Guide price £450,000
The Property
Cuthams Cottage is a unique and charming property, occupying an idyllic rural setting with breath-taking panoramic views over neighbouring fields and the wooded valley beyond. Offered for sale for the first time in many years, this is a one-off opportunity to own a home in this sought-after Cotswold location. Nestled in the tranquil wooded valley of Bismore, on the edge of Eastcombe village, the cottage provides an unrivalled opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscape. Approached via a farm track that winds between Bismore and Toadsmoor, the property enjoys a sense of seclusion and peace, while remaining well-connected to the surrounding area. The cottage has been thoughtfully improved in recent years, including a single-storey extension and the addition of a conservatory, allowing for year-round enjoyment of the surroundings, no matter the season. The main entrance opens into a tiled-floor conservatory, which the current owner uses as a second reception room. From here, an original entrance leads into a charming sitting room, where a Cotswold stone fireplace with a woodburner inset serves as a warming focal point, adding to the inviting atmosphere. Hardwood-effect flooring flows throughout. A door from the sitting room opens into a spacious kitchen/dining room, which offers ample space for both cooking and dining. French doors open onto a decked sun terrace, allowing you to soak in the gorgeous views of the surrounding wooded valley. The kitchen is surprisingly large, measuring an impressive 21 ’11 in length. It is fitted with shaker-style, in-frame cabinets and equipped with an integrated oven and hob. A connecting door from the kitchen leads to a utility room, which is adjacent to a convenient downstairs shower room. A further door from the utility into the sitting room. Upstairs, there is one double bedroom, which enjoys a beautiful view. From the first-floor landing, a paddle staircase leads to a generous attic room.
Outside
The property is approached via a farm track that extends from Toadmoor Hill through to the bottom of Bismore. Cuthams cottage benefits from a right of access over part of this track, approached via Toadsmoor Hill. A gated driveway provides access to a detached single garage, both of which provide parking and outside storage. The garden is divided into three distinct sections, with panoramic views enjoyed throughout. The gardens and grounds offer great opportunity for the keen gardener. A decked terrace immediately adjoins the kitchen and offers the perfect spot for alfresco dining. The largest section of garden lies to the south elevation where a large expanse of lawn is interspersed by trees and flower borders. A further area of lawn rises up beyond the side of the cottage, where there are yet more plants, shrubs and trees offer interest and colour, a greenhouse sits alongside the boundary.
