Spacious period cottage in central Bishops Cleeve with gardens, garage and great schools nearby.
Four double bedrooms with Jack and Jill ensuite upstairs
An iconic four-bedroom village cottage set in the heart of Bishops Cleeve, this freehold home blends period character with surprisingly generous living space. Beamed reception rooms, an inglenook fireplace and a kitchen breakfast room with an AGA create a warm, lived-in atmosphere while modern conveniences such as two bathrooms and a detached garage add everyday practicality.
The property sits on a decent plot with enclosed gardens to three sides and a south-facing sun trap at the rear, plus further garden overlooking the adjacent church. Finished rooms include three reception areas (lounge, dining room and study), a ground-floor bathroom and a useful separate WC — all arranged over an efficient, family-friendly layout roughly 1,859 sq ft in size.
Location is a clear strength: the cottage is right in the village with shops, eateries and bus links on the doorstep, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Broadband speeds are fast, crime levels are very low, and the wider area is affluent and self-sufficient, making this an attractive family base.
Notable practical points: the property’s character includes a thatched roof and historic stone walls, which are charming but typically need specialist maintenance and can affect insurance costs. Council tax is described as expensive. The sale is offered with no onward chain, presenting a straightforward purchase opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive family home.
