1 Spion Kop is a semi detached, older style family home believed to date back to the 1920s, offering a wealth of character features throughout. Set high above Nailsworth on the south facing side of the hill, the property enjoys spectacular views over the town and beyond. Located along a single track lane, with countryside walks accessible from the doorstep, this lovely home also benefits from a detached annexe in the garden, ideal for guests or as a home office.

The property is entered via an entrance lobby, providing a practical space for coats and boots. From here, there is access to a utility area and a separate cloakroom. The farmhouse style kitchen forms the heart of the home, featuring ample storage, a Rangemaster  gas cooker, a central island and an exposed red brick wall with an archway leading into the dining room. The dining room offers bespoke built-in cupboards and flows into the sitting room, which is filled with natural light and features a fireplace with a log burning stove. Pine stripped stairs and an understairs cupboard add further character. Double doors open into a conservatory, with French doors leading out to a decked entertaining area. Stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor landing, which features a stripped panelled wall. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is at the rear of the house, while bedroom three is located at the front, taking full advantage of the stunning views. The family bathroom includes a separate shower cubicle and a roll top bath.

The property is approached via a single track country lane and offers parking for one car, along with a single garage. Steps lead down from the parking area to a terraced garden. A standout feature is the large, decked seating area accessed from the conservatory, ideal for entertaining. An additional terrace leads down to a lower section with a pond, a lawn with apple trees, and a secluded seating area. A separate area of land adjacent to the boundary of 1 Spion Kop is also included and could offer potential for additional parking, subject to the necessary permissions.

The detached annexe is clad in sweet chestnut and provides a versatile space, perfect for guests or home working. It comprises an open plan bedroom/sitting room, a kitchenette, and a shower room.

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.
