Summary - THE OLD BAKERY HARTLEY BRIDGE HORSLEY STROUD GL6 0QB
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family home with separate annexe and large private gardens.
Cotswold stone cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
The Old Bakery is a picturesque Cotswold stone cottage with five bedrooms plus a self-contained annexe, set in very large gardens with far-reaching rural views. Built in the early 1700s and extended in the 1970s and 2010, the house blends original character — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and oak porch — with generous modern living spaces such as a 29' open-plan kitchen/dining room and an 18' sitting room.
The property will suit families or multi-generational households seeking countryside life close to Nailsworth and local schools. The annexe with its own entrance offers flexible use as guest accommodation, independent living or potential rental income. Practical features include ample gravelled off-street parking, useful utility and pantry spaces, a productive vegetable patch and a private terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the stone walls are of traditional construction with no known added insulation, heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler and the council tax band is described as expensive. There is scope to improve energy efficiency (insulation, glazing upgrade timing unknown) and to formalise additional parking or a garage on uncultivated land (subject to planning permission).
Overall this is a well-loved, characterful country home offering immediate liveability and clear potential to enhance comfort and running costs through targeted improvements. Its location, generous plot and separate annexe make it an attractive proposition for family living, working from home, or part-income generation.
