A characterful Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Tewkesbury, this two-bedroom home combines period features with compact, practical living. Exposed beams, exposed brick and a feature fireplace give the living space strong curb appeal, while an open-plan living/dining layout maximises the 816 sq ft footprint. The paved courtyard provides a low-maintenance outdoor space in keeping with the town-centre setting.
The house will suit a first-time buyer, couple, or small family who want to be walking distance from shops, cafes and local amenities. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the property is conveniently located for primary schools rated Good. Internal room sizes are modest but well arranged for comfortable everyday living.
There are important practical considerations: the Grade II listing means any structural or external alterations will be restricted and potentially costly. The timber-frame walls appear to lack insulation, and windows are secondary glazed — the house may require upgrades to improve energy efficiency and damp or insulation performance. The property lies in an area with very high recorded crime, which should be factored into security plans and insurance.
In short, this is a charming period cottage offering central convenience and characterful interiors, with clear potential for sympathetic improvement. Buyers should budget for listed‑building permissions and likely energy‑efficiency works when assessing overall costs.
