Oakley House is a commanding Grade II-listed Georgian country house with approximately 6,000 sq ft of principal accommodation set in circa 2.4 acres of gardens and grounds. The home offers six reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, many original features (sash windows, high ceilings, open fireplaces) and numerous cosy corners that suit family life and entertaining. Elevated valley views and mature lawns, an orchard and a brick greenhouse are standout outdoor assets.
The property has been tastefully enhanced but presently needs further updating and renovation to bring services and finishes fully up to modern standards. The lower ground floor is currently used for storage but presents clear potential for conversion to additional living accommodation, subject to listed‑building constraints and any necessary consents. There is lapsed planning permission for a substantial new house on the former tennis court plot (Ref. S.09/1935/FUL), which may interest buyers wanting a development opportunity — subject to revalidation and listed‑building considerations.
Buyers should be aware of the material constraints: listed status will require specialist consent for many changes, the EPC rating is F and the house will benefit from fabric and energy upgrades (stone walls likely uninsulated). Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is Band G and running costs for a building of this size and age should be factored in.
Set in a well‑served part of the Nailsworth Valley, the house sits within a village with a strong primary school and easy access to Stroud, Nailsworth and Cheltenham. For a family seeking a large, characterful home with substantial grounds and the scope to modernise, Oakley House offers rarity and flexibility; for those seeking a turn‑key property, significant renovation will be required.
