A sprawling nine bedroom mansion is on sale for £1.5m in the heart of Nailsworth.

The imposing five-acre property includes a main house, a detached three bedroom cottage, six living rooms, a coach house and a studio.

The property being sold by Peter Joy Estate Agents benefits from extensive gardens, grounds and nearby woodland, with space for growing and for children to play.

There is a Victorian walled garden and a family garden with access from the sitting room, planted with established trees and shrubs and leading on to a further garden area with stone steps that lead back up to the walled garden.

The woodland extends in a crescent shape behind the cottage, coach house and walled garden.
