The Property
Nestled in the hilltop village of France Lynch lies this charming Cotswold stone semi-detached cottage. Tucked just off the village lane, this two-bedroom period home has been beautifully updated by the current owner. Improvements include a refitted bespoke kitchen and bathroom, as well as the installation of a wood burner in the sitting room— blending modern comfort with timeless character. Step through the open porch and front door into the welcoming dining room, where you’ll find wooden flooring and an exposed Cotswold stone fireplace with an ornate wood burner inset. From here, steps lead up past the bathroom and utility area to the bright, light-filled kitchen, while a separate door opens into the cosy sitting room. The kitchen is flooded with natural light thanks to a large window and French doors opening onto the side garden. It features stylish cabinetry, integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, a Belfast-style sink, attractive worktops, wooden flooring, and a rangestyle AGA cooker. The sitting room is a delightful dual-aspect space, with a Cotswold stone fireplace housing a wood burner, wooden floors, and a characterful alcove with built-in shelving. The bathroom includes a freestanding claw-foot bath with shower over, WC, and a basin set into a vanity unit. The utility room features a limestone floor, wallmounted cupboard, and space for laundry appliances. A staircase rises to the first floor, cleverly incorporating bespoke cupboards and integrated wine racks beneath. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys painted exposed beams, wooden flooring, and built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom also offers a built-in wardrobe and a cupboard housing the gas boiler.

Outside
Cotswold stone walls enclose a private gravelled parking area, with a wrought iron pedestrian gate leading onto a pathway through the front garden. This garden is mainly composed of wide, well-stocked flower borders and includes a useful log store. A gated path with an attractive Cotswold stone arched wall wraps around to the side of the cottage, where the majority of the garden is located. The garden is thoughtfully divided into two gravelled areas for lowmaintenance enjoyment. The lower area, accessible directly from the kitchen’s French doors, has a path that continues around to the rear of the cottage. A few steps lead up to a raised, enclosed terrace—an ideal space for entertaining. A timber outbuilding purchased from Scandinavia has light and power and could used as a home office.
