Cotswold stone period cottage with exposed beams and wood burner
One bedroom, one bathroom; approx 463 sq ft, compact rooms

Electric room heaters; likely higher energy costs than modern homes
Stone walls assumed uninsulated; insulation and heating upgrades advised
Crocus Cottage is a compact, characterful Cotswold stone property tucked down a quiet Fulbrook lane. Its exposed beams, stone fireplace and wood burner create an authentic cottage feel ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance, characterful living in a very affluent rural village.
The house is small (approx. 463 sq ft) with low ceilings and a compact layout: one bedroom, one bathroom and a cosy sitting room. The plot is small and manageable, making it suitable for downsizers or a single occupant wanting a village base rather than a large garden to maintain.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters and the building fabric is traditional stone with no known wall insulation. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. These factors mean energy costs are likely higher than modern standards and the cottage would benefit from targeted upgrades (insulation, heating and possible electrical improvements).
Fulbrook offers excellent broadband and mobile signal, local buses and good nearby schools, while Burford’s amenities are a short distance away. The freehold tenure, low council tax band and zero flood risk add practical appeal, but buyers should expect period-property maintenance and plan for energy-efficiency work if that matters.
