Beechwood Close, Nailsworth, Stroud, GL6

If you’re looking for a house you can just move into and get on with enjoying life, then 33 Beechwood Close is one for your viewing itinerary. Situated in a popular cul de sac above Nailsworth, the property was built in 2008 and has been extensively improved since that time, making for a spacious, low maintenance, energy efficient home, with accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall leads to a generous kitchen with room for a table and double doors to the garden. A door leads from the hallway into the 16’ garage with an up and over door to the front. There is also a downstairs toilet on the ground floor. Stairs lead from the hallway to the first floor, where there is a 15’ sitting room overlooking the garden. A bathroom and double bedroom are also on this floor, with a 15’ principal bedroom with en suite shower room and further 15’ bedroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. The house is light, and well proportioned, and offered to the market chain free.

The property has two parking spaces at the front and a single garage.The garage is integral, with an up and over door, power and light and a door into the entrance hall, so you can walk into the space without leaving the house. The garden is at the rear, and this has been recently landscaped. There is a paved and gravelled terrace area directly behind the house, with a level lawn beyond this, with plum tree at the bottom of the plot and raised planters. There is another seating area at the bottom of the garden, and this is gravelled, with gate out here to access at the rear.

“What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?” - these are the opening lines of the world-famous poem Leisure by W H Davies, written in 1911 while he was living in a cottage at Watledge. Today, Nailsworth has changed a great deal since Davies’ time, but there is still much to stand and stare at in the bustling town centre, 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.
