Description - The Old Vicarage is a superbly proportioned Victorian country house. Handsome rooms, period features and high ceilings combine to create a wonderfully elegant home whilst also providing practical living spaces. An impressive arched door sets the tone for what lies within, opening into a spacious reception hall plus a boot room and cloak room. The three reception rooms are all of handsome proportion, with feature fireplaces and parquet flooring creating a mellow and welcoming vibe. The kitchen is clearly the heart of the home and is a spacious room with fabulous large windows allowing the light to flood in. There is ample room for a dining table and doors open directly to a magical enclosed courtyard area, offering the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink. A large utility leads off the rear of the kitchen, an ideal space to hide washing and also useful as an overflow back kitchen when hosting large parties.

A wonderful sweeping staircase spirals up through the core of the house, accessing four first floor bedrooms, the principal with en-suite, plus a family bathroom. There are a further 3 bedrooms on the top floor plus an office and bathroom. The top floor rooms offer an ideal space for a home teenage den/snug. All of the rooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide ample storage and comfortable living spaces with lovely far reaching views towards Spring Hill and from the rear of the property, views over the neighbouring playing field.

The house is enveloped by its own grounds, with most of the garden set to the front and side of the house, with a handsome horse chestnut tree and well stocked borders. There are several paved seating areas, ideal for alfresco entertaining and ample parking accessed via a sweeping gravel drive.

Location - The location of The Old Vicarage is one of its key attributes. Within a five minute walk of the vibrant market town of Nailsworth, the property is still within easy reach of beautiful open countryside. The market towns of Stroud, Tetbury and Minchinhampton are all just a short drive away, offering a host of neighbouring Cotswold market towns to visit.

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 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. Minchinhampton has a fabulous common, providing access to 100s of acres of glorious National Trust land and well-known for the cattle and horses that freely graze. The Old Vicarage is well located for transport links with both the M5 and M4 easily accessible and trains into London Paddington from either Stroud or Kemble station.

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. At the roundabout at the bottom of the hill (just after Morrisons on your left), turn left and then almost immediately left again. Vicarage Gardens is the second road on your right and The Old Vicarage is the second property on the left, accessed via a gravel drive.
