A Beautifully Extended Character Cottage in a Sought-After Village Location!

Robinson David, Estate Agents in Gloucestershire, proudly present this truly unique and captivating three-bedroom end-terrace family home, situated on the fringe of open countryside in the ever-popular village of Whitminster, near Gloucester.

Originally dating back to the mid-1800s, this charming three-storey property has been thoughtfully extended and lovingly modernised, blending timeless character with a rural-contemporary flair. Set back with gated parking for comfortably three vehicles, and boasting a remarkable 200ft garden, this home is as practical as it is picturesque.

Step Inside:
Entering through the front door, you're welcomed into a beautifully designed kitchen dining room, where rustic charm meets modern living. Picture warm country tones, practical storage, and a kitchen window framing peaceful field views, with the occasional deer or cow! — The perfect spot for your morning coffee.

Beyond the kitchen lies a spacious living room, styled with a calming, modern-country aesthetic and anchored by a commanding wood-burning stove — enough to warm much of the home during the colder months. On the opposite side of the kitchen, a generous, high-ceiling utility room with triple-aspect light leads to a downstairs W/C and a charming barn-style split door opening out to the garden — ideal for pet owners, plant lovers, and coats, and muddy boots.

A Garden That Changes with the Seasons:
The garden, home to lots of wildlife and wraps around the home, unfolds across three distinct and delightful zones. There's a raised patio area, positioned to catch the evening sun, perfect for al fresco dining. A central lawn area, framed by trees and dotted with seating spaces, is great for entertaining or relaxing. Toward the far end, a gated wildflower garden offers a tranquil retreat, home to hedgehogs and rabbits, with rabbit warrens and log storage adding to its storybook charm.

Positioned towards the front of the garden, a fully fitted detached home office provides a professional workspace completely separate from the main house — a rare and valuable addition for today’s flexible lifestyles.

(There is a right-of-way footpath wrapping around the cottage, for the adjoining neighbour (No.2) to access the front of the property and to access their garden.)

Upstairs Living:
On the first floor, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is exceptionally spacious, featuring its own dressing area and a stylish, recently fitted en-suite bathroom with a rainfall shower. A beautifully finished family bathroom enjoys elevated views across the fields — bathed in morning light.

The second floor reveals an attic-room with a skylight, currently used as an additional home office, which can accommodate a double bed, with access to a mezzanine storage area above the master bedroom — clever, considered, and incredibly useful.

Location Highlights – Whitminster, Gloucestershire:
Set within the scenic Gloucestershire village of Whitminster, this property enjoys both rural peace and excellent convenience. The nearby Highfield Garden World is not just a gardener’s dream but a local favourite for its excellent cakes and cafés. You’ll find canal-side dog walks just minutes away at Saul Junction, and the area is rich in nature and wildlife — cows grazing, deer wandering, and sunsets that light up the fields in front of the home.

For dining and drinks, there are two welcoming pubs within walking distance — the historic Fromebridge Mill, listed in the Doomsday Book, and the beloved Old Forge Inn. And for those nights you don’t feel like cooking, a wide range of takeaway options are just around the corner.

Commuters will appreciate the easy access to the M5 motorway, offering swift connections to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, and beyond.

In the Words of the Current Owners:
"We’ve loved watching the sun rise over the back fields and set beyond the front garden — every day here has felt like a retreat. The garden’s seasonal changes are just magical, and the wildlife that visits us year-round has been a joy. The location, with its great neighbours, pubs, takeaways, and stunning dog walks, plus quick access to the M5, has made it perfect for our lifestyle.”
