Grove Lodge is a handsome detached double fronted property situated in a secluded position high above Nailsworth. This location offers the best of both worlds, as it’s private, but also allows you to be very much part of the thriving local community, with the shops and amenities of the town just down the hill. The property was originally built using traditional methods from natural stone and has subsequently been extended at the side and rear. It has been stylishly dressed and decorated by the current owners, with over 2200 sq. Ft. Of characterful accommodation arranged over three floors. An entrance hall, 24’ reception room with sash windows and a wood burning stove, utility room and a first class 20’ kitchen/family room with vaulted ceiling, bespoke kitchen units, two Aga stoves and glazed doors that open on the front terrace are on the ground floor. A feature staircase leads up from the hall all the way up through the property, with a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, shower room and further double bedroom on the first floor. Two further bedrooms are at the top of the house, on the second floor, as is an impressive glazed rear gable extension, with a door out on to the rear garden. The outlook from the windows at the front over the town and surrounding countryside is rather special, and high quality fittings have been used throughout this excellent Cotswold home.
The property benefits from a detached double garage, parking for two cars and terraced gardens and grounds, with a total plot size of 0.267 acres. The garage is at road level, with two up and over doors, and a useful store over, with access from the rear, which could potentially be converted for use as a work from home space, subject to relevant permissions. Steps then lead up to the house and a level front garden. The view from this area is superb, and glazed doors open from the kitchen onto this area. Steps lead up at the side of the house to the rear garden. There is a paved area immediately behind the house, with steps up to a level entertaining area. The grounds continue up beyond that point up towards the woodland behind, and the current owners keep this area as a wilder, natural space, with another level area at the top. The view from the top of the plot is quite superb, and the property benefits from a rigth of way over the neightbouring path at the side that leads down to the street.
The property is situated at the beginning of a country lane in Watledge, above Nailsworth. Nailsworth has become an increasingly popular shopping destination within the Stroud Valleys benefiting from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of very well regarded restaurants. In addition to this the town currently benefits from three supermarkets and free parking. Bus services connect with Stroud, some four miles away, where there is a more comprehensive selection of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. 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.
