2 Folly Cottages is a wonderful home in the heart of our lovely town of Nailsworth. This tucked away location, just above the centre, is perfectly placed for the shops, amenities and inclusive community without feeling hemmed in or overlooked, and enjoys a great outlook over the town. The property was built some 20 years ago and was carefully styled with traditional local architecture in mind. The current owner has made improvements to the property during their tenure, and has used every inch of the accommodation in an imaginative, creative way. The resulting home is welcoming and stylish, with accommodation arranged over three floors.
A porch, entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c with some lovely panelling, kitchen and 15' x 13' sitting/dining room are on the ground floor. The latter has a fireplace with wood burning stove and a glazed door that opens to the garden. A landing, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, bathroom and further bedroom are on the first floor, with another double bedroom at the top of the house. The property is tastefully decorated, and the windows at the front take in a view over the chimney pots of the town.
Outside you'll find a private garden and parking. The parking area is to the side of the cottages, and our client parks two cars here, one behind the other. A path leads past 1 Folly Cottages to the front door of No.2. The garden is set to the side and rear of the property, with a stone wall boundary. The side garden is level and laid to lawn, with a path leading around to the rear. This leads to a paved seating area directly behind the house, with a lawn beyond. There is a useful shed sited in the corner of the plot, and shrubs and plants edge the lawns.
The property is situated just above the town centre. 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. 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.
