Description
This exemplary Palladian mansion occupies a convivial spot on the cusp of the thriving market town of Nailsworth and is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Believed to have origins dating back to the mid 17th Century the house was largely extended and renovated into the stunning house it is today, by John Cooper, an eminent local business man and wool merchant in the early 18th Century, including the incredible Georgian facade. John Cooper was the then owner of Dunkirk Mills (now apartments) and made his fortune supplying wool and uniforms for the French Wars.
The property displays many of the fine feature one would expect in a house of this quality and provenance, including superb proportions, high ceilings, open fires and lovely light, due in part to its plethora of windows and west facing façade.
The formal reception rooms are a wonderful example of this building period with double aspect windows displaying views over the garden, generous ceilings and exceptional period detail.
There is a hugely flexible layout with ample spaces and configurations for all needs. The rear and side of the house are the oldest elements, dating from the mid 17th Century and enjoy charming features such as mullion windows, plinths and window drips. There is a unique rear internal courtyard.
The upper floors have an unusually generous bedroom/bathroom layout for a Grade ll* house as well as an independent apartment ideal for live in help or family.
Outside
The house has an enviable position on the cusp of the market town of Nailsworth. It enjoys good privacy and exceptional views over the valley below.
The gardens have been well landscaped and provide a low maintenance ornamental style garden which can be enjoyed from the many windows of the house. There are an array of mature trees mixed with shrubs and terraced lawns.
Parking is provided via gated access to the rear parking area with space for numerous cars.
Situation
The property is situated in a rural country lane at Theescombe, Amberley. Surely one of the area's very best addresses, Amberley has a community run shop, a well regarded primary school and neighbouring pre school, a good pub and hundreds of acres of National trust land of Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons on the doorstep. The thriving market town of Nailsworth is a popular artistic and culinary hub which boasts popular restaurant Wild Garlic, and two multi-award-winning delicatessens William’s Food Hall & Oyster Bar and Hobbs House Bakery.
Additional offerings can be found in nearby Tetbury, famous for its lovely stone streets and antique shops, and in Stroud which has an excellent Farmers Market. Further afield Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham each have a wide range of speciality shops as well as theatres, restaurants and cultural amenities.
There are endless walking routes in the idyllic surrounding countryside and plenty of sporting opportunities. There is an equestrian centre in Barton End and world class eventing at Badminton. There are also a number of golf courses in the area, including the highly regarded courses at Minchinhampton.
For those needing to travel there is good access to the M4 at Junction 17 and Kemble Station which offers intercity services to London, Paddington (scheduled to take about 75 minutes).
