4 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

A unique character property in an elevated location above Nailsworth. This position is very much part of the thriving local community, with easy access to the shops and amenities of the town and country walks and Ruskin Mill on the doorstep. The property was originally built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone and has been extended in the recent past, with accommodation arranged over three floors. A kitchen, 17' dining room with wood burning stove and 16' sitting room are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the latter, with a landing, principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room/study, further bedroom and bathroom on this floor. There are two more bedrooms, a large landing room (ideal as a childs play space or teenage sitting room) and a separate WC at the top of the house, on the second floor. The property is in need of some further improvement but is absolutely brimming with character, and the windows at the front take in a lovely view across the valley and over the grounds of Ruskin Mill.The gardens are to the front and rear of the property and are a real feature. The property is accessed via a right of way over the neighbouring properties in Swan Bank with a path that leads to the front door. The front garden is below this path, with steps down to a pleasant area with a gravelled spot for a table and chairs, a lawn, established planting and a super view across the grounds of Ruskin Mill. The pathway continues around the side of the house, with the majority of the garden found here. This slopes up from the house, and there is a right of way for the occupants of number 2 to access their rear garden. There is a fantastic decked area directly behind the property, modelled on the bow of a ship, with steps then leading up through the garden. this area comprises sloping lawns with mature trees, shrubs and planting, with a productive cultivated area and gravelled sitting spot. There are two wooden studio/workshops, a shed, a woodstore and a stone built store. There is a natural spring in the far corner, and the view from the top of the garden across to Barton End and the surrounding countryside is rather special. The residents of Swan Bank tend to park on the area at the top of the drive leading up to the properties, and whilst this isnt deeded to the houses individually, this is where the currents owners of number 3 have always parked.Nailsworth's bustling town centre 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.Agents NoteThe owners are very serious above selling but they aren't prepared to move into rented accommodation, so a prospective buyer will have to wait for then to find a suitable property to buy.Additional InformationThe property is Freehold.
