys spectacular views across the valley and is within walking distance of the popular market town of Nailsworth, as well as beautiful countryside walks right from the doorstep. This well loved home has been in the same ownership since 1979 and has been extended, beautifully maintained, and cherished as a family home over the years. The characterful accommodation is arranged across four floors, offering a unique layout that allows family members to enjoy their own space.

You enter the property via a porch into a welcoming hallway, with stairs leading both up and down. To the right is a lovely sitting room featuring windows to both front and rear, allowing plenty of natural light and offering fantastic views. The adjacent sun room, with oak flooring and french doors opening to the garden, is the perfect spot to relax by the cast iron log burning stove on cooler days. On the lower ground floor is a spacious kitchen/dining room ideal for entertaining. It features a good range of units, a Rayburn that heats the water, and a conventional cooker. From here, a door leads to a practical utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and access to the front garden. A good sized workshop is also located on this level. The first floor offers the principal bedroom with two windows showcasing the rear views, as well as the family bathroom. Stairs then lead to the top floor, where you’ll find two further double bedrooms, perfect for children or guests.

Outside

A driveway provides off road parking for one vehicle. A garden gate leads to a charming front garden with lawns, well stocked flower beds, a small garden shed, and a lovely wooden veranda that wraps around the sunroom - an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Location

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.
