The Property
Elevated above the picture postcard Chalford High Street and enjoying leafy, wooded valley views, this charming detached period cottage is rich in character and natural light. Set within a well-regarded and close-knit community, the property offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace village life in a delightful Cotswold setting. Approached on foot via the famous Chalford donkey paths, the cottage sits behind a traditional picket fence, with gardens extending mainly to one side and benefitting from a sunny southerly aspect. A useful front entrance porch opens into a well-proportioned family kitchen with ample space for dining. This flows seamlessly into a glazed lean-to extension, providing additional living space filled with light and enjoying delightful views over the high street and valley. French doors open directly onto the outdoor space, creating an excellent connection between inside and out. Adjoining the kitchen is a split-level sitting room, featuring two windows to the front elevation and a period fireplace that forms an attractive focal point. Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first-floor landing, where three bedrooms and a family bathroom are located. The larger of the three bedrooms benefits from built in storage. A door from the landing also provides access to the rear of the property. The cottage is subject to historic covenants; further details are available upon request. Please ask agent for information regarding a covenants, detailed in the 1972 conveyance.
Outside
The majority of the gardens extend to the side of the cottage, rising above the house, with a level area immediately adjoining featuring a small patio with pergola leading to a lawn, beyond which steps ascend through a further heavily terraced garden where views can be enjoyed throughout and become increasingly far-reaching the higher you go, while parking is available on the street on a first-come, first-served basis.
