1 bed Flat For Sale £175,000
Spring Hill, Nailsworth, Stroud GL6


Description
Here is a great opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented apartment on the ground floor of Spring Hill House, a grand Grade II* listed Cotswold stone building set just above Nailsworth. This location is very much part of the thriving local community, with the shops and amenities of the town within easy reach and country walks just up the hill. The Historic England website describes the original property as the best building in Nailsworth, and the listing notes that the property could date back to 1672. Of particular conservation interest is the half spiral staircase, that runs up through the building from the communal entrance hall, and William and Mary panelling, which is very much a feature of no 6.

The accommodation is arranged over one floor and has just been the subject of a comprehensive renovation programme (September 2022). The impressive communal hall leads on to the apartment, which comprises a lovely 17' open plan living space with fitted kitchen area, bedroom and shower room. The kitchen and shower room fittings are all new, as are the electric and plumbing systems. In contrast, the character features of the property are very much original. These have been carefully retained, and include grand old sash windows and the aforementioned panelling, with a more recent (but still very attractive) parquet floor in the living area. All in all, a beautiful property, and a unique, chain free opportunity for a prospective buyer.

The property benefits from use of the parking area to the front of the building.

“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.
