Set on the edge of Whiteshill with gated access and a large gravel driveway, this detached cottage blends countryside calm with everyday convenience. The ground floor offers flexible living: a light-filled sitting room with French doors to the garden, a generous dining kitchen with walk-in pantry, and a separate utility with adjoining guest bedroom and cloakroom – useful for multigenerational living or home-working. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor, served by a four-piece family bathroom and a bright landing.
The landscaped rear garden is a standout: a dining terrace, sweeping lawn, productive vegetable patch with greenhouse, established planting and far-reaching valley views. The plot is large and private, bordered by dry stone walls and mature trees, and offers scope to extend (planning ref S.23/1427/HHOLD granted July 2023).
Practical points: the house totals about 994 sq ft (92 sq m), is freehold, in a very low-crime, very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It’s an easy drive to Stroud and Gloucester and near well-rated local schools, so it suits families seeking rural lifestyle with commuter links. Council tax is above average.
Notable considerations: the property is an average internal size for three bedrooms – buyers wanting larger internal spaces should note the footprint and consider the granted extension if additional space is essential. The layout is traditional rather than open-plan, and while well-maintained and landscaped, scope for modernisation exists depending on buyer taste.
