A Grade II listed cottage dating to 1763, this four-bedroom semi offers layered period character in the heart of Ashton Keynes. Original features — dressed stone walls, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove — combine with practical upgrades such as a bespoke Parlour Farm kitchen, granite worktops and electric underfloor heating in the kitchen. The house sits discreetly behind mature hedging with gated gravel parking and a lawned garden, ideal for family outdoor time and safe play.
The layout is flexible: three reception rooms provide formal and informal living plus a home office/snug, while two staircases lead to three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Living space is generous across approximately 1,828 sq ft, including a useful large storage/attic area. Proximity to the Cotswold Water Park, local sailing and walking routes and highly regarded village primary school make this a strong choice for families who want countryside lifestyle with convenient access to Swindon and Kemble.
Important practical points are upfront: listed status means alterations will be constrained and may require consents; the building is sandstone with assumed limited insulation in walls; the main heating is an oil-fired boiler; and council tax sits above average. While the house feels well cared for, any buyer should budget for ongoing maintenance and check glazing and insulation if improving energy efficiency is a priority.
For a family seeking a historic, characterful home close to outdoor leisure and good village schooling, this cottage combines authenticity with ready-to-enjoy living spaces. It will particularly reward buyers who appreciate heritage fabric and are prepared for the responsibilities that come with listed ownership.
