Longfords Mill, Minchinhampton GL6

2 The Dye House is a spectacular property situated in one of the area’s most desirable locations, enjoying beautiful surroundings within this unique waterside setting. The site comprises a blend of sympathetically restored Grade II Listed dwellings and high quality contemporary homes, all constructed using traditional materials to complement the character of the development. Adjoining Gatcombe Water, the property also benefits from beautiful views towards Gatcombe Park, home of the Princess Royal.

Arranged over two floors, the spacious accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq ft and is filled with natural light, enhanced by impressive, vaulted ceilings throughout the principal living spaces. You are welcomed into a grand reception hall with limestone floor and striking central oak staircase rising to the first floor. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect with deep window sill, two double wardrobes, bespoke shelving, and an exposed stone arch feature wall. The en-suite comprises a bath, separate shower, concealed WC, vanity unit, and rear window. Bedroom two, currently used as a study, benefits from floor to ceiling windows, fitted cupboards and shelving, an exposed stone wall, and a built-in double wardrobe. Bedrooms three and four are both generous doubles overlooking the rear, one with a triple wardrobe and the other with built-in cupboards. A shower room, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The first floor offers two breathtaking vaulted rooms filled with natural light and enjoying stunning lake views. The impressive 28’ sitting room features engineered oak flooring, bespoke cabinetry, a central gas log burning stove, and a large walk-in storage cupboard. The kitchen/dining room is equally impressive with vaulted ceilings and picturesque views across the lake. It is fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces, a Rangemaster dual-fuel cooker, central island with breakfast seating, and an exposed stone feature wall.

To the front of the property is off road parking for one vehicle, alongside a lawned garden, decked seating area, evergreen planting, and a mature lilac tree. An additional parking space and secure locked storeroom are located to the side. To the rear, two balconies lead directly from the sitting room and kitchen, both enjoying stunning views across the lake. They provide the perfect setting for relaxing, al fresco dining, and entertaining while taking in the tranquil waterside surroundings.

The Longfords Mill development can be found on the outskirts of the popular town of Nailsworth. Nailsworth is home to many independent businesses, selling everything from artisan bread, meat and fish to stationery, fashion and handmade jewellery. Nestling at the bottom of steep wooded hills, Nailsworth is now an attractive and vibrant shopping destination, with a large selection of interesting speciality shops and cafes, including the famous Williams Food Hall and Hobbs House Bakery. It is a quirky and friendly town, with a good selection of restaurants, as well as three supermarkets, a regular farmers’ market and a ‘green’ football club. Nailsworth is well positioned for both town and country. Climb the steep ‘W’ hill out of town and you find yourself on acres of stunning National Trust common land, home to a prestigious golf course. The town is also on the doorstep of beautiful Woodchester Park, with miles of woodland walks and secluded lakes. Yet just four miles away is Stroud, with more comprehensive shopping, educational and leisure facilities, connected by bus services. 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.
