Green Lane Cottage is a handsome Cotswold stone family home set in a large, private plot in the desirable village of Chedworth. The house marries period character — exposed beams, fireplaces, woodburning stoves and high ceilings — with practical family living across well-proportioned rooms and multiple reception spaces. The farmhouse kitchen opens onto a south-west facing patio and surrounding lawns, creating a natural hub for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged over several levels and will suit families who value separate living zones: kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and a sitting room with a sunny aspect. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en suite; a further two double bedrooms and family bathroom sit on the first floor, with a guest bedroom and en suite on the second floor. Garage access is at the bottom of the garden.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains electricity and water, oil-fired boiler with radiators, and private drainage. The house was built before 1900 and walls are traditional stone with no assumed insulation layer, so prospective buyers should allow for period maintenance and potential upgrading (insulation, services or energy efficiency improvements) to suit modern expectations. Council tax is noted as expensive and the plot’s size brings ongoing upkeep responsibilities.
Set in an affluent rural area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the house provides easy access to local schools, country pursuits, pubs and nearby towns including Cheltenham, Cirencester and Northleach. This is a strong choice for buyers seeking a characterful family cottage with generous grounds and scope to enhance energy performance and interior finishes over time.
