Summary - Galloway, Waterley Bottom, DURSLEY GL11 6EF
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Elevated two-acre plot with panoramic countryside views and parking.
Over two acres of grounds, fields and pocket woodland
Set well back from the lane on an elevated plot, this 17th-century stone cottage offers rare privacy and more than two acres of mixed lawns, paddocks and pocket woodland. Character features include inglenook fireplaces with woodburners, a recently fitted electric boiler (2023) and partial new double glazing. The property currently provides two principal bedrooms with an attic and a separate annexe that create straightforward scope for a third or fourth bedroom.
The house is a genuine renovation opportunity: many rooms have been updated but the interior and services require further modernising. Energy performance is low (Energy Rating G), walls are traditional stone with assumed no insulation, and the cottage sits on private drainage (septic tank). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider for hybrid working or high-bandwidth households.
Externally the setting is the main draw: sweeping tarmac driveway, generous hardstanding for multiple vehicles, sheltered seating areas and elevated vantage points for panoramic countryside views. The site is partly agricultural and suits buyers seeking land for hobby gardening, small-scale grazing or simply long-distance views and peace of mind in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Practical points: flood risk is assessed as medium for the immediate area and council tax is above average (Band E). This cottage will appeal to buyers prepared to invest in fabric upgrades, insulation and modern communications, and who value character, space and rural seclusion over a turnkey finish.
