Doyles Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a small, but well proportioned stone built period property in one of Gloucestershire’s most sought after villages. Due to high ceilings, large fire places, leaded mullion windows and wide split level staircase, Doyles Cottage has a feeling of grandeur that defies the overall size of the property.

Accessed via an attractive entrance porch, there is a reception hall, a spacious dual aspect sitting room with woodburning stove and a well proportioned farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a cast iron range. There are two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. Doyles Cottage provides an exciting opportunity for new owners to modernise and improve.

There is planning consent in place (Application Ref: 16/04953/ful) for a two storey extension to the northern elevation and the erection of an outbuilding with external staircase and ancillary accommodation above.

Situated in the picturesque Cotswold village of Southrop in the heart of the Cotswolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty skirted by the River Leach, and within easy commuting distance of major regional towns, Doyles Cottage offers a beautiful, bucolic setting from which to take advantage of the village’s day-to-day amenities, including an awardwinning Cotswold public house with restaurant.

The nearby characterful market towns of Lechlade and Burford offer a range of day-today amenities, while the nearby affluent market town of Cirencester gives access to a wide range of both independent and larger stores, together with boutiques, cafés and restaurants.

Swindon Railway Station has excellent connections to London, while the nearby M4 and M5 offer access to the motorway network. There are many local sporting opportunities including a number of golf courses and many equestrian events including National hunt racing at Cheltenham and polo at Cirencester Park.

The region offers a wide range of state schools including Southrop CofE Primary School and Farmor’s School, as well as a number of notable independent schools including Hatherop Castle School, Rendcomb College, Beaudesert Park and the Cheltenham Colleges.

The well-maintained fenced gardens are laid mainly to lawn and include a greenhouse, well-stocked flowerbeds, mature shrubs and trees. There is also a stone built store adjacent to the garage. The outlook from the property over the gardens is beautiful, with stunning views over neighbouring countryside.
