Broadwell, Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire GL56

A characterful Grade II listed cottage, in the heart of a sought after village location

Description
April Cottage is a charming Grade II listed stone cottage. Dating back to the 19th century and believed to have originally been two separate cottages, it has been beautifully combined to create a characterful and inviting village home. Occupying a delightful position within the popular village of Broadwell, this property is rich in period features and enjoys a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere throughout. The property has been sympathetically improved and carefully maintained over the years, ensuring its character and charm are preserved while providing comfortable and practical living spaces.

The ground floor is full of warmth and personality. The country style kitchen is a particular highlight, fitted with an electric Everlast range, traditional butler sink and ample storage and work surfaces, with space for a table for dining. A lovely outlook over the garden adds to the appeal, making this a bright and sociable heart of the home.

The delightful sitting room offers a cosy retreat, centred around a feature fireplace with log burner and complemented by exposed stone walls and beams providing a perfect blend of character and comfort. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom and WC, providing a practical and thoughtful space for coats, boots and muddy paws.

The first floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, both light and spacious, with built in storage. The principal bedroom enjoys particularly attractive views over the village green, enhancing the sense of connection to this charming village setting. A well-appointed family bathroom serves both bedrooms.

On the second floor, a versatile further space provides excellent flexibility, ideal as a home office, study or additional storage area.

Throughout the cottage, the gentle changes in level and steps between rooms add a sense of intrigue and individuality. These subtle quirks enhance the cottage’s character, reflecting its historic origins and giving the house a wonderfully unique feel.

Outside, the garden is a delightfully landscaped space, framed by stone wall boundaries and an abundance of hedging, shrubs and colourful flowerbeds. A sunny patio area provides an ideal spot for relaxation and alfresco dining. The property also benefits from off road parking, a valuable feature within the village.
