A charming detached Cotswold stone lodge dating from circa 1850, The Lodge combines original Victorian character with practical daily living. High ceilings, stone mullion windows and a gabled porch give strong period appeal, while a conservatory and south‑westerly garden provide sun and a private outdoor room. The property sits within easy walking distance of Stow’s market square and local amenities.
Internally the layout is straightforward: two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs; two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, cloakroom and utility/garage access on the ground floor. The bedrooms benefit from particularly generous ceiling heights. A single garage and gravel parking space add useful storage and off‑street parking for town centre living.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the later single‑storey extension is built in painted brick under a flat roof and may need ongoing maintenance; the property has double glazing fitted before 2002 and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The heating is mains gas boiler with radiators and there is one bathroom, which may be a consideration for some households. Council Tax Band E reflects above‑average running costs for the area.
In short, this is a characterful, well‑located home that will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a handsome period property close to Stow’s amenities. It offers immediate charm and comfortable living, with scope for modest updating and energy improvements where desired.
