Homefield, Shortwood, Nailsworth, GL6

Set in an elevated and peaceful position above Nailsworth, this detached bungalow enjoys truly outstanding views across the surrounding valleys. Occupying a generous plot with level gardens, garage and parking, the property offers a rare opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise a home with enormous potential. The property is offered to the market chain free.

Built in the 1970s, the bungalow is now ready for its next chapter. It’s quiet yet convenient location, combined with its far reaching outlook and practical layout, makes it an exciting prospect for those seeking a home to modernise to their own taste. The accommodation is approached via an entrance hall with a cloakroom/WC. The sitting room is a bright and welcoming space, featuring a large picture window to the front which floods the room with natural light while perfectly framing the stunning views. The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units and benefits from two larder cupboards. A side porch leads from the kitchen and offers excellent potential to be converted into a utility room or boot room. From the hallway, a short flight of four steps leads to an upper landing serving the bedrooms and bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double, complemented by a second double bedroom and a third bedroom which would also make an ideal study, home office or hobby room. The bathroom is centrally located on this level.

Externally, the property’s position is one of its standout features. To the front is an unusually level garden, currently laid to lawn, allowing easy access with no steps to the property. The rear garden is also level and mainly laid to lawn, offering ample scope for keen gardeners or those wishing to create outdoor entertaining spaces. The plot extends beyond the fenced boundary to the edge of the highway path, further enhancing the sense of space. A single garage, attached to a neighbouring garage, with additional parking available to the front.

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.
