Summary - 1 Ampneyfield Cottages, Ampney Crucis, CIRENCESTER GL7 5EA
Detached period cottage with later rear extension
Set in the hamlet of Ampney Crucis, this detached period cottage offers three bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, and a later rear extension. The house sits on a large plot with generous rear gardens, off-street parking for three cars and a timber store — ideal for families seeking space and privacy in a rural setting. The property is offered with no onward chain for a straightforward sale.
The cottage retains traditional stone character beneath a Cotswold slate roof, but also shows clear scope for updating. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity is connected; the cottage has private drainage and double glazing installed post-2002. Note the EPC rating of E (44) and assumed solid stone walls with no built-in insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency would improve comfort and running costs.
Buyers should be aware of a medium flooding risk and modest internal proportions: rooms and ceilings are generally small and some areas have low ceiling heights. Council Tax Band D applies (2025/26 charge £2,160.66). These are practical considerations for those planning long-term family occupation or refurbishment.
For the right buyer this is a peaceful, characterful home with scope to enhance energy performance and expand living spaces subtly. The large garden and parking make it a usable rural family home now, with clear potential to add value through sympathetic modernisation.
