A beautifully presented detached Grade II Listed stone-built house situated this semi-rural location close to the thriving town of Nailsworth

Walnut Tree Cottage is a beautifully presented detached Grade II Listed stone-built house situated this semi-rural location close to the thriving town of Nailsworth. The property has been lovingly refurbished throughout since our client’s occupation back in 2014 and now provides a wonderful family home with bright and flexible accommodation over three floors. Maintaining many original features including exposed beams, timbers, stone walls and high ceilings, the house has been given a rather exciting modern twist including refreshingly bright décor, contemporary bathrooms all whilst paying a respectful nod to the age of the house. The property comprises; wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with central island and a range of fitted units, integrated appliances and a four oven Everhot, walk-in pantry and utility/boot room. The three good sized reception rooms are all dual aspect with their own fireplaces and the main one benefitting from vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. On the second floor the principal bedroom has a dressing room and luxurious modern en-suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, a shower room and a bathroom on this floor. On the third floor there are two double bedrooms with eaves storage (one with en-suite shower room). The property benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor and in all the bathrooms.
The property is approached off the lane through a timber 5 bar gate to a large gravel parking area and gives access to the outbuildings. The beautifully maintained gardens are south facing and very private, directly behind the house is a stunning contemporary paved sun terrace with water feature and large seating area ideal for ‘al fresco’ entertaining. Steps lead up from the terrace to the large lawned garden which and further orchard is found behind the manicured mature beech hedge. Beyond the garden are fields with far reaching views of open countryside.
