Windsoredge, Nailsworth

Description

Stone steps, shared with the neighbouring property, lead you to a private gate that opens into the garden of Number 2. A gravel path takes you through the garden to a stone entrance porch. Along the front of the house, a climbing wisteria adds colour and charm to the Cotswold stone facade, offering a welcoming first impression. The porch provides a practical space for coats, boots, and everyday essentials, with a large window looking out over the garden. From here, a traditional thumb latch door leads into the sitting room, a cosy and characterful space with an exposed Cotswold stone wall and a fireplace with woodburning stove set on a stone hearth. Built-in shelving to both sides provides thoughtful storage. A window to the front, complete with window seat, fills the room with natural light and offers a lovely view of the garden. There’s also a small understairs cupboard tucked away for extra storage. From the sitting room, a step up leads to a small inner hall where stairs lead to the upper floors. Here you'll also find a handy storage nook with shelving. The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and is a bright, airy space thanks to two Velux windows and an additional window to the rear. With room to reconfigure and personalise, it offers great potential to create a modern and functional kitchen.

Upstairs, on the first floor, there is a well proportioned bedroom with a front facing window that enjoys pretty views across the valley. A Cotswold stone recess adds character to the room. The bathroom is also on this level and includes a bath with shower over. Stairs from the landing lead up to a good sized attic. Light and spacious, this versatile area offers excellent head height, under eaves storage, and benefits from a Velux window and fitted carpet, making it a useful and comfortable additional space.

Outside

The garden is positioned entirely to the front of the property and offers a lovely balance of space, privacy, and outlook. A raised decked area provides the perfect spot to sit and take in far-reaching views across the valley, with room for outdoor furniture and a shed tucked neatly to one side. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with a flower border, enclosed by hedging on one side and a stone wall on the other, creating a sheltered and peaceful space to enjoy.

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.
