Burcombe, Chalford Hill, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6

Nestled in the heart of the highly desirable village of Chalford, Waverley presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming character cottage with huge potential. Boasting panoramic views across the Golden Valley, this two-bedroom cottage is perfect for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle in a stunning Cotswold setting.

Set over two floors, the property features a generously sized sitting/dining room, a spacious kitchen, and a ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms.

Externally, the property benefits from multiple outbuildings, including two greenhouses and a shed, providing fantastic storage or hobby space. With a total internal and outbuilding area of approx. 1,068 sq ft (99.2 sq m), there’s plenty of scope for enhancement (subject to planning).

While the property is in need of modernisation, it offers the perfect blank canvas for those looking to add value and create their ideal country retreat. Chain free and ready for a swift transaction, Waverley combines location, charm, and potential in equal measure.

Old Chalford is filled with traditional limestone cottages and period homes, often built along the banks of the River Frome and up winding lanes. Many properties retain original architectural features and blend seamlessly into the natural landscape. This is one of the quieter corners of the valley, offering elevated views across the surrounding hills, woodland, and patchwork fields. The serenity of Old Chalford makes it especially appealing to those seeking a slower, more rural pace of life.

The area played a vital role in Gloucestershire’s cloth-making history. Old mills and weavers’ cottages still dot the landscape, and the canal system that once transported goods runs nearby, now used more for leisure walks and canal boating. There are countless footpaths leading to beauty spots like the Thames and Severn Canal, Rodborough Common, and Minchinhampton Common. Cyclists and ramblers are drawn to this area for its unspoiled nature and far-reaching views.
