4 Bed Detached House For Sale

6 Lower Newmarket Road offers a great opportunity to acquire a detached family home in a sought after location within the hamlet of Newmarket. The property enjoys a south facing aspect with lovely views across the valley, and is within walking distance of Nailsworth town centre, the popular George Inn, and a variety of footpaths and countryside walks. The house has been extended and adapted over the years, now providing a good flow of light and airy accommodation arranged over two floors. The entrance hall leads to a cloakroom and a comfortable sitting room at the front of the house, featuring a fireplace with a log burning stove, a welcoming spot for cooler evenings. From the hallway, the space opens into the kitchen/dining room, very much the heart of the home, with the kitchen at one end fitted with units, a range cooker, and a butcher’s block, while the dining area enjoys lovely valley views. There’s also room here for a sofa, creating a relaxed family space that takes full advantage of the southerly aspect. An additional reception room off the kitchen provides flexibility as a snug, home office, or playroom, depending on your requirements. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from valley views and an en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level.

This property offers the chance to create a comfortable and well located family home with plenty of scope for personalisation and improvement, all within easy reach of Nailsworth’s shops, cafés, and amenities.

Outside, there is driveway parking for several vehicles and useful storage within the former garage. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature, facing south with open views over fields towards Shortwood and beyond. A level terrace behind the house provides a pleasant space for outdoor dining or entertaining, while the garden then slopes down to meet the Miry Brook, a peaceful natural setting that attracts a variety of wildlife and birds.

The popular hamlet of Newmarket is in a sheltered valley within easy walking distance of both woodland walks and the centre of Nailsworth just over half a mile away which is the 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 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 (one with a post office), doctors' surgery, dentist, optician, pharmacy, 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.
