A substantial four-bedroom period home in the heart of a desirable North Cotswold hamlet, Fern Cottage combines traditional character with generous living space. Ground-floor rooms include a snug with an inglenook fireplace, separate sitting and dining rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with AGA, and a light garden room opening onto mature landscaped gardens. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, three with en-suite facilities, plus a family bathroom — well suited to family life or regular guests.
The plot is a major asset: large landscaped gardens, gated parking for two cars, a detached stone outbuilding housing a garage, store and impressive underground wine cellar, with a light studio above. The outbuilding offers flexible space for guests, home working or hobbies, adding real lifestyle and rental potential. Practicals include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, fast broadband, and freehold tenure.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is very old (pre-1900) with traditional stone walls that are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so further insulation or upgrading may be required. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive. Average mobile signal and the semi-rural location mean some services are less robust than urban areas.
Overall this property will appeal to families looking for characterful, spacious accommodation in a peaceful Cotswold setting, or buyers seeking flexible ancillary accommodation and mature gardens. Its setting and room sizes offer immediate comfort with clear potential to improve energy performance and adapt the outbuilding to changing needs.
