Chain-free Victorian cottage with strong holiday-let income and a generous garden near Bourton High Street.
No onward chain; offered at £475,000
Located a short walk from Bourton-on-the-Water’s High Street, this two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage combines period charm with proven holiday-let income. The property extends to about 1,005 sq ft across three floors and currently operates successfully as a five-adult holiday let, offering immediate revenue for an investor or a turnkey holiday base for an owner-occupier. A bright conservatory opens onto a generous rear garden with two sheds and a chalet-style store, useful for storage or guest facilities.
The interior retains character features — a bay window, exposed beams, fireplace and wooden floors — and includes a practical kitchen with dual ovens plus a cloakroom on the ground floor. The second-floor principal bedroom is notably large and can take a king-size bed and a single; the first-floor bedroom and modern family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. Off-street parking for one car is a helpful village convenience.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the house is mid-terrace, constructed before 1900 in stone with walls assumed uninsulated, and has relatively low ceilings in parts. Flooding risk is assessed as medium and the EPC rating is D. Some cosmetic updating or insulation improvements would likely be needed to maximise long-term energy efficiency and resilience.
Offered chain-free at £475,000, the cottage suits investors seeking continued short-term letting income, couples or downsizers wanting a village base, or buyers aiming to update a period property in a very affluent Cotswold location. Fixtures and furnishings are available by separate negotiation, allowing continuity for the current holiday business if desired.
