The freestanding kitchen features sleek Cesar units from this renowned Italian manufacturer, complemented by a central island and French doors opening onto a charming side courtyard. Leading off the kitchen, a feature archway and double doors open into the utility room, which benefits from a vaulted ceiling and provides valuable additional storage and workspace.

A connecting door leads through to the sitting room, an inviting space with a stone fireplace and log burning stove, also enjoying access to the terrace and creating excellent indoor outdoor flow. On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress. A delightful guest bedroom at the front of the house enjoys far reaching valley views and benefits from an adjoining cloakroom, while bedroom two is also positioned to the front, enjoying a similar outlook. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, enjoying direct access to its own private roof terrace, the perfect vantage point for morning coffee or evening drink while absorbing the panoramic countryside scenery. Completing the accommodation is a further bedroom/study, family bathroom and shower room.

The property is approached via a shared driveway with the neighbouring cottage, with Southbank House benefiting from two allocated parking spaces. To the front of the house is a lovely, private terrace accessed directly from both the dining and sitting rooms, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. The gardens are arranged over a series of thoughtfully designed terraces, with level seating areas positioned to make the most of the exceptional southerly views. Planted in a charming cottage garden style, the garden features herbs, climbing roses, honeysuckle and clematis, with an abundance of flowers throughout the seasons. The result is a beautifully stylish and tranquil outdoor space that perfectly complements the house. Southbank House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished home in a truly special location.

The popular hamlet of Newmarket is in a sheltered valley within easy walking distance of both woodland walks and the centre of Nailsworth just over half a mile away which is the 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 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 (one with a post office), doctors' surgery, dentist, optician, pharmacy, a regular farmers’ market and a ‘green’ football club. Just four miles away is Stroud, with more comprehensive shopping, educational and leisure facilities, connected by bus services.
