Nupend, Horsley, GL6

The Gables is a handsome individual detached house situated in a superb elevated position at Nupend, Horsley. This location allows for easy access to the well regarded primary school and community shop of the village, with the shops of Nailsworth within easy reach and country walks on the door step. The property is built some thirty years ago using traditional methods under a pitched roof, and takes advantage of spectacular views across open countryside at the rear. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is very well presented. A welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c, 19’ sitting room, dining room, 19’ kitchen/breakfast room and useful utility room are on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family shower room, three further bedrooms and a useful office space found on this level. All the rooms are spacious and light, and every rear window takes in the first class outlook.

The property benefits from a gated drive, integral double garage and gardens to the front and rear. The drive is block paved, with space to park several cars, with the garage behind this. This has a double width up and over door, power and light and glazed double doors out to the rear. There is a pretty lawn in front of the house, with planted borders and trees, with a good view out over the road to the fields beyond. The majority of the garden is at the rear of the house, and this takes in the first class view over the valley. There is a paved area directly behind the house, with steps down to a level lawn. This is edged with well stocked borders, and there is a useful undercroft store, and a decked area - the ideal spot for a table and chair or corner sofa set so one can sit, relax and marvel at the view. 

The sought after village of Horsley boasts a community owned shop, church, 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.
