Bath Road, Nailsworth, GL6

Locksley is a handsome double fronted Cotswold stone town house in a prominent position just above Nailsworth centre. Accordingly, the property is within easy reach of the shops, amenities and thriving, friendly community of our wonderful town, but is also well placed for country walks, found just up the road in the Horsley valley and beyond. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched tiled roof, with accommodation arranged over three floors. The owner has always understood that the property was built in 1846, but a recent survey suggests that it may be older. Certainly, the style is decidedly Georgian in appearance, and period character can be found throughout the house.

You walk into the entrance hall, with reception rooms to either side. The sitting room is on the left, with a fireplace with wood burning stove and arched recesses to either side. The dining room is to the right of the hall, and this leads through to a large 25' kitchen/breakfast room. There's plenty of space here to cook, eat, entertain and congregate, and a door that leads out to the rear garden. A useful cellar is found below the ground floor, with steps from the dining room, and a staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor. A landing, principal suite with dressing room, double bedroom and shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are on this level, with two connecting bedrooms at the top of the house, on the second floor. The house is tastefully decorated and presented and offered to the market with no onward chain. An appointment to view is highly recommended. 

The property benefits from a rear garden, parking and an attached workshop/store. Railings border the pavement at the front, with a gate leading to the front door. The rear garden is fenced and enclosed, with a gravelled area directly behind the property and a brick paviour path leading to the side gate. A level lawn is beyond this, with a raised planted border to one side, and a paved seating spot at the top of the plot. In addition, there is a large workshop studio with access from the garden. This is part of the structure of the house, and measures 17'11" x 9'3". It would make a fine workshop or work from home space, but could also be incorporated into the house, increasing the living space, subject to relevant planning consents. The parking space is found just behind the gate, with access from Park Road.

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.
