Nortonwood, Nailsworth, Stroud, GL6

A great opportunity to purchase a freehold house with excellent parking and within easy walking distance of the well regarded Nailsworth primary school. 21 Norton Wood is a well proportioned house in need of some general updating and would be ideal for someone to make into a great starter home or an investment property. An entrance porch leads into an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a door leads into the sitting room. The kitchen and dining room are at the back of the house, with a lean-to conservatory off and doors to the rear garden. On the first floor level there is a large landing, two double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC.

To the front of the property there is parking for at least three vehicles. A side access with storage leads to the rear of the property with a useful shed. The compact garden is terraced and has flower beds and views towards Amberley. There is a pedestrian gate which leads to a children’s play area.

“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.
