This Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage combines authentic period character with a substantial, modern rear extension. Imaginative refurbishment has retained features such as inglenook fireplaces and exposed timbers while creating light, usable living space including a generous garden room facing open countryside.
Arranged over three floors, the house provides four bedrooms, two bathrooms and flexible living areas. The principal bedroom has an en-suite; two second-floor bedrooms are reached via separate staircases. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a private garden backing directly onto fields and Dowdeswell Woods – a rare, uninterrupted rural aspect.
Practical points to note: this is a Grade II listed home, which can restrict alterations and may add cost or delay to future works. The main heating uses a pellet-fired boiler and radiators (wood pellets supplied in bulk bags), and the property sits in council tax band G which is relatively expensive. Parking is unrestricted on-street to the front.
For a family seeking a characterful country home with modern comforts and strong countryside access, this cottage offers tranquillity, excellent nearby schools and straightforward access to Cheltenham and major routes, albeit with the usual considerations of owning a listed rural property.
