Nestled in the Coln valley, this two-bedroom Cotswold stone cottage combines authentic period character with a generous, private garden. Exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a vaulted attic bedroom deliver the rustic features buyers seek in a village retreat. The layout is traditional and compact, spread over three floors, making it ideal for a small family, couple or someone seeking a countryside second home.
The garden is a standout asset: mature lawns, a stone store and a versatile garden room at the far end create room for outdoor living, home working or a studio. A rear courtyard provides direct access from the kitchen/breakfast room and links neatly to the storage outbuilding. The property sits in a sought-after, affluent village with good local schools and basic amenities within walking distance.
Buyers should note this is a period cottage with typical conservation-era limitations. Heating is oil-fired to radiators and the property has an EPC rating of D (64). The stone walls are likely uninsulated and ceilings in some rooms are low, which may mean higher running costs and scope for sensitive upgrading rather than full modernisation. Access between floors uses a winding staircase and attic access is characterful but compact.
Overall this freehold terraced cottage offers genuine Cotswold charm and a rare garden in a desirable village setting. It will particularly suit buyers who value character and outdoor space and who are prepared to invest in sympathetic improvements to enhance comfort and energy performance.
