Summary - 1 LOWER STREAM COTTAGES MITCHELDEAN GL17 0EB
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with large gardens and strong rural privacy.
Extended five-bedroom semi-detached country residence c.1750
A rare, characterful country home in the hamlet of Flaxley, this extended five‑bed semi dates to around 1750 and sits in mature gardens of about 0.25 acre with direct access to open woodland. The house combines period features — exposed beams, original fireplace and wood‑burning stoves — with surprisingly generous living space spread over multiple floors and a conservatory that opens to the garden.
Outside is a major draw for families and hobbyists: landscaped lawns, seating areas, a koi carp pond, greenhouse, aviary, multiple sheds and workshops, and space currently occupied by a mobile home (siting permission in place). A tarmac driveway accessed via a shared track provides parking for three to four vehicles and the plot backs onto a stream and woodland for a very private setting.
Practical points to note: heating is oil with an option for wood fuel and the property has double glazing installed prior to 2002. Walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and are assumed to have no added insulation; the EPC is D and council tax band E. A shared septic tank lies in a neighbouring garden and the site falls in a medium flood‑risk area, so prospective buyers should make enquiries and budget for energy and drainage considerations.
This home will suit those seeking a rural, character property with substantial outside space and outbuildings. It offers scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors while appreciating a secluded, woodland‑edge lifestyle.
