This split-level two-bedroom apartment occupies the first and second floors of a handsome Victorian mixed-use building on Nailsworth’s Fountain Street. Spacious rooms, high ceilings and a large bay-front sitting room give the flat a strong sense of period character and light; the principal bedroom mirrors the reception room in scale. At around 1,026 sq ft it’s unusually generous for a town-centre flat and comes with its own street entrance.
The layout is practical: a roomy kitchen/dining area sits on the main floor with stairs up to two bedrooms and a centrally positioned bathroom. Double glazing was fitted after 2002 and the 112-year lease remaining plus low ground rent (circa £50) are positive ownership details. The town’s independent shops, cafés and good nearby schools make this a well-connected and lively location, with Stroud and mainline stations within easy reach.
Important facts: the apartment needs renovation throughout, heating is via electric storage heaters, the building has solid brick walls with no known insulation, and there is no private garden or external amenity. The area records above-average crime and a medium flood risk — both matters to consider when budgeting for works, insurance and future living costs.
For a buyer willing to invest in updating, this property offers scope to create a roomy, characterful home or a town-centre let with strong local demand. The size, central position and long lease provide a sound platform; plan for refurbishment costs and consider specialist advice on insulation and electric-heating upgrades before committing.
