A roomy three-bedroom end-of-terrace with an expansive loft room and a generous corner garden, well suited to a growing family seeking space in Northleach. The plot wraps around the house, providing lawn, vegetable/planting potential and off-street parking for multiple vehicles. An outbuilding with power and lighting offers practical storage or workshop space.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating (boiler and radiators) and an EPC rating of E, so buyers should expect heating costs and possible energy-efficiency improvements. The property was formerly local authority housing and is sold with a restrictive covenant (S.157 Housing Act 1985): purchasers usually need local authority consent, with automatic consent for those who have lived and worked in Gloucestershire or the Cotswolds AONB for the past three years. This requirement can affect purchase timelines and eligibility.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen/dining room, dual-aspect living room, three first-floor bedrooms, family bathroom and a large loft room above. The home dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002; some updating is likely worthwhile to unlock full potential and improve energy performance.
For buyers wanting space near the Cotswolds, this home offers a rare combination of plot size, parking and flexible accommodation close to well-regarded local schools and town amenities. Be prepared for the covenant process and for planned spending on energy and cosmetic improvements to personalise the house and reduce running costs.
