Semi-detached house for sale in Newnham GL14, 3 Bedroom

Built in 1850, Bear Cottage is an immaculately presented Grade II listed house occupying a central position in the ever popular village of Newnham on Severn, Gloucestershire. The property was the final addition to the neighbouring house formally the Bear Inn, a coaching inn used by travellers crossing the River Severn. This handsome three bedroom home has been recently and expertly restored by the current owners to create a property with all the comforts of modern living whilst retaining many of the original features. The spacious, well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over three floors to include a cosy snug with flagstone floor and Aga/stove, an attractive sitting room and a useful utility/cloakroom area. The large cellar has been cleverly converted to create a fabulous kitchen/dining room, perfect for large gatherings and entertaining. There are three beautifully presented double bedrooms with the master being en-suite and a family bathroom. To the side of the house is the secure terraced garden where a sheltered flagstone courtyard provides a private outside entertaining space and on the upper level a place to enjoy restful views of the River Severn. Newnham village offers a range of amenities to include shops, Post Office, church, nursery, primary school and pub all within easy reach of major road and rail networks.
