Farfield, Cam, GL11

Old Cottage is a quintessential country home, offering stunning views, a peaceful rural setting, and easy access to local amenities. Countryside walks begin right from the doorstep, adding to the charm and lifestyle this characterful home provides. Originally built in the 18th century, the property showcases high quality materials and traditional craftsmanship. The front door opens into a sociable central dining room with an inglenook fireplace and flagstone floor, running the depth of the house and tying the spaces together. On this level is a 16’ sitting room with fireplace, and a vaulted kitchen/breakfast room that opens into the original roof void, bringing in wonderful natural light. A shower room/utility completes the ground floor. Stairs take you from the dining room to the first floor, where there is a 13’ principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a large family bathroom, and a further double bedroom. The second floor provides a third double bedroom, ideal as a children’s room or guest space, again with fine views.

The property enjoys a generous driveway with space for three to four vehicles. The gardens, extending to around a third of an acre, include two versatile cabins set within the grounds. At the front, mature apple trees and informal meadow planting frame the approach, giving it a soft, natural feel, with a gate leading out to the lane. A covered seating area at the front of the cottage provides a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine and take in the far reaching views. To the side, gently sloping lawns and a well established growing area add to the garden’s appeal and create a strong sense of space.  The two cabins work well together, one providing comfortable living accommodation, the other a kitchen and shower room, making them ideal for guests, holiday letting, or potential income. At the top of the garden, a level lawn offers a perfect play area for children, alongside a wildlife pond that attracts a variety of species. The entire garden is securely enclosed, creating a safe and appealing setting for both children and dogs.

The property is situated in a quiet country lane in the hamlet of Farfield, on the outskirts of Cam and Dursley, nestled on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment and surrounded by breathtaking woodland and idyllic walking routes. This unique location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful rural living with easy access to the vibrant, practical amenities of Dursley and the charming, creative community of nearby Uley. Dursley provides a wide range of everyday conveniences including independent shops, cafés, a supermarket, well regarded schools, a leisure centre, community hospital and the award winning Old Spot pub. Uley, by contrast, is a picturesque Cotswold village with a distinct character,  home to a popular village school, a thriving arts centre, and the historic Crown pub at its heart. Together, these two communities offer a rich blend of practicality and aspiration, all within a few minutes’ drive. Cam and Dursley train station provides direct links to Gloucester and Bristol, with easy access to the M4 and M5 motorways for wider travel.
