Extended kitchen/dining/family room with central island
A charming three-bedroom stone cottage on the edge of Ruscombe, Spring Cottage combines countryside character with practical modern comforts. The ground floor has been extended to create a generous kitchen/dining/family room, while original features such as exposed beams and a working open fire give the sitting room a cosy, traditional feel.
Comfort is enhanced by stone flooring and underfloor heating across the ground floor, plus an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a useful downstairs shower room. The tiered front and rear gardens include mature apple and plum trees, distant valley views and useful outbuildings with potential to be adapted into a workshop or storage.
Important practical points: the house dates from before 1900 and retains uninsulated stone walls, and the EPC is band D (67) — further insulation or energy improvements may be needed to reduce running costs. There is a very small shared shed at the rear with a neighbour’s right of way, and bedrooms are modest in size compared with the larger ground-floor living space.
Overall this freehold end-of-terrace cottage suits buyers who value character, countryside views and ready-to-enjoy living, but who are mindful of period-property maintenance and potential energy-efficiency upgrades. No onward chain makes a quicker move possible for a family or downsizer seeking village life near Stroud.
