Description

Hidden down a quiet country lane away from the hustle and bustle, this charming stone cottage is situated in the rural hamlet of Wallow Green set amongst rolling Cotswold hills located on the outskirts of Horsley village and Nailsworth town. Dating back to the early 19th century, the cottage has been lovingly restored to an exacting standard over the years whilst retaining ample character throughout including timber cottage windows, exposed beams and oak flooring. Most recently, the heating system was upgraded to lpg and the kitchen was re-fitted.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation extends in all to 728 sq.ft comprising on the ground floor a living room with wood-burning stove set within an exposed stone fireplace, leading down to the updated kitchen which benefits from underfloor heating. On the first floor, there is a modern family bathroom with shower over bath and a double bedroom with a built-in storage cupboard. On the top floor there is a further double bedroom with exposed beams and views over the lovely garden and the surrounding countryside.

The pretty garden is arranged to the original front elevation and has been beautifully planted and maintained. A newly landscaped patio provides a sun terrace with the garden benefitting from a sunny southerly aspect. Access to the kitchen porch is across a shared gated courtyard area which houses an external stone built store/workshop providing fantastic storage. Parking is available on the quiet lane outside.
