The Butts, Rodborough, Stroud

Positioned on the sought after slopes of Rodborough Hill, just below the picturesque Rodborough Common and less than a mile from Stroud town centre, Hawarden Cottage is a charming semi detached period home that effortlessly combines character, charm and convenience. The property offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors, creating a warm and inviting home in this highly desirable location.
The current owners have undertaken a sympathetic programme of refurbishment, carefully enhancing the property's period character while introducing stylish contemporary finishes. Highlights include elegant underfloor heated limestone flooring, a striking oak mantel with an inset wood burning stove, traditional hospital style radiators and a beautifully appointed kitchen. Designed as the heart of the home, the kitchen features a central island with a gas hob and breakfast bar, complemented by a range of fitted wall and base storage units incorporating an integrated oven, dishwasher and washing machine. A charming original bread oven provides a delightful reminder of the cottage's heritage, while a cupboard houses the Worcester gas-fired boiler and a side door offers convenient external access.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the open plan living space, creating a bright and airy triple aspect room that is perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining. From here, stairs rise to a reception room, currently arranged as a dining room but equally well suited as a home office, reading room or cosy snug.

From the sitting room, a separate staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where there are two generously proportioned bedrooms enjoying pleasant front and side aspects. Completing the accommodation is a spacious family bathroom, fitted with both a panelled bath and a separate shower, together with a contemporary heated towel rail.

The property is currently assessed for business rates rather than council tax as it is run as a holiday let.
