Brewery Lane, Nailsworth, GL6

Rock Cottage is a charming semi detached Cotswold stone cottage, ideally situated in the heart of Nailsworth town centre yet tucked away along a peaceful lane. Believed to date back to the 17th century, this delightful home is rich in character and period features throughout. A stable door opens into an inviting kitchen/dining room, offering ample space for a large farmhouse table. The room is fitted with a range of wall and base units, deep storage drawers, a built-in oven and hob, and an integrated fridge and freezer. Triple aspect windows fill the space with natural light. A door leads through to the cosy sitting room, which also enjoys triple aspect windows and features an impressive inglenook fireplace with a cast iron wood burning stove. From the sitting room, a door opens to a spiral staircase leading to the first floor. The spacious landing provides an ideal area for occasional furniture and benefits from a practical linen cupboard. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows, a built-in wardrobe, wash hand basin and additional storage. Bedroom two is also generously proportioned and features a window seat overlooking the lane, exposed ceiling beams, and a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom has a window with a deep sill and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and tiled flooring. A further staircase leads from the landing to the second floor where there is an additional bedroom, currently used as a meditation room. This room benefits from an en-suite shower room and useful storage space.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a small seating area, ideal for a bistro table and chairs. The current owner has enhanced privacy by screening the space with attractive potted planting. There is also a useful storage shed.

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.
