situated in a charming hillside cotswold hamlet, this detached cotswold stone cottage requires restoration and offers a garden and parking.

The Property

Located in a delightful, elevated hilltop Cotswold hamlet, just off the village green, lies this detached threebedroom cottage. Constructed of traditional Cotswold stone, this much-loved family home has been owned by the same family for many decades. The property requires complete modernisation, including repair to the roof, but offers a wonderful opportunity for someone to create a bespoke country home in a charming setting. The rear of the house faces a single-track country lane, while the front overlooks its beautiful cottage garden. The central front door opens into a small hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful storage cupboard beneath. From here, doors lead to both the kitchen/breakfast room and the sitting room. The sitting room is filled with natural light, enjoying three windows overlooking the garden and a further window to the rear. A stone-surround open fireplace forms the central focal point, with built-in shelving to one side. The dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room houses the oil-fired Rayburn, which provides heating, hot water, and cooking facilities, and benefits from a walk-in cupboard. A side door opens into a porch with an additional door to the garden (please note a temporary WC was installed here for an elderly parent’s convenience). Property Information: Covenants: There are restrictive covenants relating to the cottage: No garage or carport to be erected and no vehicle higher than 6ft can park on site – please ask the agent for further details. Drainage: Shared septic tank (owned by the neighbouring house, with contribution of 1/8th of the costs). Heating: Oil-fired central heating and open fire. Parking: Gravelled parking for one vehicle. Broadband: The vendor informs us of a Gigaclear point outside the cottage. Mobile: good externally but limited indoors.

Outside

The rear garden is a real highlight and will delight any green-fingered enthusiast. Enclosed by a mix of mature hedging and Cotswold stone walls, it features a level lawn bordered by wide, cottage-style flower beds. There is also a greenhouse, a wooden shed, and a further shed adjoining the neighbour’s shed (with an asbestos roof). Gravelled parking for one vehicle lies to the side of the house, with a gate leading to a path that continues to the front door. For directions: What 3 Words: encloses.burden.grownup.
