Summary - Fern Cottage, Alkerton, Eastington, STONEHOUSE GL10 3AA
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Tucked-away village home with flexible garden room and rustic charm.
Two double bedrooms with generous master featuring exposed brick and beams
Fern Cottage is a characterful two-bedroom period end-terrace tucked away in Alkerton village, offering rustic charm and practical living over two floors. Inside, reclaimed wood floors, exposed brickwork and working open coal fireplace create a warm cottage feel, while the kitchen/diner and generous master bedroom provide comfortable everyday space. The detached, bespoke garden room with power and a composting WC adds flexible accommodation for a home office, studio or occasional guest use.
The rear outside space is planted and sheltered by mature trees, useful for gardening and outdoor relaxation. Note the published data lists a very small plot size, so the outdoor area is manageable rather than extensive; prospective buyers should view to judge garden scale. The property is solid brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and the double glazing installation date is unknown — there is potential benefit from upgrading insulation and energy efficiency.
Practical points to check during purchase include the advised flying freehold over the neighbouring dwelling and the above-average local crime rate. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and there is no flood risk. The village location places services, primary school and amenities close by, with good road links to Stroud and Gloucester, making this cottage well suited to a small family or couple wanting village life with flexible extra space.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the cottage’s character, the adaptable garden room and to assess the property’s energy and maintenance needs. While the house carries genuine period appeal, buyers should factor in possible insulation and glazing improvements and investigate the flying freehold implications through their legal advisor.
