Summary - Vane Cottage, Pinfarthings, Amberley GL5 5JH
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Substantial 1800s cottage with secluded garden and parking for three cars.
Four bedrooms; principal with en-suite
Vane Cottage is a substantial, characterful semi-detached cottage dating from circa 1800, extended in 1983 to provide spacious family accommodation across three floors. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and triple-aspect windows; two reception rooms plus a garden room give flexible living and good flow to a secluded, wrap-around garden. The property has well-maintained cottage planting, a productive vegetable patch, greenhouse and a generous patio with valley views — perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Practical strengths include double glazing added after 2002, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and a rare village advantage: off-street parking for at least three cars. The setting is a strong local selling point, facing south below National Trust common land, with good local primary schools, nearby independent schooling and convenient road and rail links to Stroud and London.
Buyers should note the house’s age and traditional granite walls are likely uninsulated; further insulation or energy improvements may be required. The property has been in long-term ownership and shows signs of careful upkeep rather than recent full refurbishment — cosmetic updating or targeted maintenance may be needed to modernise bathrooms or kitchen finishes to individual taste. Council tax is moderate; crime and mobile signal are average.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a character home with gardens and parking in a highly desirable countryside setting — families who value schools nearby and lovers of outdoor space will appreciate the plot, while those wanting a fully modern, turnkey energy-efficient home should budget for improvement works.
