Tucked away in the peaceful village of West Littleton, this beautifully presented detached cottage offers a unique blend of period charm and contemporary living.

Originally two cottages dating back to around 1800, the property has been sensitively extended and transformed by the current owners into a spacious and stylish country home. Set across two floors, the accommodation includes a welcoming open-plan kitchen and dining area – with an island and French doors opening directly onto a generous south-facing patio – a cosy yet spacious living room with a stunning Cotswold stone fireplace, and a practical utility space. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and one single, including a lovely dual-aspect guest room and a principal suite, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. ‘Only one room remains the same shape as when we moved in,’ the owners explain. ‘We reconfigured the entire layout, added a two-storey extension, fitted a new kitchen and bathrooms, and updated all the electrics and plumbing. It’s been a labour of love, resulting in a very comfortable home.’ Located within a conservation area and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully private setting. The absence of shops or a pub in the village means no through traffic, and the sense of peace and stillness is immediate. ‘You’re only a short drive to Bath, Bristol or the M4, but it feels like a world away,’ the owners note.

‘The community is an incredibly friendly one with low-key annual events, like a concert in the church followed by food. People genuinely look out for each other – we’ve never been short of offers to put the bins out when we’re away.’

‘The living room is our favourite space – thick stone walls keep it cool in summer, and the log burner makes it feel so warm in winter. There's even a hidden desk tucked behind cupboards – great for working from home.’

‘A nice feature when having people to stay is the small ensuite to the principal bedroom, meaning guests tend to get use of the family bathroom all to themselves.’

‘The garden is perfect for entertaining, with a large sunny patio that flows naturally from the kitchen. Most of our get-togethers have ended up outside – it’s such an inviting space.’

‘With sweeping views, a welcoming feel, and access to countless footpaths and bridleways, this is a truly special home in a magical setting.’
