White Cottage, Stourton, Shipston-On-Stour, CV36

A charming detached period cottage occupying an attractive rural position in Stourton, offering an abundance of character, two generous bedrooms and delightful countryside surroundings. Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking an individual home with traditional features and scope to personalise further.

The cottage is approached beneath a traditional timber porch, with the front door opening into a characterful entrance hall and reception space. Exposed ceiling beams, timber detailing and a feature fireplace immediately introduce the period charm found throughout the property, while the room itself provides useful additional living or dining space.

From here, the accommodation flows into a welcoming lounge, where exposed ceiling timbers, traditional framing and an attractive stone fireplace create a particularly warm and characterful setting. Windows to more than one aspect allow for plenty of natural light and add to the cottage atmosphere.

To the rear is a fitted kitchen with a range of Shaker-style units, contrasting work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, together with space for further appliances. Terracotta-style tiled flooring complements the traditional feel, while an external door provides access to the outside. A useful ground-floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.

The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where traditional boarded doors and exposed timbers continue the character of the cottage. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous room with built-in storage and windows to two aspects. The second bedroom is also well proportioned and features further built-in storage, an exposed beam and an attractive inset stained-glass detail.

The first-floor bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin, complemented by painted panelling and a window overlooking the surrounding greenery.

Outside, the cottage enjoys an appealing setting with gravelled areas, garden space and a paved patio to the rear. Its white-painted elevations, natural stone gable and traditional tiled roof give the property an attractive cottage appearance, while the surrounding countryside provides a wonderful rural backdrop.

With its blend of exposed beams, traditional timber doors, feature fireplaces and individual period detailing, this is a home with genuine personality. Combined with its detached position, countryside setting and the significant advantage of being offered with no onward chain, it is well suited to buyers looking for a character property they can make their own.
