Inchbrook House is an imposing Grade II Listed detached country house set at the top of a sweeping pillared drive in an elevated position at Inchbrook. This location, a mile from popular Nailsworth, allows for easy access to the shops and amenities of the town with country walks on the doorstep. Historic England states that the property was first listed in 1980. According to this entry, the original part of the house was built c.1750 and was then extended in 1861. The listing notes Tudor styling, arched windows, ornate carving and detailed dripstones and moulding as architectural features of particular merit. The property has been a happy, multi-generational home for the current owners for some 67 years. It is now in need of renovation, but offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to refurbish a substantial character home to their own taste and style, subject to relevant consent.
There is masses of accommodation on offer here, arranged over four floors. An entrance hall with grand Victorian stone staircase, cloakroom/WC, snug, formal 30’ drawing room, 17’ dining room, 17’ kitchen, greenhouse, utility room, pantry, 20’ games room (which was once the kitchen) and a 16’ studio that opens onto the rear courtyard are on the ground floor. A landing, six bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the first floor, with further accommodation on the second and third floors. This was originally the servants quarters, and is now a self contained space with 13’ kitchen, 13’ sitting room, bedroom and bathroom, with four attic rooms above. Original features have been retained throughout the property, with character and interest everywhere you look. A truly wonderful house – an appointment to view is essential.
The property is approached via an impressive gated driveway that sweeps up to the house. Set within just over three acres of gardens and grounds, the estate offers a mix of formal lawns, a versatile workshop/stable complex, a carport, garage with loft storage, and a charming paved courtyard accessed directly from the studio. The stable and workshop block, positioned to the right of the drive and set slightly below the house, features four loose boxes, a garage, a workshop, and a hay loft above. To the front of the property lies a generous parking area with ample space for multiple vehicles and easy turning, complemented by a secondary gated entrance onto Inchbrook Hill. This additional drive continues around to the rear, where you’ll find a covered store, further garaging with loft storage, and an additional carport.
The formal garden, situated on level ground beneath the house, is bordered by mature specimen trees and apple trees, providing structure and seasonal interest. Beyond this lies the enchanting Woodland Garden, which extends to the north and east of Inchbrook House. Here, mature trees mingle with several practical storage sheds and an original Victorian stone-built pond, adding both character and charm. A private paved terrace positioned behind the house, above the garage, Altogether, this is a wonderfully private setting—an exceptional garden retreat, perfect for families or the keen gardening enthusiast.
The property really does enjoy the best of both worlds - a rural location, but with the shops, amenities and community of Nailsworth just a couple of miles away. Nailsworth has become an increasingly popular shopping destination within the Stroud Valleys benefiting from a large selection of speciality shops including Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, The Yellow Lighted Bookshop, 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 and free parking. Nailsworth is also home to Forest Green Rovers Football Club and there is both state and private schooling within the area. Bus services connect with Stroud, some four 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.
