Description - Wadden House is a superbly proportioned Victorian home, with an abundance of natural light throughout. The spacious reception hall with original oak parquet floor, sets the tone to this fabulous home which is both welcoming, whilst also steeped in historic features. High ceilings, so typical of the era and magnificent arched windows, create an instantly impressive and bright home. Built in 1862 for the Smith family, renowned local lawyers who also commissioned the building of Nailsworth's fountain, Wadden House is a historic gem. The two reception rooms are handsome in their proportions with mirror image stone carved fireplaces based on flowers from the four seasons.
The Kitchen/breakfast/family room is a fantastic space for informal entertaining and the layout lends itself superbly to everyday dining or chatting with family and friends whilst preparing food. The front facing dining room is perfect for more formal occasions or larger gatherings. A large boot room leads off the rear of the kitchen, ideal for muddy wellies and coats, together with a utility room. The garden can be accessed from the boot room, with a lovely seating area, perfect for a morning cup of coffee. There is also a useful cloakroom with WC, leading off the kitchen and a large full-height cellar, divided into two sections. Currently used for storage, the cellar has the potential to be adapted for alternative use, such as a gym or games room.
The bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase in the entrance hall. On the first floor is the principal suite with en-suite shower room and fabulous valley views to Nailsworth and beyond. There is a further light filled bedroom, again with wonderful valley views from the large crescent windows, along with a rear facing family bathroom and home office. The second floor comprises four further bedrooms, a cloakroom with WC and a useful storage area. There is access to a large attic providing further storage space, with the potential for alternative use.
The house is enveloped by a pretty landscaped garden, with numerous seating areas and a lovely patio, ideal for alfresco dining and summer BBQs. Lavender running along the front of the house gives a wonderful English country garden vibe. There is gravel parking for several cars to the side of the house, plus further gated parking to the rear of the property.
Location - Watledge is a charming hamlet within walking distance of the vibrant market town of Nailsworth. The hamlet comprises a pretty lane flanked by beautiful period properties, of which Wadden House is one of the finest. Located at the foot of a steep sided valley, Watledge is wonderfully peaceful, with minimal passing traffic, yet still within easy access of amenities and within minutes from open countryside, including Minchinhampton Common, offering 100s of acres of National Trust commonland.
Nearby Nailsworth is a buzzing market town with numerous independent retailers, restaurants and cafes. There is also a Morrisons supermarket and a popular delicatessen, William's Kitchen. Stroud is circa ten minutes drive and has several major supermarkets, including a Waitrose, as well as an award winning Saturday Farmers' Market. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools, in both the state and private sector. There are sought after grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham and in the private sector, Beaudersert Park School is only a five minute drive up the hill and Westonbirt School in Tetbury and Wycliffe in Stroud, are both easily accessible. There is also an excellent choice of schools in Cheltenham. The surrounding countryside offers a lovely source of walks with good pubs to explore and there are three challenging golf courses in nearby Minchinhampton.
Directions - From our Minchinhampton office head along West End, leading into Windmill Road towards Minchinhampton Common. At the junction, turn left and head down the steep hill towards Nailsworth. Just before the cattle grid on the sharp bend, turn right along a small lane leading to Watledge. Continue along the lane for circa half a mile and the gravel parking to Wadden House will be found on the right hand side, just before a right hand turning off the lane.
