The original mill buildings were converted to offer residential accommodation about 30 years ago. This particular apartment has large feature windows offering stunning views over the Nailsworth Stream and the historic sluice gate at the back of the mill and towards a lovely wooded area. The stream actually runs right under the apartment and the soothing sound of rushing water can be enjoyed in all the rooms. There are character features throughout the apartment, with a wealth of beams and exposed brickwork in the sitting room and exposed brickwork and large windows overlooking the stream in both the bedrooms. The single storey accommodation comprises an entrance hall, useful cupboard housing washing machine, kitchen with built-in oven and fridge, a lovely light sitting room, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, further bedroom and shower room.

“What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?” - these are the opening lines of the world-famous poem Leisure by W H Davies, written in 1911 while he was living in a cottage at Watledge. Today, Nailsworth has changed a great deal since Davies’ time, but there is still much to stand and stare at in the bustling town centre, 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.
