Convent Lane, Woodchester

Description

Currently a successful Airbnb, the cottage is in excellent condition throughout, seamlessly blending period charm with modern comfort. Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a light filled sitting room, where sripped floorboards, painted beams, and a delightful corner fireplace with a cast iron log burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere - perfect for cosy evenings. A dining area within this space makes it ideal for entertaining. The country style kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring wooden worktops, good storage and ample space for appliances. A door leads directly to the charming rear garden, extending the living space outdoors.

Stairs lead from the dining area to a spacious first floor landing, where the principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows framing delightful views. This generous room boasts wooden floorboards and a useful understairs cupboard. The contemporary shower room is beautifully appointed with a large walk-in shower, WC, and washbasin. A further staircase leads to the attic bedroom, a lovely double room with painted floorboards, a window overlooking the rooftops towards Rodborough Common and a Velux window that bathes the space in afternoon sunlight.

Outside

Outside, the front of the cottage offers a quaint space, ideal for a wooden bench to soak in the village ambiance. The rear garden features a charming courtyard perfect for al fresco dining, a decked area, and a pedestrian gate for convenient access. A delightful Cotswold stone outbuilding, currently used for storage, presents an exciting opportunity to be transformed into a home office or studio (subject to the necessary planning permissions). This is a true Cotswold gem, full of warmth and character - a must see for those seeking a home with charm, history, and a wonderful energy.
