Corner Cottage

Set in the heart of Nailsworth, Corner Cottage is a detached period cottage that embodies everything the Cotswolds does best: character, warmth, and a setting that simply stops you in your tracks.

A south-facing front courtyard, screened from the lane by a high picket fence, sets the tone immediately: raised beds, a log store, and generous space to entertain outdoors. Inside, a full-length living-dining room with inglenook fireplace, woodburning stove and original wooden floorboards delivers exactly what the cosiness of a period cottage promises, but rarely achieves. The kitchen, a sympathetic modern extension, opens directly to the courtyard through double patio doors, flooding the space with light and drawing the outside in.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor reveals a genuinely special principal bedroom with exposed Cotswold stone and original roof timbers, alongside a further generous room equally suited as a fourth bedroom, home office or dressing room.

Nailsworth is one of those towns that earns genuine loyalty. Nestled in a steep Cotswold valley, it has long attracted those seeking a place with real character, a strong community and a distinctly independent spirit, anchored by Williams Food Hall, Hobbs House Bakery, Wilder's celebrated tasting menu restaurant, and a thoughtful collection of boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants that punch well above the town's size. A regular farmers' market and a thriving annual arts festival draw visitors from across the region, cementing its reputation as one of the Cotswolds' most culturally alive small towns.

Watledge backs directly onto over 600 acres of National Trust common land, with Minchinhampton Common, Rodborough Common and Woodchester Park all within easy reach. Three golf courses at Minchinhampton serve those who prefer their countryside in fairways, and the legendary Winstones Ice Cream is just up the hill.
