A distinctive Cotswold stone cottage in the heart of Eastleach, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupancy. The Grade II-listed house dates from 1875 and retains period features such as mullion windows, a traditional fireplace and a wood-burning stove, while offering comfortable living across two reception rooms and two double bedrooms. The property extends to about 1,027 sq ft and sits in a generous plot with lawns, wildflower areas and a sunny paved terrace.
This is an appealing home for downsizers or buyers seeking a peaceful village life: it lies within the conservation area and backs onto quiet countryside, yet has fast broadband and reasonable access to local centres such as Burford and Cirencester. Practical points to note include oil-fired heating (new boiler recently installed), no gas connection, one bathroom and an EPC exemption due to listed status.
Because the cottage is Grade II listed, any structural or alteration work will require listed-building consent and may be more costly or restricted. The occupier is also responsible for keeping the village clock in working order — a local obligation tied to Number 44. There is a medium flood risk for the location; prospective buyers should make their own enquiries with the local authority and insurers.
Council Tax is in band E (2025/26 charge £2,750.41) and the property is freehold. Overall, this is a characterful, well-situated cottage with substantial outdoor space and genuine period charm, best suited to buyers who value heritage, village life and a large private garden, and who accept the constraints and responsibilities that come with listed ownership.
