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. 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 Hazel Cottage will be found on the right hand side. Parking is located either on Watledge itself or on a small lane (Whips Lane) which is found just past the house on the right hand side.
