Property description

THE PROPERTY This delightfully situated natural stone cottage style property enjoys an extremely attractive setting overlooking the Millennium Green at the foot of this famous hill.



Built in 2005 the well planned and neatly presented accommodation consists of above average sized entrance hall with cloakroom, fitted kitchen/dining room, above average sized lounge with window and French door onto rear garden, two excellent double bedrooms, the front of which enjoys the best of the views, and a bathroom with a modern white suite.



The house features traditional cottage style double glazed casement windows in keep with the Conservation Area, gas fired radiator central heating, easily maintained gardens to the front and rear and the valuable asset of two dedicated parking spaces.



The property is offered onto the market at £179,900 which is the owners' 70% stake of the £257,000 valuation agreed on behalf of Cotswold District Council. The appealing aspect of this arrangement is that the qualifying purchaser does not pay any rent to the Local Authority for the 30% that they do not own. 

DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of town the property is easily reached by proceeding down Gumstool Hill off The Market Place where the property will be seen in a row of four properties overlooking the Millennium Green.
