Goose Nest Cottage is a handsome Cotswold stone detached home set back from the lane in Box, enjoying southerly, far-reaching views over the village and surrounding woods. The house offers unusually large and characterful accommodation over two floors: a double-height 20ft sitting room with wood burner, a bright kitchen with AGA and flagstone floors, and a mezzanine/galleried landing that works well as a study or play area.
The terraced rear garden is cleverly arranged to make the most of the outlook, with a top terrace patio ideal for evening sunsets and al fresco dining. Practical features include a stone woodstore, external utility access, a detached garage and an off-street parking space directly in front of the garage — a rare combination in a village setting.
The property retains period character throughout but is of its age. External stone walls are historic and likely uninsulated (assumed), and some updating or ongoing maintenance should be expected. Broadband is reported as slow and council tax band is expensive; these practical factors are worth considering alongside the cottage’s strong lifestyle appeal.
This house will suit buyers seeking a comfortable village family home or a high-quality secondary residence in the Cotswolds. Its generous internal volume, versatile landing space and attractive outdoor terraces give scope for modern living while retaining traditional charm.
