House For Sale £385,000
Edison Ford are delighted to welcome this three-bedroom cottage, located within the rural and peaceful location of Swanley Lane. The cottage is full of historic character and charm and dates back to 1790 as a farm cottage. The current owners purchased the property in 2012 and have completely renovated and restored the cottage to include;- A new central heating system with a boiler controlled by lpg gas, a partial rewire, a new kitchen and bathroom suite as well as significant external improvements to include;- The repointing of the chimney stack, rendering and new guttering added.
This property is ideally located and would make a wonderful family home or as an investment opportunity and has a great deal of potential to add additional accommodation. A planning application was previously approved to build a two-storey extension to the side of the property (now lapsed) and could potentially be reinstated subject to a small charge.
The cottage is located on the outskirts of Berkeley which is a lovely small town located between Bristol and Gloucester, in the English county of Gloucestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds. Berkeley benefits from a thriving community that is served by its own convenience store with Post Office, two churches, as well as family-friendly public houses and a popular primary school. The Tortworth estate can also be reached within 5 minutes and the nearby market town of Wotton-under-Edge is some 6 1/2 miles away and offers a wide range of shops within the High Street, together with local amenities including a library, cinema and public swimming pool. Dursley is also approximately 6 miles from the property and has three main supermarkets, to include, Sainsburys, Tesco and Lidl. There is also a monthly farmers market that takes place, offering a wide array of local products.
