Full Details for 4 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Cheltenham, GL53 :
Set just off Fosse Way, the ancient Roman road that led to Corinium, modern day Cirencester, this extraordinary cottage suggests much about history in its character and more about the best of contemporary living. Here's a plot spoiler the A417 is close by, audible from outside but not visible inside. There is even the buffer of a barely used lane in front, quickly leading to a dead end and please read on if you are looking for spacious rural living and spectacular views for less than £500,000.
With the dreamy backdrop of buttercup yellow rape seed fields, pasture land and an uninterrupted view, a large garden might not be such a prerequisite. However, this extended stone built cottage is wrapped in a ¾ acre plot that currently fulfils the needs of family life with great swathes of lawn before complimentary stone outbuildings, reminiscent of an old forge and with a small orchard, ideal for the secluded kitchen garden. This western flank also offers perfect access for a motorhome, caravan and other vehicles, away from the core garden, that is inviting gardeners to perhaps create a Gertrude Jekyll cottage garden and enjoy the stunning views across this recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Returning to the cottage, which unlike many is exceptionally light and with good head height, the four bedrooms tantalise with exposed stonework and beams and all provide the reassuring view of unspoilt England. The bathroom offers contemporary comforts in its styling, as does the ground floor utility and cloakroom while probably the perfect combination of the old and the new is to be found in the outstanding 18' x 14' sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, an eye catching fireplace and picture window to the front and twin doors ushering you out the grounds and wonderful view. A 21 st century white oak staircase then twirls away to multifunctional room extending to 21' and perfect as a kids rumpus room or an office for the homeworker from which to also enjoy the farmland vista. To complete this distinctive and we feel, value for money home, the kitchen and dining room seamlessly share quality floor tiling, with the kitchen and breakfast area warmed and wowed by an AGA and the 17' dining room, capable of managing the most rowdy party.
At Perry Bishop and Chambers we have been privileged to sell many cottages over the years, but Fosse Cottage creates a unique feeling and is now looking for someone that feels the same way.
