Rose Cottage, Wick - A Refined Country Retreat with Exceptional Space, Charm and Flexibility

Discreetly tucked away in the picturesque village of Wick, Rose Cottage is a beautifully extended four-bedroom period home, offering a rare blend of heritage, lifestyle, and natural splendour. Situated within the highly protected Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this characterful residence provides all the space and flexibility modern life demands while immersing you in an environment of peace, prestige and rural charm.

Dating back over a century and sympathetically developed over time, this unique home is ideal for growing families, professionals seeking tranquil work-from-home space, creatives in need of inspiration, or anyone longing for a countryside sanctuary without compromise.

Set just moments from the convenience of Bath Road, the property opens with a generous porch adorned with quarry tiles and practical storage, a charming prelude to the thoughtful layout and elegant finishes that follow.

Inside, two beautifully proportioned reception rooms retain original cottage features including exposed beams and cosy log-burning stoves, perfect for quiet evenings or intimate entertaining. The spacious kitchen-diner is the true heart of the home, complete with ample workspace, rustic character, and French doors leading into a bright south-facing conservatory, a stunning suntrap ideal for slow mornings or sunset dining.

Practicality is just as carefully considered. A large utility room with further storage, a separate WC, and a ground-floor bathroom featuring underfloor heating and motion-sensor lighting ensure the home meets the needs of busy households.

Upstairs offers four generous double bedrooms, with the principal suite benefiting from built-in storage and a private wash basin. A contemporary family shower room, also with underfloor heating, completes the upper floor.

Step outside and the enchantment continues. The south-facing garden is designed for both enjoyment and ease, featuring colourful established borders, raised vegetable beds, and a natural-style wildlife pond offering a peaceful, ever-changing backdrop for outdoor living and a haven for garden lovers.

The property also includes a suite of versatile outbuildings: a summerhouse, greenhouse, log store, and an impressive 700 sqft workshop/garage ideal for creatives, hobbyists, or even a home business. Driveway parking for at least four vehicles and direct private access to Bath Road complete the offering.

A Lifestyle Beyond the Garden Gate

Set within the Cotswolds AONB, Rose Cottage sits on the doorstep of some of the region’s most beautiful walking country. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will delight in hundreds of miles of public footpaths, winding through rolling hills, woodlands, and scenic open countryside. Just a short stroll from the property lies the Golden Valley Nature Reserve, a rich wildlife habitat and local treasure, home to peregrine falcons and a variety of rare and protected bird species making it a true haven for birdwatchers and walkers alike.

Whether you're after a gentle Sunday stroll, a dog-friendly ramble, or a more ambitious countryside trek, the surrounding landscape offers a wealth of routes to explore on foot right from your front door. And when the walking boots come off? You’re spoilt for choice. There are three excellent local pubs within walking distance, all serving superb Sunday lunches or offering the perfect spot for a well-earned refreshment of choice after a ramble through the countryside.
