Hampton Fields, Minchinhampton

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this quintessential Cotswold stone cottage enjoys a wonderful rural outlook, and abundance of period characters and a peaceful setting within the hamlet of Hampton Fields.

Situated close to the historic market town of Minchinhampton, the property benefits from easy access to the town’s shops, amenities, beautiful common and well-regarded primary school. The current owner has enjoyed the property for approximately 40 years, originally restoring it to retain its charm and carefully maintaining its Cotswold character and period features.

The cottage is approached via a quiet lane, with useful off-street parking and an attractive iron gate enclosing the property, softened by established foliage. The Cotswold stone elevations and traditional stone-tiled roof create considerable kerb appeal, while the surrounding countryside provides a lovely outlook.

Throughout the cottage, a wealth of original features include deep-set windows, traditional monkey-tail latch fittings, exposed wooden beams and original wooden flooring.

The front door opens directly into the welcoming sitting room, which has original wooden flooring and an impressive stone fireplace housing an open fire. At the rear of the sitting room, stairs rise to the first floor and one of the bedrooms, while a stable door leads through to the smaller of the two bedrooms. This has space for a double bed and freestanding furniture, together with a pitched roof, exposed original beams and useful storage above the stairs. A further door leads through to the principal bedroom and incorporates clothes hanging rail, offering the potential to create a useful separate wardrobe area.

Continuing downstairs, the sitting room leads through into the dining room, which provides a lovely space for entertaining and everyday dining. A beautiful brass open fireplace creates an attractive focal point, with quarry tiles beneath. The kitchen is positioned beyond the dining room and is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry and wooden worktops. There is a stainless steel sink, four-ring gas hob and electric oven, together with space for a fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

Also leading from the dining room is a small hallway, laid with quarry tiles, which provides access to the bathroom and separate WC. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and wash basin and features cream tiling, a traditional column radiator and a particularly attractive stained-glass window.

A further staircase rises to the principal bedroom on the first floor. This is a good-sized room with space for a double bed and freestanding furniture, together with lovely views over the neighbouring fields and benefitting from a dual aspect.

Outside, the property is surrounded by a low-maintenance wraparound gravelled area, with space for outdoor seating and a useful log store providing additional storage.

The property is connected to mains gas, electricity and water, with drainage via a shared septic tank. Freehold. Council Tax Band D (Cotswold District Council).
