Detached 19th‑century Cotswold stone cottage on ~0.5 acre
Climperwell Cottage is a handsome 19th‑century Cotswold stone home set in about half an acre of private, terraced gardens and woodland. The property combines period character — exposed stone, two Inglenook fireplaces with wood‑burning stoves — with a contemporary, nearly 28 ft kitchen/breakfast/living space centred on a bespoke kitchen and electric AGA Total Control. Four double bedrooms, a study area and versatile reception rooms give adaptable family accommodation across two floors.
The grounds deliver excellent outdoor living: a sweeping gated driveway, parking, double garage and terraces that adjoin open fields for a secluded rural aspect. A separate outside study/home office and well‑proportioned utility and shower rooms increase everyday practicality. Planning permission was previously granted (ref: 17/01120/FUL) for a boot room, an en‑suite and a remodelled garage to create extra living or work space — useful for a growing family or home‑working needs.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: heating is oil‑fired to radiators, the AGA is electric‑controlled but the main fuel is oil, glazing was installed before 2002 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Mobile signal is reported as none, though broadband speeds are fast. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are straightforward points to factor into ongoing running costs and any renovation plans.
For families seeking privacy, character and generous gardens in a prosperous Cotswold setting, this cottage offers immediate liveability with clear potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning). The mix of high‑quality kitchen fittings and original features makes it a rare find for those wanting a traditional rural home with modern conveniences.
