The property has been redecorated and re-carpeted recently and is in need of some further updating however offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to improve a large village home to their own standards and taste.
The property benefits from parking for several cars, an attached garage and a large plot with stabling that stretches away from the house, with a total plot size of some 1.7 acres. A gated path leads to the front door with a level lawn in front of the house. The garage is to the side of the property with an upper and over door and parking to the front for several vehicles. This hardstanding area extends around to the side of the property. There is a rear lawn with an established planted border at the front. This opens onto a paved area which continues to join a large timber deck, with a greenhouse and a summer house here. There are two loose box stables with three associated stores one of which is open at the front. There’s a small enclosed paddock in front of the stables and a five bar gate that leads down into the rest of the plot. The first area here has been a productive growing area in the past with excellent soil. Beyond this is an orchard with a variety of fruit trees, including apple, plum, mulberry and medlar. You then walk through the orchard and down into the woodland area. This large area is populated with a variety of trees, and is a great spot for nature lovers. This slopes down to the fence at the bottom and borders the field below.
The sought after village of Horsley boasts a community owned shop, church, village hall, good pub and primary school. The lively Cotswold town of Nailsworth is approximately 1½ miles away and has become an increasingly popular shopping destination within the Stroud Valleys benefiting from a large and comprehensive selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, various clothing and gift shops, several cafes and a good selection of very well regarded restaurants. In addition to this the town currently benefits from three supermarkets, free parking and both state and private schooling in the area. Bus services connect with Stroud, some 4 miles away, where there is a more comprehensive selection of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. 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.
