This extended Cotswold stone cottage sits in the heart of Winchcombe and is offered freehold with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or couple seeking character and a town-centre base. The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room with a woodburner and exposed stone, a separate dining room with flagstone flooring, and a kitchen that flows directly to a private terrace and sheltered rear garden.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms with built-in cupboards and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing installed after 2002, fibre broadband availability and excellent mobile signal — practical, everyday advantages in a popular Cotswold town. The plot is small and the internal footprint is compact (approximately 712 sq ft), so the layout suits a single household or someone downsizing from a larger home.
Notable considerations are pragmatic: the cottage is a pre-1900 stone-built property with assumed uninsulated stone walls, so heating and insulation improvements may be desirable to improve comfort and running costs. The listing records electric storage heaters as the main heating, while additional details reference a combi boiler installed in 2025; buyers should verify the heating system and service records. Rooms are modest in size and standard modernisation or refurbishment will likely be needed in places.
Set on a quiet town street near local shops, an ‘Outstanding’ primary school and the Cotswold Way, the cottage offers immediate character and location benefits with room to add value through sympathetic upgrades. For buyers wanting period charm, a small private garden and low purchase friction (no chain), this property is a realistic, affordable entry into Winchcombe.
