Harnham LaneWithington, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL54 4DD

Rose Cottage occupies a delightful position at the heart of the sought-after village of Withington, located on the corner of two village lanes and beautifully framed by a mature rose over the entrance porch. Believed to date from the early 18th century, this charming, unlisted Cotswold stone cottage combines period character with modern practicality, having been thoughtfully extended to the rear to create flexible and well-balanced accommodation.

Rich in original features, the property retains much of its historic charm, with exposed beams, original doors, exposed stonework and an impressive inglenook fireplace creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. These characterful details are complemented by a tasteful, neutral décor that allows the architectural features to take centre stage.

An entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom and useful utility room, before steps ascend to the wonderful sitting room, a cosy yet light-filled space enjoying windows to two elevations. The kitchen/dining room is well appointed with a range of fitted units, an Aga range cooker and a separate conventional oven with gas hob, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. To the rear, a further reception room enjoys a lovely connection with the garden, with sliding French doors opening directly onto the terrace.

On the first floor, a generously proportioned landing provides an additional living space, perfectly suited as a study, reading area or informal sitting room. The principal bedroom is complemented by an adjoining second bedroom, which would make an excellent dressing room if desired. A further double bedroom is situation on this floor while the family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding bath and separate shower. Adding further flexibility, a detached garden studio complete with shower room offers an ideal home office, creative workspace or occasional guest accommodation.

Rose Cottage enjoys an enviable village setting with local amenities and an extensive network of surrounding footpaths. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to provide both privacy and enjoyment throughout the seasons, enclosed by attractive stone walls and mature planting. A paved terrace extends from the cottage and provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. To one side, an area of lawn captures the sun and creates a peaceful retreat, while to the other, a larger lawned garden is framed by mature trees, lending a wonderful sense of seclusion. Raised planting beds provide interest and colour, while a useful garden shed offers practical storage.
