Cowley, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL53

In one of the most sought after Cotswold village locations, an extended semi detached stone cottage requiring finishing.

Description

Appletree Cottage is a charming Cotswold stone property, believed to date from around 1897. The current owners have carried out works to the cottage, including a new central heating system and an extension to provide the sitting room, principal bedroom and bathroom and second bedroom. Whilst the cottage is very liveable there is scope for a buyer to enhance further, particularly in the gardens which have been cleared but not landscaped. The majority of the windows are double glazed, there are new carpets to the upstairs and stripped floorboards in the sitting room. The bathroom, shower roof and cloakroom are new, and there is a modern kitchen with built in appliances. Gigaclear fast broadband is in the village.

Outside the property has a driveway to the front offering parking for 2/3 cars. The gardens have been cleared but not planted and offer stunning views across pastureland and the valley beyond and provide a tranquil setting for the house.
