Description

This Grade II Listed cottage, located in a central position within a picturesque Cotswold riverside town, offers an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. With origins believed to date back to the 17th century, this charming property showcases distinctive architectural features that could be further enhanced with thoughtful updates. The interior reflects historical character, featuring a sitting room that boasts an open-plan stairwell and a striking fireplace with a cut stone surround. The exposed ceiling beams add warmth and charm, while the generous windows invite natural light. The kitchen presents a practical layout with fitted units and space for dining, along with a rear door that connects to the outdoor areas. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile room suitable for use as a study or an additional bedroom, complete with an adjoining bathroom. Upstairs, the landing area features rustic timber floors and provides access to three unique bedrooms, each offering its own character and potential for reimagining. A shower room completes this level, featuring an interesting circular window that adds a touch of individuality. The outdoor space is significant; the expansive garden comprises a gravel terrace leading onto a lawn and decked patio area, surrounded by mature trees and established planting that create privacy. Notably, there's also a large timber studio within the garden—this structure holds promising potential for conversion into office space or creative studio work. Residing in Lechlade means benefitting from both history and community. This market town is known for its vibrant local amenities, including reputable schools, shops, restaurants, pubs, and healthcare facilities. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the River Thames for recreational activities such as boating or walking along its scenic paths. The location boasts excellent transport links as well. Swindon station is approximately 16 miles away with quick access to London Paddington. Additionally, major routes like the M4 are within easy reach, making it ideal for commuters or those looking to explore nearby attractions in Cirencester, Burford, Oxford, and Cheltenham. With no onward chain and vast renovation potential throughout its character-rich spaces, this cottage presents a valuable investment opportunity in one of the Cotswolds' most inviting towns.
