This well-maintained two-bedroom Victorian cottage offers period character and straightforward living close to Cinderford town centre. The layout is traditional: a cosy living room with feature fireplace, separate dining room opening to the private south-facing garden, fitted kitchen, and a modern bathroom. Upstairs are two good double bedrooms. Heating is mains gas with a Worcester Bosch combi boiler and radiators, providing efficient hot water and central heating.
The house sits on a small, low-maintenance plot with a block-paved seating area, lawn and a summer house plus a block-built shed with lighting. The outbuildings present practical storage and a realistic home-office conversion opportunity, though the shed has single-glazed windows. The property is freehold, has double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of D—reasonable for its age but worth noting for buyers concerned about energy costs.
Built around 1900 in sandstone/limestone, the cottage has authentic period features and charm but also some fabric limitations. External walls are assumed uninsulated, and the glazing is older double glazing; upgrading insulation and windows would improve comfort and running costs. Crime in the immediate area is above average, but local amenities, good mobile signal and fast broadband make the location convenient for day-to-day life.
This home suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a character cottage with potential to add value through targeted improvements. Council tax is low (Band A), and the property is offered as a freehold with straightforward access to schools, shops and transport links in Cinderford.
