What a delightful home; nestled on the hillside in the heart of Thrupp. This pretty attached Cotswold stone cottage is full of charm, with such a welcoming and cosy vibe throughout. Oozing character, with terraced gardens and a wonderful vista across the valley.

Approached from the garden gate, steps lead up to the cottage and grounds. The pathway leads to the front porch where you can soak up the views from the pretty front garden, a lovely spot to sit and relax. A small entrance porch provides handy space for coats and shoes. Upon entering the cosy sitting room, you are enveloped with warmth and character, greeted with exposed wooden beams, Cotswold stone walls and an open fireplace. Carry on through to the dining kitchen where an extensive range of fitted oak fronted cabinetry offers plenty of storage and worksurface with yet more charming features including quarry tiled flooring and a lovely, exposed beam. An integral double oven and hob are included, with spaces for under counter fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is space for a dining table. The rear hall, accessed from the kitchen, leads to the bright downstairs bathroom fitted with a white suite comprising WC, hand wash basin inset to a cupboard unit and a panelled bath with shower attachment, and a second external door leads to the gardens.

From the sitting room, a ledge and brace door opens to a charming wooden staircase leading to the first floor. Here can be found the main bedroom with ensuite shower room and a further snug/occasional bedroom leading to a second double bedroom, filled with natural light from two front facing windows and a roof light, converted from the Cotswold stone outhouse, thought to originally be no.3 Rose Cottages. A winding staircase leads from the snug to the second floor where you can find two versatile attic rooms, the first currently utilised as an art studio, showcasing the valley views, leading to a further double bedroom, both with beautiful open A frame timber beams. This floor offers a flexible arrangement for potential office space, and the bedroom is ideal for a teenager, or child’s playroom/games room.

The pretty gardens complement the cottage beautifully, with generous lawned and gravel rear terraces, interspersed with shrubs and flowers and taking full advantage of the views, offering plenty of space for children/pets to play, and for outdoor entertaining. The garage and small concrete hardstanding completes the package, ticking those final boxes.

There is gated access from the rear garden, across the rear of no.1 Rose Cottages, to be agreed by prior arrangement, for purposes of rear maintenance to the cottage.

Outside - The cottage enjoys a beautifully arranged garden that makes the most of its elevated position and far-reaching countryside views.

Immediately adjoining the property is a charming terrace area, perfectly positioned to take in the rolling valley beyond. This inviting space is framed by mature hedging and well-stocked borders, creating a peaceful setting from which to enjoy the surroundings. The rear garden extends across gently sloping tiers, creating a sense of depth and interest. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is interspersed with a variety of established shrubs, flowering plants, and ornamental grasses that provide year-round colour and texture. Carefully considered planting includes seasonal blooms and structured greenery, while a gravelled pathway leads through the garden, offering both practicality and charm.

To one side is mature planting that provides both privacy and a natural backdrop. Timber fencing and hedging enclose the garden, maintaining a sense of seclusion while still allowing uninterrupted views across neighbouring cottages and the surrounding countryside.

On the lane, can be found a pre-fabricated garage and small concrete hardstanding (although not quite large enough to take a car fully off-road).
Overall, the garden is a true highlight of the property, combining character, usability, and a picturesque outlook in a tranquil village setting.
