3 bed detached house for sale

Northfields Road, Nailsworth GL6

Believed to date from the 1920s, this detached home has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners over recent years, with significant investment including a replacement roof, new heating system, updated electrics and a refitted family bathroom. The result is a welcoming home that successfully blends original character with modern comforts, while still offering an opportunity for a purchaser to put their own stamp on the rear ground floor accommodation if desired.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall gives access to the principal reception rooms and staircase to the first floor. The sitting room is a generously proportioned reception room enjoying lovely views across the valley towards Watledge and Theescombe. A fireplace with a wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point. The dining room also benefits from views through a bay window to the front and leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching base and wall units. Beyond the kitchen is the family room, where French doors open onto the paved seating area, creating a lovely connection with the garden. A separate utility provides additional storage and appliance space, together with access to the rear garden and the ground floor bathroom. Whilst this part of the house would now benefit from updating, it offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to put their own stamp on the property. The first floor offers three well proportioned double bedrooms arranged around the landing, where an attractive stained glass window provides a lovely feature. The two front bedrooms make the most of the views across the valley towards Watledge and Theescombe, while the third overlooks the rear garden. The original fourth bedroom has been converted into a spacious family bathroom, creating a generous room fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

The property is situated in a good road above Nailsworth town. 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.
