4 bed detached house for sale

Bath Road, Frocester GL10

Nestled in serene countryside, this Grade II Listed Thatched Cottage dates back to 1523. Originally two cottages, its timber-framed structure retains charming features like elegant fireplaces, exposed beams, and rustic flagstone floors. Thoughtful extensions blend traditional allure with modern comforts, and planning has been approved for a larger extension, adding a bedroom and extended dormer window to enhance countryside views. The ground floor includes a light-filled sitting room with an open inglenook fireplace, a living room with exposed timbers and wood-burning stove, a garden room, and a kitchen/breakfast room with storage, utility, and bathroom. A spiral staircase in the garden room leads to a unique first-floor bedroom, while the main house's first floor offers three more bedrooms, including a master with an ensuite featuring a copper bathtub. There’s potential to relocate the kitchen to the conservatory and convert the kitchen area into a large bathroom with views of the Cotswold hills.

Outside

The cottage is situated in 0.59 acres on a spacious level plot. A driveway and detached double garage with previous planning permission is in place by the current vendors for an office space / 5th bedroom above the garage with a Juliet balcony to take in the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Electric gates have planning approved to create a grander entrance with ample parking space for several vehicles and an added level of security. The garden is well-tended, mostly laid to lawn and includes a charming seating area positioned next to the garden room. Dotted with an assortment of trees and shrubs, the garden exudes tranquillity.
