Dark Lane, Nailsworth, GL6

Set in a peaceful, elevated lane just above Nailsworth centre, Windsmeet is a superb opportunity for one lucky buyer. This first class detached Edwardian home is in a fantastic setting within half a mile of the shops and amenities of our lovely town, and is very much part of the thriving, inclusive local community but still offers real privacy. Originally built in 1912 and extended over the years, this spacious family home has been improved by the current owner during their tenure. The resulting property is welcoming, spacious and light, with accommodation arranged over two floors.  A large reception hall sets the scene. The doors to the reception rooms are on the left, on the south side of the house, and both the snug and sitting room are bathed in light on a sunny day. The kitchen/family room is the hub of the house. This 24' room has plenty of room to cook, eat, congregate and relax, and is wonderfully airy, with three windows to two aspects and folding glazed doors that open the room up to the conservatory. There's also a study, useful utility room and a cloakroom/WC. on this level. A handsome staircase leads up from the ground floor, with a landing, four double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC on this level. The windows at the rear take in a great view over the Newmarket valley. There's a large loft space, and a prospective buyer may look to create further accommodation here subject to planning permission, but in truth the house is already large enough for pretty much any family situation. A wonderful house, and one that we're proud to be selling. A early appointment to view is very much advised.

The spacious interior is matched by a large garden and plenty of parking. The main garden is situated behind the house on the south side, with a paved sitting area right outside, perfect for enjoying the sun and the view. There is a level lawn beyond this, enclosed with fencing, with a gated access into the garden from the side. The garden continues around to the side of the house. There is another sitting spot here, and a large timber built shed. Grand old trees and established planting are found throughout the plot and the current owners have recently created a superb parking area at the front of the house. This is gravelled, with space to park five/six vehicles, with a Cotswold stone and render wall boundary on the lane. 

The property is situated in Dark Lane, a popular address 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.
