The Property
Tucked away in the heart of the historic Cotswold village of Bisley, this beautifully presented semidetached cottage seamlessly blends period charm with modern updates. Located within a conservation area, the home retains original features such as window seats, exposed Cotswold stone, and timber beams, while thoughtful improvements—including new double glazed windows, a refitted kitchen, a new boiler, and stylish redecoration—enhance its appeal. The period property offers flexible living arrangements, with two reception rooms and two double bedrooms, or the option to configure it as three bedrooms. The sitting room, part of the original cottage, boasts wooden flooring, a window seat, shutters, and a striking Cotswold stone fireplace with a wood burner. The second reception room, bathed in natural light from skylights and a wall of French doors, features a vaulted ceiling, creating a bright and airy space that could also serve as an additional bedroom. The contemporary kitchen, featuring exposed beams and a tiled floor, also accommodates the staircase and offers direct access to the courtyard. Upstairs, both double bedrooms include built-in storage, with one showcasing an exposed Cotswold stone wall and a charming window seat overlooking the private courtyard garden. The centrally positioned bathroom sits between the two rooms, with additional storage on the landing housing the boiler. Externally, the property benefits from a private courtyard garden and off-street parking for a small car. Further information: Broadband: Ultrafast available (Ofcom). Mobile Coverage: EE likely indoors, others limited; all likely outdoors. Heating: Gas central heating and wood burner. Parking: Space for a small car.

Outside
Two wooden gates open onto a gravel parking area beside the cottage, where the owner parks her Mini. The charming walled courtyard has been thoughtfully transformed into a low-maintenance garden—an inviting space to enjoy a morning coffee or entertain friends. A raised wooden flower bed adds a vibrant touch of color, complemented by a recently pollarded beech tree. At the front of the cottage, the small area by the steps is adorned with mature shrubs, carefully maintained by the owner
