Box, Stroud, GL6

Tucked away in a prime position within the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Box, this delightful semi-detached character home offers the perfect blend of rural charm and convenient living. The friendly village community is complemented by the nearby market town of Nailsworth, with its array of independent shops, cafés, and everyday amenities just a short drive away. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the stunning open landscapes of Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons—hundreds of acres of National Trust land ideal for walking, picnics, and enjoying the outdoors.

Constructed using traditional Cotswold stone and featuring a classic pitched roof, the property is arranged over three floors, offering a warm and welcoming feel throughout. The ground floor includes a porch, a lovely 15’ sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and a well-appointed kitchen. Upstairs, the first floor hosts a family bathroom, and two bedrooms. The top floor is home to a generously sized third bedroom measuring 16’ x 15’, perfect as a home office, or guest room. Full of period character and charm, this home benefits from attractive features throughout, with every window offering lovely views of the surrounding area.

The property enjoys a charming and easily maintained rear garden, offering a lovely spot to relax outdoors. Access is available directly from the sitting room via a glazed door, or via a shared pathway to the side of the cottage. Steps lead up to a sunny, elevated patio and gravelled area—an ideal setting for a small table and chairs, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The garden is enclosed by fencing, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion. A gate at the rear allows occasional access for a neighbouring property, though we understand this is an informal arrangement between the households and not a legally established right of way.

The village of Box lies on the sheltered south facing escarpment and close to 600 acres of common land belonging to the National Trust. The town of Nailsworth benefits from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops and a good selection of cafes and restaurants. Beaudesert Park school is within walking distance and there are well regarded junior schools at both Amberley and Minchinhampton. There is a main line railway station at Stroud which is some four miles distant and provides a direct service to London Paddington together with a more comprehensive range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities.
