Situated in the highly desirable village of Lower Dowdeswell, just 4 miles from the center of Cheltenham, Hill Cottage offers the best of both worlds. The property is located in a peaceful location overlooking open fields to the south and with direct access to a network of footpaths and bridleways yet is only a few minutes' drive from the thriving festival town of Cheltenham.

The house itself has enormous character and plenty of period features and has been extended by the current owners to provide excellent living accommodation. At ground floor level there is a large sitting room with French doors to the garden and a picture window to the southerly views and this expanse of glass provides excellent levels of natural light. There is also a fireplace with an open grate.

To the front of the house there is a lovely atmospheric dining room with exposed beams, stone mullion windows to front and rear and an inglenook fireplace. Across the entrance hall there is a kitchen with a range of fitted cabinets and built-in appliances. The kitchen leads through to a breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and French doors leading out to the rear terrace, a fabulous suntrap with a southerly aspect.

Beyond the breakfast room there is a boot room with a door to the front drive and this in turn leads to the utility room with further fitted cupboards and plumbing for the washing machine.

On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms and a smartly appointed modern bathroom. There is also a shower room situated off the inner hall at ground floor level.

Outside, a gravel drive provides ample parking and access to the detached double garage with automated doors. Above the garage and accessed via an external staircase there is a large room, ideal for a home office. There are lawned gardens to the east and west of the house and a sheltered courtyard terrace to the south side, enclosed to three sides.

Agents Note: A public footpath runs along the northern boundary of the property.


The rural community of upper and lower Dowdeswell is situated just 4 miles for the thriving spa town of Cheltenham and the village is centred around the Anglican church of St Michael.

The Cotswold Way and Cleeve Common are near- by, giving good access to footpaths and bridleways.

The old Roman town of Cirencester and the attractive town of Stow-on-the-Wold are both easily accessible by car and both offer an excellent alternative to Cheltenham for shopping and recreational facilities.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
