Set in a semi-rural pocket near Berkeley, this beautifully restored four-bedroom cottage offers flexible family living across three floors with striking countryside views. The owners have blended period features — exposed beams, brick fireplace and timber panelling — with a modern open-plan farmhouse kitchen and bi-fold doors that open to a large, private garden and decked entertaining area.
Ground-floor living is practical and sociable: a sitting room with log burner, an adjacent dining/breakfast kitchen with central island and integrated appliances, plus a utility/cloakroom. The first-floor principal suite has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite cloakroom, with two further double bedrooms on the upper floor that suit children, guests or home working. Natural light and outlooks are a consistent strength throughout the house.
The plot is a major asset — a gated, block-paved driveway with parking for three, extensive lawns, mature trees, summerhouse, entertaining terrace, brick BBQ and a chicken pen. The generous outside space gives scope for play, gardening or further landscaping and suits families wanting room to roam close to countryside.
Practical points: the home is heated by an oil boiler and has an external oil tank, so running costs and future fuel arrangements should be considered. External walls are assumed to be solid brick with no known insulation, so adding wall insulation could be a worthwhile improvement. The property lies on a busy road frontage and local crime levels are recorded as above average; buyers should review local safety and traffic considerations. Freehold tenure, no flood risk, and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
