Secluded period cottage in central Upton — characterful, compact and ideal for first-time buyers or a holiday let.
Secluded central location accessed by gated pathway
Hidaway Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom cottage tucked away behind a gated pathway in the heart of Upton-upon-Severn. The vaulted sitting room with exposed beams and a cast-iron wood burner gives immediate period charm, while the contemporary kitchen and convenient layout make the home move-in ready for a first-time buyer or a low-maintenance holiday let.
The ground floor flows from sitting room to kitchen, cloakroom and dining room, with all rooms opening onto a small courtyard garden — ideal for outdoor dining and easy upkeep but limited for large-scale gardening. Two first-floor bedrooms and a practical bathroom complete the accommodation within an efficient 684 sq ft footprint.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the building is of solid pre‑1900 brick construction and likely has limited wall insulation; the EPC is graded E; and the property sits in an area with above‑average recorded crime. These factors affect running costs and may need attention if planning long-term refurbishment or full-time residency.
For someone seeking a stylish starter home, a weekend retreat close to festivals and riverside life, or a compact holiday-let/investment in a lively market town, this cottage offers immediate character, good local amenities and straightforward central heating and double glazing. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the secluded access and town-centre convenience.
