The Property
Situated in the desirable Cotswold village of Chalford Hill, Glendalough is a delightful period property full of charm and character. Set in an elevated position and enjoying excellent privacy, the home boasts southerly views over its garden, village rooftops, and the surrounding wooded valley. This well presented family home offers spacious, flexible accommodation over three floors, ideally suited to modern living while retaining its period features. The main entrance opens into a practical porch which leads into the living spaces. The ground floor offers two attractive and interconnected reception rooms: a sitting room with a stone fireplace with woodburner and mullioned window to the garden, flowing into a formal dining room with its own stone fireplace and electric fire inset. These warm, welcoming spaces are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. From the dining room, a step down leads into a charming kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, a range cooker, and an understairs larder cupboard, this inviting space also affords direct access to the garden. A door from the kitchen opens onto a secondary staircase leading to a versatile home office or guest bedroom, offering excellent flexibility. The main staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor, where two double bedrooms are located to the south elevation. Both enjoy attractive views, mullioned windows, fireplaces, exposed beams, and timber lintels. The principal bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes and a sink. A family bathroom with a shower cubicle and separate WC with basin serve this level. A further staircase leads to the top floor, where a bright, spacious open-plan room is currently used as guest accommodation. With exposed A-frame beams, loft storage, and doubleaspect windows, it’s full of natural light. A connecting door leads to another double bedroom, with similar features. Both are served by bathroom with shower.
Outside
Enclosed by a Cotswold stone wall, the gardens are a real joy, boasting privacy, space for children to play, and mature planting throughout, with plenty of opportunity for the keen gardener. A parking space leads to an attached garage; an internal step down within the garage leads to a useful utility. The gardens enjoy a southerly aspect with views across the adjoining rooftops to the wooded valley beyond. Extensive and vibrant flower borders throughout provide year-round interest and colour, whilst a beautifully maintained Yew tree creates shade in the warmer months. A level lawn provides ample space for play. Beyond lies a productive vegetable patch, shed and greenhouse. A paved seating terrace immediately adjoins the house, creating the perfect spot for outdoor dining, while a Cotswold chipping path allows easy access from the cottage to the vegetable patch, even in wetter months. The property benefits from pedestrian access over the side lane, where a gate opens into the garden.
