Description

Description

This very pretty Grade II listed end of terrace cottage is situated down a quiet no-through lane within the highly-sought after village of Westonbirt enjoying a peaceful open view across fields opposite. Formerly part of the Holford estate believed to date back to c.1854 and designed by Lewis Vulliamy, the cottage features attractive Cotswold stone elevations beneath a stone slate roof with a striking steep gabled porch complete with chamfered Tudor arches and an original plank front door. Internally, much character has been retained throughout. The cottage sits well within it's plot and it is considered to have great scope for extending, subject to planning. 
 
The accommodation is arranged over two floors extending to around 882 sq.ft. The front porch opens to the large dual-aspect reception room boasting flagstone flooring and an open fireplace. The rear fitted kitchen has a side lobby off with rear access. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. 
 
The cottage is set amongst wonderful gardens of around 0.15 acres. A driveway to the side provides private off-street parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens include a front lawn, a secluded rear seating terrace beside a store shed, whilst there is an additional larger garden laid mostly to lawn with an elevated position overlooking the field beyond.
