Ambrose Cottage is a well-presented Cotswold stone home set in an elevated spot on Brimscombe Hill, offering genuine period character and panoramic Golden Valley views. The accommodation is arranged neatly over three floors, with a cosy sitting room centred on a stone fireplace and modern wood-burning stove, plus a flexible first-floor reception and a kitchen opening onto a balcony terrace — great for morning coffee and sunset vistas.
The house suits a couple or first-time buyers seeking character and sensible running costs: mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002, fast broadband and low local crime. Practical extras include an enclosed landscaped garden with a secluded sitting area and a rare tandem off-street parking space for two cars behind the property.
Buyers should note the property footprint and garden are modest in width, and the construction is traditional sandstone/limestone with no assumed wall insulation, so there is scope for targeted upgrading (insulation, cosmetic modernisation) to increase comfort and value. The layout includes only one full bathroom and some compact rooms typical of period cottages — strengths for character lovers but a consideration for those needing larger, open-plan space.
Overall, Ambrose Cottage offers immediate charm, sensible running costs and excellent valley views. It’s ideal for buyers who prioritise location and character and who are comfortable with a compact, well-laid-out historic home that also offers straightforward potential to improve energy performance and internal finishes.
