Harley Wood, Nailsworth, GL6

The Anchorage is a pretty Cotswold stone cottage nestled within the hamlet of Harley Wood with a good local community and a great view over the valley, and with the shops and amenities of the town within easy reach. Perched above Ruskin Mill, the character features include exposed stone walls and beams along with a cast iron log burning stove and solid fuel Rayburn that warms the radiators. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is as follows: timber front door leading to a small entrance lobby, a cosy sitting room with steps up to a kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units and a small breakfast bar. There is an inner lobby with tiled floor ideal for hanging coats, and plumbing for washing machine. The bathroom is also on the ground floor with white suite and window to the rear. Steps lead up from the kitchen/breakfast room to a double bedroom with window to front enjoying stunning views over the valley towards Rockness. There is hanging space along with built-in shelves and airing cupboard.

A quaint seating area is to the front of the cottage providing an idyllic spot for alfresco dining or simply basking in the beauty of the surroundings. There is also a useful store. Please note there is no off road parking for the Anchorage. For viewing purposes we suggest parking in the layby on the A46 just past Laurel Cottage on your left hand side and then walking down to the cottage. We do not recommend driving down into Harley Wood.

Harley Wood is within ½ mile of the centre of Nailsworth which 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.
