A picturesque Grade II listed thatched cottage with deep historic character, set within easy walking distance of Bishops Cleeve high street, doctors and pharmacy. The house offers generous living space across multiple levels (circa 1,750 sq ft) including a large living room, sunroom and a kitchen/diner that opens to the mature rear garden.
Practical highlights include a driveway and single garage, recent works to the thatch ridge and targeted repairs to extend the roof’s lifespan, gas central heating via boiler and double glazing. The layout suits families who value character: three bedrooms upstairs and a downstairs WC. Note the third bedroom is only accessible through the main first-floor bedroom.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate planning or modernisation. The timber-frame construction appears to lack insulation (assumed) and may need upgrading for energy efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive and thatched properties typically carry higher insurance and ongoing maintenance costs.
This home suits buyers seeking period charm and a rural-village location within a very affluent area. It is offered chain-free, giving a straightforward route to purchase for those prepared to work within the constraints and upkeep requirements of a historic thatched dwelling.
