New House
Guide price £650,000
The Property
Set in a pretty Cotswold setting with views over neighbouring rooftops to the countryside beyond, this detached Cotswold stone home blends period charm with modern design. Elevated above the lane, ‘New House’ has been extensively renovated and remodelled by the current owners, offering stylish, immaculately presented accommodation. Though built in recent years, it has all the character of a traditional cottage, enhanced by a full rewire, newly installed double-glazed windows and new heating system with underfloor heating throughout. Steps from the parking area lead up to a tiled, canopied entrance, providing a sheltered spot for the removal of winter boots and a lovely elevated terrace for summer dining. The main door opens into a boot room with bench seating and coat hooks, with a cloakroom just off. This leads into a striking open-plan kitchen and dining room, filled with natural light from dualaspect windows and French doors that open onto the rear garden. The space comfortably accommodates a dining table and casual seating area, making it the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with classic shaker-style units, oak worktops, integrated oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer as well as an undercounter fridge and freezer, alongside open shelving and a plate rack. A contemporary tiled flooring runs throughout, and a full-height cupboard provides excellent storage. A step up leads to a bright, dual-aspect sitting room overlooking the hamlet, with wood panelling and a wood-burning stove creating a cosy yet elegant feel. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two comfortable doubles and a third ideal as a single bedroom or home office—alongside a contemporary family bathroom featuring a bulb shape bath with shower over, a sleek vanity unit, and additional built-in wall storage. The property is served by mains drainage and centrally heated by Calor gas.
Outside
A private front driveway provides off-road parking and leads to an electric charging point and integral garage with a traditional up-and-over door. The garage is plumbed and fitted with a sink, offering potential for use as a workshop, or even a creative studio space, subject to individual needs. Discreetly positioned to the side of the driveway is a large gas tank, which has been neatly screened with attractive panelling to blend with the surroundings. Gated pathways on either side of the house allow secure access to the rear garden, making the outdoor space safe and enclosed—particularly ideal for dog owners. The rear garden itself has been carefully landscaped to create a stylish and low-maintenance environment. Paved throughout and framed by a raised flower border with built-in seating, it offers a lovely and sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden is further enhanced by a variety of mature plants and trees, alongside thoughtfully placed new shrubs that bring colour and texture to this peaceful space.

Situation
Nags Head is located on the edge of the historic Cotswold village of Avening, a peaceful and characterful community nestled between the popular market towns of Nailsworth, Tetbury, and Minchinhampton. Surrounded by rolling countryside and with immediate access to scenic footpaths and bridleways, this location offers an idyllic semi-rural lifestyle without compromising on everyday convenience. Avening itself has a strong village community and is home to a well-regarded primary school, the historic Church of the Holy Cross, and The Bell Inn—a welcoming and traditional pub. The nearby town of Nailsworth (just over 3 miles away) offers a vibrant selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs, and restaurants, as well as a supermarket, post office, and other essential services. Tetbury, approximately 4 miles to the south, is a quintessential Cotswold market town known for its antiques, boutique shops, and excellent dining options. To the north, the attractive hilltop town of Minchinhampton is just under 3 miles away and is well-known for its Common—630 acres of National Trust-managed open grassland, ideal for walking, cycling, and picnicking. The town itself offers a charming mix of local shops, a post office, cafés, and pubs, as well as a golf course and other recreational amenities. For commuters, Kemble Station, around 8 miles away, provides regular direct services to London Paddington in just over an hour. The property also benefits from excellent road connections, with the A419 and M4/M5 motorways providing easy access to Cirencester, Cheltenham, Bristol, and Bath
