Tetbury Lane, Nailsworth, GL6

Number 1 Barley House is a lovely apartment in a Grade II listed building, situated in a country lane just above Nailsworth. This location is private, yet still very much part of the inclusive, thriving local community, with the shops and amenities of the town within easy reach and country walks up the lane. The historic site has a fascinating history. Derelict and unloved for many years, The Maltings is now being re-imagined as 13 truly stunning properties, many with original historical features.

This particular property is on the ground floor of Barley House and benefits from having its own front door, as well as parking and a small seating area literally just outside, so offering easy and independent living. It has spacious accommodation, arranged over one floor, which is full of character, retaining the historic feel of this important building. The front door opens into a hallway, with the large kitchen and living space on the right. The lovely kitchen area has been carefully planned, with integrated appliances and plenty of space to prepare and cook. This is a light-filled room with five character windows and room to relax and entertain. The hallway also leads on round to two bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom and a large cupboard. The principal bedroom benefits from a large walk-in cupboard and an en-suite shower room. High quality fittings have been used throughout this sympathetic renovation, with Neff appliances and Roca bathroom furniture and the site also benefits from ultra fast broadband. But care has also been taken to retain the listed features of this historic building and one can really feel a sense of history in this apartment.

The property benefits from a small seating area at the front and also one allocated parking space.

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.
