A cosy, spacious Cotswold stone cottage with beautiful views in vibrant Stroud

This Grade II listed heritage cottage dates back to circa 1750 and is built from beautiful Cotswold stone, with many original features throughout. It offers a warm, cosy atmosphere alongside thoughtful modern updates — providing comfort and ease without losing its historic charm.

The cottage is home to Fiona and her young child, Avery, and is well set up for families. Evenings are often spent around the wood-burning stove, while days are easily filled with walks and outdoor time on Rodborough Common, located just moments away. The Common is a protected landscape with wide views, grazing animals and well-marked paths, and is popular with both locals and visitors.

The house includes a family bathroom, a master bedroom with en-suite, and two further bedrooms with king-size beds. One bedroom is set in the eaves and has an adjoining smaller bedroom, making it particularly suitable for families travelling with young children.

In addition, the cottage has a modern patio adjoining for al-fresco evenings.
