Tucked away on the historic Gloucester Street in the heart of Winchcombe, this handsome 18th-century stone cottage is a beautifully preserved example of Cotswold architecture. Grade II listed and lovingly restored throughout, the property offers a rare combination of character, craftsmanship, and quiet seclusion, all within walking distance of one of the region’s most sought-after market towns.The cottage stands proudly behind traditional stonework, its honey-coloured façade hinting at the care and history held within.
On entering, you’re welcomed into an inner hall, a gentle transition into the main living accommodation. The front-facing sitting room is rich in period detail, with exposed Cotswold stone walls, heavy timber beams and a wood-burning stove that brings both warmth and a natural focal point to the space. An arched opening leads into the dining area, where views over the garden and a wealth of original features add to the deep sense of heritage. The atmosphere throughout is one of timeless charm, tastefully complemented by sensitive modern updates.
To the rear of the property, the original kitchen has been transformed into a highly practical utility space, with integrated appliances including washer, dryer, and fridge freezer, along with generous storage and a ceramic sink. Across the hall lies a useful ground floor shower room and additional built-in storage. At the front of the cottage, the current kitchen—redesigned just two years ago—offers a striking contrast of old and new. Bespoke cabinetry, a Smeg range cooker, and carefully chosen integrated appliances sit comfortably within this sympathetically updated room, making it both functional and visually impressive.Upstairs, the cottage continues to delight with three double bedrooms, two of which face the front and capture the morning light, while the third overlooks the rear garden. Each room has its own character, with original features and peaceful outlooks. The family bathroom, recently refurbished, is finished in a classic style with panelled bath, WC, wash hand basin and fitted storage. Above, the loft has been partially converted and now offers a flexible space perfect for use as a study, reading nook, or simply as further storage.
Outside, the garden is a hidden gem—private, well-established, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the historic nature of the home. A stone-paved patio offers space for outdoor dining, while steps lead to a raised seating area under a pergola, cloaked in wisteria. Deeper into the garden, the plot subtly widens, revealing a tucked-away workshop or studio, a mature apple tree, and a further storage shed—all surrounded by an abundance of greenery.
Set within the historic town of Winchcombe—an area renowned for its heritage architecture, charming high street, and proximity to Sudeley Castle—this property sits at the very heart of the North Cotswolds. Winchcombe itself is a thriving yet peaceful community with independent shops, traditional inns, and breathtaking countryside walks in every direction, including direct access to the Cotswold Way. The town’s timeless appeal makes it a highly desirable location, whether for full-time residence or as a country retreat.This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Cotswold history—quietly elegant, deeply rooted in place, and ready to be treasured by its next owner.
Early viewing is strongly encouraged to appreciate the craftsmanship, setting and warmth this home so uniquely offers.
