Wellow Cottage is a spacious, Grade II listed 18th-century stone home tucked at the end of a quiet no-through lane in popular Marshfield. The house totals about 1,533 sq ft and retains strong period character—exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows, window seats and three inglenook fireplaces—giving comfortable family living with plenty of light and dual-aspect views across garden and valley.
The ground floor offers a practical layout: entrance hall with large storage/utility cupboard (scope to add a cloakroom), solid oak kitchen with underfloor heating, and three distinct reception rooms that flow to a sheltered patio and lawned gardens. Upstairs are three good bedrooms and a family bathroom; the master benefits from stripped pine flooring and generous proportions. Outside, mature borders, lawned areas, a courtyard and two timber outbuildings provide versatile garden, workshop and storage space. Off-street parking is available behind a gated driveway.
Location is a major strength: quiet village living within walking distance of shops, pubs, a tea room, surgery and a highly regarded primary school, with easy access to Bath, Bristol and the M4. Low local crime, affluent surroundings and local independent schooling add to appeal for families and buyers seeking a Cotswold lifestyle.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and could complicate modernisation or extensions. There is only one family bathroom and broadband speeds are slow; mobile signal is average. Council Tax is above average and the property is EPC exempt due to listing. These factors should be weighed alongside the cottage’s strong character and setting.
