Back Lane, Winchcombe

Tucked away in an elevated position in the heart of Winchcombe, Union Cottage is a rather special find. This detached character home enjoys a wonderfully private feel, set back from the road and looking out across the rooftops, yet remains just a short stroll from the town's high street. Extended and thoughtfully improved by its current owners, it brings together all the charm of a period cottage with the comforts and energy efficiency of modern living.
Step inside and the character begins immediately. The living room is a generous, welcoming space, with an exposed stone wall, a fireplace housing a cosy log burner and an entire wall of cleverly built-in bookshelves.
Beyond, the impressive kitchen and family room is the real heart of the home. Extended to create a fabulous space for entertaining, the kitchen offers plenty of storage, a range-style cooker, Belfast sink and full-stave oak worktops. There's room for dining and a snug area too, making this a space that works just as well for a lively supper with friends as it does for a quiet Sunday morning. Bi-fold doors open onto the garden, while a rear window and rooflight flood the room with natural light. A handy cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer plenty of room for family, guests or home office. The landing is generous, and the modern family bathroom is finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling and a shower over the bath.
Outside, the elevated front garden is a lovely retreat with a patio seating area, lawn, mature borders and plenty of privacy.  To the rear, a fantastic storage area provides all the practical space you could need, without the need for a garage.
And for energy efficiency, Union Cottage has solar panels with battery storage, helping to make this charming home wonderfully efficient.
