Description
Little Barrow is a three-storey townhouse positioned prominently on Lechlade’s high street. The property preserves numerous period features such as original fireplaces and exposed timber beams. The house requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, presenting a wonderful opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project in this desirable Cotswolds location.

Entry from the high street leads into a modest entrance porch, with a half Dutch door letting in plenty of natural light and opening into a ground floor snug. This intimate reception room is fitted with shutters and has an attractive period fireplace, complemented by exposed timbers and stonework visible throughout. A hallway leads to the bathroom and kitchen beyond.

On the first floor is a generously proportioned sitting room which functions as the main reception space. An original sash window overlooks the street, flooding the space with daylight, while a period fireplace, ornamental ceiling rose and exposed beam emphasise the property’s character. There is also a double bedroom on this level.

The second floor is within the roof space and contains the principal bedroom with a front-facing window and sloping ceilings. A small adjoining room looks out over the rear and offers flexible use as a dressing area, study or storage space.

The property opens directly onto the high street. To the rear lies a private courtyard garden fully enclosed by stone walls, creating a sheltered outdoor space. The garden has paving throughout with established raised planters adding greenery. A compact stone outbuilding provides storage, whilst a timber shed with electrical supply suits workshop use.
