Description An exciting opportunity to purchase an unspoilt Grade II listed farmhouse, positioned on the edge of Nailsworth with breath- taking rural views across its own extensive grounds and to open countryside beyond. Built in the mid 19th century for Edward Leigh, the builder of well known and historic Park, this detached Grade II listed farmhouse has remained in the same family for over 150 years. It now offers an exciting prospect for any buyer wishing to renovate their dream home.

The property boasts a wealth of history with the farmhouse itself enjoying an abundance of features to include a heavily moulded Tudor arch doorway, mullion windows, a beautiful quatrefoil vent on the projecting gable and a large stone fireplace to mention a few. Accommodation has remained unchanged for many years and still enjoys features such as a large farmhouse larder with stone slabs and original cheese loft. Whilst comprehensive, the house provides a blank canvass and a great opportunity for further development with a former cheese loft, dairy and boot room/utility (which was historically used as a brewery) offering opportunity to be converted into living space, subject to the relevant permissions. As illustrated by the floor-plan these lie to the rear of the farmhouse and thus enjoy the panoramic view. Situation The property is elevated just under a mile from the centre of Nailsworth, a sought-after Cotswold town. The town offers a wide selection of shops, services and restaurants, including delicatessen, florist, craft shops and supermarkets.
