Summary - Cowdell Cottage, Caudle Green GL53 9PR
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious garden and full renovation potential in a peaceful hilltop hamlet.
Detached Cotswold stone cottage with three bedrooms
Set on an elevated Cotswold hamlet green, Cowdell Cottage is a traditional stone, three-bedroom detached home offering generous garden and period character. Light fills the large sitting room with its stone-surround fireplace, while the kitchen/breakfast room with oil-fired Rayburn provides a classic country heart to the house. The property's size and layout suit a family or someone seeking a countryside retreat with scope to personalise.
The house requires complete modernisation: the roof needs repair and internal finishes are dated. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators with a working Rayburn; glazing is secondary and walls are likely uninsulated, so upgrading energy performance will be a key part of any renovation. There is a temporary WC in the porch that will need proper reinstatement.
Practical considerations include a shared septic tank (neighbour-owned) with an 1/8th cost contribution, restrictive covenants preventing garages/carports and limiting vehicle height, and gravelled parking for one car only. Broadband is fast (Gigaclear point nearby) and mobile signal is excellent externally. The sale is offered with no onward chain, giving potential buyers immediate control to begin works.
For buyers comfortable with a full refurbishment project, this cottage presents strong upside: sizeable private gardens, attractive Cotswold stone elevations, period features, and an elevated village location near good local primary schools and countryside walking. Budget for structural and energy upgrades, septic arrangements and roof repair when assessing overall cost.
