Burfords Ground, Windsoredge, Nailsworth, GL6

Hillcrest is a beautifully presented 1930s semi detached family home, built in 1938 and lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1995. Brimming with charm and character, the property offers well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with many of the principal rooms enjoying breathtaking views across the valley.

A welcoming entrance porch opens into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front, a bright and inviting sitting room features a classic bay window that perfectly frames the far-reaching views, filling the space with natural light. An archway leads through to a useful study area, complete with a cupboard housing the immersion heater. A practical cloakroom and generous understairs storage add everyday convenience. Oak double doors open into the heart of the home, a superb kitchen/dining room designed for modern family living and entertaining. This sociable space offers an excellent range of wall and base units, complemented by a Smeg built-in gas hob and double oven. Windows to the rear, along with a back door and personal access to the garage, ensure the room is both light and functional. Upstairs, the landing leads to the impressive 21’ principal bedroom, a wonderfully airy room with dual aspect windows that make the most of the spectacular outlook. Two further bedrooms, one positioned to the front and one to the rear, provide comfortable and versatile accommodation. The family bathroom features a charming cast iron bath with shower over, blending period character with everyday practicality.

Outside, the property is approached via a private road, offering side by side parking for two/three vehicles. A generous single garage with electric roller door, power and lighting provides excellent storage and has direct access into the kitchen. The true showpiece, however, is the raised front terrace with wrought iron railings, a delightful spot for morning coffee or evening drinks while soaking in the panoramic valley views. To the rear, the lawned garden leads to a useful summer house, requiring refurbishment, where once again the stunning outlook can be enjoyed in peace and privacy.

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.
