This individual detached house might be situated in Dark Lane, but the clue is definitely not in the name with this one - it is a large, light-filled house with bags of flexible space. Dark Lane is a quiet spot above Nailsworth, with easy access to the shops and amenities of our thriving little town and countryside walks just along the lane. The 1950s property is built using traditional methods and has been the subject of significant refurbishment and remodelling over the last five years, with spacious family accommodation arranged over two floors. Improvements which have been carried out by the vendors include a new kitchen, new conservatory, a new roof to the utility room, a number of new windows and the reconnection of the annexe extension into the main house, with a new shower room.
An entrance hall, 17’ sitting room with new log burner, family room, double glazed conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, large utility room, downstairs toilet and a covered lean-to area used as a potting shed are on the ground floor. The modern streamlined kitchen with quartz worktops was installed by Wren only last summer. A staircase leads up from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, with a master bedroom with Jack and Jill shower room, family bathroom and five further bedrooms on this floor. The smallest room is ideal as a study or dressing room. Part of this floor was originally used as an annexe, and while it now functions beautifully as a big family house, prospective buyers could look to reinstate this, or use the large second bedroom as a workspace or first floor reception room. This means the property offers very flexible living space, particularly for those looking for multi-generational living. Highborough is tastefully decorated, with new carpets, and the new windows at the rear of the property enjoy a great view across the valley to Shortwood.
Gardens wrap around the property, which also benefits from parking for three cars and a large integral double garage. The front garden is laid to lawn and has space for a large trampoline, with established shrubs and a wall sheltering the house from the lane. There is also a private seating area here to the side of the house. The parking is at the front of the property, in front of the double garage. This is integral to the property and measures 22’ x 16’6”, with power and light. There is a gated path at the side of the house leading to the rear garden. This area faces south west, with an attractive patio area by the house and steps down to a lawn. This sunny space is enclosed with fencing and has a range of established shrubs. New fencing has been installed all around the property.
Nailsworth is 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.
