Worley, Nailsworth, GL6

April Cottage is a substantial and beautifully presented Cotswold stone home, set in a peaceful no through lane above Nailsworth. Its elevated, south facing position provides exceptional views across the Newmarket Valley towards Shortwood, while the shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities of Nailsworth remain within easy reach. The property offers more than 2,200 sq. ft of flexible accommodation arranged over three floors and has recently been redecorated throughout, combining period character with generous, light filled living spaces.

The ground floor is entered through a welcoming hallway, with a 16' sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove and a separate 16' dining room. The spacious 16' kitchen/breakfast room opens directly onto the front seating area and is complemented by a utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, comprising a generous double bedroom, dressing room or study and private shower room. A further double bedroom and an additional shower room are also located on this level. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Also on the first floor, the central bedroom currently provides access through to a dressing room/study, from which a staircase leads to a generous top floor room. This room has been completely refurbished by the current owners, including the installation of Velux windows with building regulations approval, creating a bright and versatile space suitable as a fifth bedroom, home office or studio. Planning permission has been granted (S.25/0397/HHOLD) to extend the existing outbuilding to create a separate corridor and independent access to the dressing room/study, removing the need to walk through the central bedroom. This would allow the dressing room/study and refurbished top floor room to function together as a self-contained annexe, guest suite, workspace or accommodation for an older child or relative. The house is naturally light throughout, with many of the front facing rooms enjoying the superb open outlook. Its scale and layout make April Cottage particularly well suited to family life, home working and multigenerational living.

To the front of the house is a paved, south facing seating area, created following the recent removal of the former conservatory by the current owners. This provides an attractive place to sit, dine and enjoy the views across the valley. Steps lead alongside the house to a large raised terrace above the carport. With its southerly aspect and extensive outlook, this is an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The main garden lies to the rear and is predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting, mature shrubs and a further seating area. Beneath the terrace is a substantial double carport with light and power, providing covered parking and useful storage. The lane serves only a small number of properties, with no passing traffic, and residents have use of the turning area at its far end.

April Cottage occupies an unusually peaceful position, surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of the town centre. Nailsworth is a vibrant Cotswold town known for its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, including Williams Food Hall and Hobbs House Bakery. The town also offers three supermarkets, a regular farmers’ market, sporting facilities and a strong local community. Stroud is approximately four miles away and provides a wider range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, together with a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Paddington. Kemble station is also readily accessible, while the M4 and M5 provide convenient links to Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and the wider region.
