Bourne Cottage is a rare Cotswold stone chapel conversion offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,120 sq ft of characterful living in the heart of Eastleach. The house combines original features with sympathetic updates — exposed stone, pitched slate roof and large windows — making it a comfortable family home or a tranquil weekend retreat. The village setting overlooks allotments and sits within easy walking countryside, ideal for outdoor lifestyles.
Practical strengths include a decent private garden, off-street parking and electric underfloor heating that provides even warmth. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and broadband speeds are reported as fast, supporting remote working or streaming. The layout includes an open-plan living/dining area with a wood stove, a fitted kitchen, utility room and flexible rooms that can serve as a study or guest bedroom.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property dates from around 1900 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so there may be heat loss compared with modern construction. Main heating is electric (not a communal system), which can be costly depending on tariffs. Flooding risk is assessed as medium, and council tax is above average — both factors to check with insurers and local authority.
Overall this is a charming, well-located family cottage with period appeal and modern conveniences. It suits buyers seeking village life, countryside access and a distinctive property; some retrofit or ongoing running-cost planning may be needed to optimise comfort and energy use.
