Spacious three-level home with flexible lower-ground annexe potential.
Panoramic Golden Valley views from balcony
Perched on Ruardean Hill with sweeping views over the Golden Valley, this deceptively spacious three-storey cottage offers flexible living across approximately 1,174 sq ft. The property combines period character with recent energy upgrades — solar panels and an air-source heat pump — while still retaining potential to personalise the interior. Its basement provides semi-independent space suitable for a home office, annexe or holiday-let income.
Practical positives include two bathrooms, a balcony to enjoy the outlook, off‑street parking and a rear garden with decking and shed. The house is freehold, has double glazing fitted since 2002 and is in a low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note some important items: the main heating fuel is oil with a boiler and radiators listed as primary, the original stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, and internal areas will likely benefit from cosmetic updating. These factors affect running costs and potential retrofit work but also create scope for value-adding improvements.
This home will suit buyers who prize elevated rural views and energy-conscious features, and who are happy to complete internal modernisation. It also has genuine rental or holiday-let potential thanks to the split-level layout and parking.
