Quintessential village cottage — low maintenance and great countryside access.
Cotswold stone cottage with exposed beams and traditional character
1 Tinkley Lane is a mid-terraced Cotswold stone cottage in the heart of picturesque Nympsfield, offering authentic period character and easy village living. The compact, flexible layout across two floors gives two/three bedroom potential and simple, low-maintenance outdoor space – ideal for someone wanting a lock-and-leave home or a manageable downsizing move.
Inside, original features such as exposed beams and a cast-iron log burner give character and warmth, while double glazing (fitted post-2002) helps with comfort. The property sits close to countryside walks, local amenities including a pub and primary school, and has excellent mobile signal; Nailsworth and Stroud are a short drive away for wider shopping and rail links.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the cottage is heated by an oil boiler with radiators and has very slow broadband speeds. Thick stone walls are attractive but likely uninsulated, and the small external space means there’s no substantial garden. The footprint is modest with one bathroom, so prospective buyers should consider whether more living space or faster internet connectivity is required.
Overall this is a characterful, affordable Cotswold cottage (freehold) for someone seeking village life with minimal outside upkeep, or an investor targeting holiday lets or long-term rental in a sought-after rural location. Be mindful of potential improvement costs for insulation, broadband upgrades and any period-property maintenance.
