Located in the sought-after village of Chalford, this charming three-bedroom cottage offers a lovely balance of period character, flexible accommodation and practical living. Set in an elevated position, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the valley and surrounding hills from each floor. Offered to the market with no onward chain, it would suit those looking for a full-time home, a holiday let or an easy-to-manage lock-up-and-leave retreat.

A pair of double gates opens into a paved courtyard enclosed by traditional stone walling. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, this inviting outside space is ideal for a small table and chairs, potted plants or relaxed outdoor dining, while requiring minimal upkeep between stays. An adjoining utility outhouse provides further flexibility, complete with power and water, and offers useful storage, potential guest facilities or scope to reinstate a WC if required.

Stepping inside, the porch and boot room provide a practical place for coats, footwear and everyday essentials, particularly useful after countryside walks. The fitted dining kitchen is both welcoming and functional, with shaker-style units, solid wood worktops and integrated appliances. Terracotta tiled flooring adds warmth and character, while space for dining and a useful under-stairs pantry support both everyday living and short-term letting.

The first floor offers particularly flexible accommodation. The guest bedroom could also be arranged as an additional sitting room, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace and creating a lovely connection with the outside space. We have shown both possible layouts within our online slideshow, helping to demonstrate just how versatile this attractive room can be.

The main sitting room is filled with character and centred around a log burner with an exposed brick surround. Doors open onto a balcony, where far-reaching views provide a wonderful backdrop and a particularly appealing feature for those seeking a countryside escape.

The bathroom is fitted with a P-shaped bath and rainfall shower, complemented by attractive stone-effect tiling.

On the second floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom is especially impressive, with dual-aspect windows capturing panoramic valley views, built-in storage and an en suite shower room, making it ideal for owner use or as premium guest accommodation. A cast-iron fireplace adds further charm. The remaining double bedroom is another generous room, with a wide front-facing window and fitted triple wardrobe.

The flexible layout, character features and elevated setting combine to create a home with broad appeal. It lends itself particularly well to holiday letting, offering guests an attractive Cotswold base with memorable views, while working equally well as a second home or permanent residence with secure, manageable outside space.

Please note that the property is currently vacant. Some images have been enhanced with furnishings to help illustrate how the rooms could be arranged.

Outside - The outside spaces have been thoughtfully arranged to offer enjoyment without the upkeep of a traditional garden, making them well suited to both holiday letting and a second home. Each area provides its own setting to take in the surroundings, while remaining easy to manage between stays.

The courtyard sits just off the porch, enclosed by attractive stone walling. Laid with natural stone paving, it creates a welcoming and low-maintenance space, ideal for a café table, potted plants or relaxed outdoor dining. Private and sheltered, it works well for guests on arrival or for owners looking for a simple, usable outdoor area. The adjoining outhouse adds further practicality, offering storage for bikes and walking gear, with power and water already in place.

The terrace leads directly from the first floor guest bedroom, creating a natural extension of the accommodation. Elevated in position, it enjoys open views across the valley and offers space for seating or loungers. This is a strong feature for guest appeal, providing a private outdoor space to relax and take in the setting.

The balcony opens from the sitting room and offers a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening drink. With space for a couple of chairs and uninterrupted views across the surrounding hills, it adds to the overall experience of the property and enhances its appeal as a countryside retreat.

All three areas are designed with ease in mind, requiring minimal upkeep while still delivering usable and attractive outdoor space. The layout suits those looking for a lock-up-and-leave home or a property with clear potential for holiday letting, where outside space adds value without ongoing maintenance.
