4 bed detached house for sale

Dark Lane, Nailsworth GL6

Peter Joy Estate Agents are delighted to introduce to you to Woolstone House. This is one of two striking, newly constructed statement homes in a prime elevated position above Nailsworth, offering the perfect balance of town convenience and country views. Shops and amenities are within walking distance, as is the welcoming local community, yet you re still afforded a high degree of privacy just off a quiet country lane, well away from main road traffic.

This energy-efficient home features high levels of insulation, an air source heat pump, solar panels and intelligently planned living spaces expertly designed by a local architect to suit the way we live today. You enter on the first floor, with a welcoming entrance hall that leads to an oak staircase descending to the exceptional 31' x 30' open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. This is the heart of the home, with contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and two sets of bi-fold doors that connect the sitting area and kitchen to the rear garden and capture the spectacular view. In addition, there is a versatile separate reception room, utility room, study/bedroom and shower room on this floor - all the ground floor space you could ever need. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys an en suite shower room and glazed gable with balcony that looks out over the valley to Shortwood and the surrounding countryside. There is also a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and two further spacious double bedrooms on this floor. High quality fittings and up to the minute design ideas have been used throughout the property, and the owner has gone as far to dress the rooms*, giving a real sense of how this brilliant house could, for many people, be the perfect home.

The property benefits from parking for several cars, a large paved terrace and a landscaped rear garden that makes the very most of the outlook over the valley and the sunny aspect. The drive is shared with the two neighbouring houses, leads down from Dark Lane. Steps lead down by the front door to a lower path that leads around to the utility room door - perfect for dropping off a muddy dog after a country walk. A good paved terrace is directly behind the house, with plenty of space for a table and chair set – the perfect place to entertain or relax with the view. Steps then lead down to the lower garden, which is laid to lawn. This slopes away from the house to the lower boundary.

The property is situated off Dark Lane, a popular address above Nailsworth town. 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.
