A Grade II listed Tudor cottage set on a very large, private 0.8-acre plot in Down Hatherley. The detached three-bedroom house retains period features — exposed beams, large open fireplace and original character — and is offered chain free, appealing to buyers seeking a long-term family home in a semi-rural village. Accommodation totals approximately 1,377 sq ft across a traditional layout with a kitchen, dining room, open-plan lounge/reception, large landing, three double bedrooms and one family bathroom.
The plot is a standout asset: wrap-around gardens, orchard, pond and off-street parking accessed via a private driveway, backing onto protected ridge-and-furrow fields for added seclusion. The location combines countryside calm with easy access to the M5 and both Cheltenham and Gloucester, and local schools include several well-rated options.
Important practical points: the property needs substantial renovation and modernisation. Listed status will restrict alterations and likely complicate works and approvals. The building appears to be solid-brick with little or no cavity or wall insulation, the glazing is older double glazing (installed pre-2002), and there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms. Council Tax Band E applies and local recorded crime is above average. Buyers should budget for conservation-consultant fees and listed-building compliant repair costs.
This house suits buyers wanting to preserve and restore period character — either as a family home with extensive outdoor space or as a sensitive refurbishment project. It offers significant potential, but practical commitment and respect for listed-building constraints are essential.
