Set in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold’s picturesque Square, Little Elms is a Grade II listed Cotswold townhouse that has traded successfully as a holiday let since 2016. The south-facing facade and 12-pane sash windows give the house strong kerb appeal and a classic period character attractive to holiday guests and second-home buyers. The property is offered freehold with an attractive vaulted cellar and a versatile ground-floor kitchen/dining space designed for modern short‑stay use.
For investors the house presents proven income potential from short-term lets and benefits from an enviable, walkable location close to cafes, shops and transport links. The compact layout across multiple floors—entrance, kitchen/diner, sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room—maximises lettable beds and privacy for guests. Excellent mobile signal supports remote check‑in and digital lettings management.
Buyers should note material considerations associated with historic buildings. Listing status will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance costs; stone walls have no assumed insulation and some services/appliances are unverified. Broadband speeds are slow, and there is an area of flying freehold to be aware of in title documents. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission building surveys, check the listing consent requirements and review accounts if purchasing for investment.
Overall, Little Elms suits purchasers seeking a central Cotswold pied-à-terre, an income-producing holiday home, or a character-rich second residence. It offers immediate occupancy and short‑term rental readiness, balanced by the predictable upkeep and regulatory limits of a listed property.
