This charming 17th‑century cottage in Charlton Kings sits behind a walled garden with views over St Mary’s church, combining period character with practical family living. The house offers two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner with island, and a covered garden room for summer entertaining. Off‑road parking and a large garage (potential to convert to a double garage) add useful storage and parking. There is also an option to purchase an additional one‑bed cottage attached to the house.
Accommodation is flexible for a family: the principal bedroom has an ensuite, a second double bedroom and a basement currently used as a study that could be adapted to a third bedroom. There are two bath/shower rooms in total. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The location is a major strength for families — this home falls within the Balcarras catchment and is close to several highly rated primary and secondary schools. Local amenities are plentiful in the village, with shops, cafés and green spaces nearby, and easy access to Cotswold countryside for walks.
Practical points to note: the cottage is of traditional granite construction (pre‑1900) and some parts would benefit from renovation and general TLC. The stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further improvements could be considered to increase thermal performance. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed. Overall this is a characterful family home with scope to personalise and add value in a very desirable schooling area.
