Summary - WISHBONE COTTAGE MILTON STREET FAIRFORD GL7 4BN
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming one-bedroom cottage backing onto meadows, ideal first home or downsizer.
Period stone mid-terrace with exposed beams and stone chimney
A traditional Cotswold stone cottage sitting mid-terrace on Milton Street, backing onto meadows with views toward St Mary’s and the River Coln. The house retains period character including exposed beams and a dressed stone chimney breast, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed since 2002. The layout is compact and straightforward: entrance lobby, cosy sitting room, fitted kitchen and a first-floor double bedroom with a modern shower room.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking character and a low-maintenance garden in a very affluent, low-crime town. The small enclosed courtyard is private and backs onto open meadows, offering a pleasant outlook and a sense of space despite the modest plot. Council Tax band B and EPC C (71) help keep running costs reasonable.
Practical considerations are clear: total floorspace is about 474 sq ft with small room sizes and limited external parking. The property was built before 1900 with stone walls assumed uninsulated — there is scope to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. There is a medium flood risk for the area; buyers should check insurance and local flood history.
Offered with vacant possession, this cottage is ready to occupy but will reward sympathetic updating to maximise comfort and value. Its location in Fairford places shops, good schools and local amenities within easy reach, with Cirencester and Swindon within comfortable driving distance.
