Rose Cottage is a Grade II listed ironstone cottage on peaceful Bell Street in Hornton, offering authentic period character and a usable, well-proportioned layout. The sitting room and family room both feature working Clearview wood-burning stoves, exposed beams and wooden floors, creating warm, inviting living spaces. The extended kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility provide practical day-to-day living, with a rear stable door into the garden.
The first floor has three bedrooms and a single family bathroom, arranged off a characterful landing with an exposed arched beam. A detached stone garden room/outbuilding is insulated and wired, ideal as a home office, studio or snug. The south-facing, tiered rear garden is well enclosed by stone walls and fencing, with lawns, planted borders and shingled seating areas to enjoy sun and privacy.
Practical points to note: the cottage’s Grade II listing protects its historic fabric and will restrict alterations, which may complicate extensions or some modernisation work. Parking is on-street only, and there is one ground-floor bathroom serving three bedrooms upstairs. Services are standard (mains water, electricity, drainage); broadband and mobile speeds are average for the area.
This property suits buyers who value character, village life and outdoor space — families seeking proximity to good local schools, or buyers wanting a timeless Cotswold-style cottage with a ready-to-use garden room. It presents immediate comfortable living with scope to update within the constraints of listed status rather than a full renovation project.
