Newmarket, Nailsworth, GL6

Well presented throughout, this Victorian home successfully combines period character with modern touches to create a welcoming place to live. The accommodation is well proportioned throughout and has a warm and inviting feel from the moment you step inside. An enclosed entrance porch provides a practical space for coats and shoes before opening into the sitting room, which is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house. Beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, it features a fireplace with a wood burning stove and is a wonderfully welcoming room that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the property. To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is arranged with the kitchen to one side and a dedicated dining area alongside. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of base and wall units complemented by wooden worktops and a built-in oven and hob, creating a practical space for everyday living. The first floor is home to the particularly spacious principal bedroom, which enjoys lovely views across the valley and benefits from fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is also found on this floor and features a roll top bath with shower over, wash hand basin, WC and a large airing cupboard. Two further double bedrooms occupy the second floor, completing the accommodation.

A stable door from the kitchen leads to the rear garden, which is arranged over a series of terraces. The first lawned terrace incorporates a timber shed with a useful log store beneath, while the upper decked seating terrace provides an ideal spot to enjoy the leafy surroundings, with the woodland beyond.

The popular hamlet of Newmarket is in a sheltered valley within easy walking distance of both woodland walks and the centre of Nailsworth just over half a mile away which is the 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 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 (one with a post office), doctors' surgery, dentist, optician, pharmacy, a regular farmers’ market and a ‘green’ football club. 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.
