A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a rural lifestyle in a beautiful setting, yet with Nailsworth just five minutes away and Tetbury around ten minutes by car. Set within the prestigious Longford’s Mill development, this distinctive home forms part of a charming collection of houses and apartments sympathetically created from former mill buildings, with a stream meandering through the development towards Gatcombe Water.From the moment you arrive, there is a wonderful sense of calm and connection with the countryside. The house has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, with generous storage for coats and shoes on the ground floor and three comfortable double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom has the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom provides a bath with overhead shower.Upstairs is where this home really comes into its own. The beautifully proportioned open-plan living space has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, creating a wonderfully light and characterful room. With windows on several sides, natural light floods in throughout the day, while the wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point for cooler evenings. There is plenty of space for relaxed seating and a dining table, and double doors open directly onto the garden, making it easy to move between inside and out.The kitchen is equally impressive, combining style with practicality and designed with the keen cook in mind. A range cooker with gas hob sits alongside an integrated washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, while a large wine fridge and an abundance of cupboards and drawers make this a space that is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at. An added benefit is the water softener and a drinking tap. Adjacent is an airing cupboard and cloakroom.Outside, the garden is a particularly special feature. The large deck provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer lunches or drinks with friends, all accompanied by the gentle sound of the stream and views towards the surrounding countryside. A gate at the side of the house gives access to the water and the wider grounds, offering the opportunity to enjoy a little more of the beautiful setting whenever you wish.With three parking spaces immediately adjoining the garden, this is a home that combines the peace and beauty of a rural location with the convenience of being close to some of the Cotswolds’ most desirable towns. A characterful, wonderfully light and easy-to-live-in home, where weekends can be spent enjoying the garden, the water and the countryside, yet everyday amenities are only minutes away.
