3 bed cottage for sale

School Road, Alderton, Tewkesbury GL20

Step into this double-fronted period cottage in the heart of the village, where character meets a thoughtfully designed layout. Beyond the entrance hall and cloakroom, a spacious reception hall doubles as a study area. This leads to a cosy sitting room, complete with an exposed stone wall, wood-burning stove, and herringbone flooring. The ground floor opens into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area that flows into a family room, where bi-fold doors reveal a private, sunny, south-facing garden.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, including two generous doubles. Unusually for a period home, the first floor features two bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite to the primary bedroom. Outside, the garden offers a tranquil retreat with a sweeping lawn, mature flower beds, and two seating areas, one with an inset well with glass top and fitted lighting. This delightful home perfectly balances its period charm with a practical, modern configuration, all within a sought-after village setting.
