Set down a peaceful country lane, this substantial detached cottage offers roomy family living and far-reaching open views across surrounding farmland. The property sits on circa 0.34 acres with mature planting, an orchard, a double garage, off-street parking and a useful detached studio/home office — plenty of outdoor space for children and pets to roam. The living layout includes a dual-aspect lounge with fireplace, dining room, study, fitted kitchen with island and utility, giving flexible reception space for family life.
Upstairs are four generous bedrooms including a dual-aspect principal room with en-suite, plus a family bathroom and useful built-in storage. Practical features include UPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators. The plot feels private, backing onto farmland on three sides, and benefits from easy access to M5 J14 for commuting to Gloucester and Bristol.
The cottage retains character stonework and period proportions but requires some updating. Garden areas are somewhat overgrown and will need maintenance or landscaping to restore easy enjoyment of the grounds. The external walls appear to be granite/whinstone with no obvious insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. Oil heating and an older building fabric mean running costs and maintenance should be considered, and council tax is noted as expensive.
Ideal for families seeking a roomy rural home with scope to personalise, this property will particularly suit buyers who value land, privacy and countryside outlooks and who are prepared to invest time and budget into garden restoration and internal updating. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, plot and outlook in person.
