Eastcombe, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6

What makes Cyprus Cottage special isn't just the cottage itself – it's the number of different ways it can be lived in.

Every buyer will see something slightly different in Cyprus Cottage. Some will simply fall in love with it as a character home. Others will immediately recognise the value of the self-contained annexe and the opportunity to generate additional income. For others, it will be the reassurance of owning a home that can adapt as family life changes over the years.

The extension was built in 1982 to provide a home for our vendors elderly parents. Although seamlessly connected to the original cottage, it also works as a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe, giving a level of flexibility that very few homes offer.

Nestled in the heart of a quaint village, this period detached house offers a charming blend of traditional elegance and modern comfort, and comes to the market with the benefit of having NO ONWARD CHAIN. Boasting flexible and adaptable accommodation including three to five bedrooms, this bright and stylish property is well-maintained and exudes a homely atmosphere. The house features a cosy living space, a scenic garden perfect for outdoor relaxation, a patio for al fresco dining, and a conservatory for enjoying the natural light year-round. Additionally, the property includes an annexe that can be used as a home office, extra bedroom accommodation or guest accommodation, as well as off-street parking for up to five cars. With its peaceful surroundings and convenient location, this property is ideal for those seeking a comfortable and stylish home in a picturesque setting.

The generous plot offers further opportunities. There is plenty of space to extend the existing property, subject to the necessary permissions, and we have always felt there is potential to explore the creation of a separate building plot.

Despite being in the very heart of the village, with the Post Office and The Lamb Inn just a short walk away, the house enjoys a surprising sense of peace and privacy because of the way it sits within its plot.

Eastcombe is a beautiful hilltop village which benefits from a local village shop with post office and public house The Lamb Inn. Eastcombe has two Churches and a primary school with a local secondary school within walking distance.
