Rock Cottage is an elegant, newly renovated Grade II listed Cotswold house occupying an elevated position with sweeping village and countryside views. The 2022–23 refurbishment retained period character—exposed sandstone, high ceilings and feature fireplaces—while adding contemporary comforts such as solar slate roof tiles, EV charging and a high-spec kitchen with Everhot range. The property extends to about 2,593 sq ft and sits within very large, professionally landscaped gardens with terraces, a barbecue area and direct access to a public footpath.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes a generous principal suite with dressing room and en suite, a guest bedroom with en suite, two double eaves bedrooms and flexible ancillary space above the detached double garage that is well suited to a home office or annexe. The layout emphasises light and views through large picture windows, Crittall glazing and a timber-framed conservatory breakfast area.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a utility/wet zone with wine cooler, two electric car charging points and a feed-in tariff from the solar roof tiles. The plot’s size and terraced landscaping provide privacy and multiple outdoor living areas, including a sunken trampoline terrace with glass balustrade and productive raised beds.
Important constraints are straightforward: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; previously approved planning consent for an enlarged conservatory has lapsed and would need reinstating; the property is in a high-crime-statistics area and council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should factor listed-building responsibilities and potential planning processes into their plans despite the high specification and exceptional setting.
