3 bedroom for sale, Berrycroft, Gloucestershire, GL13

Bought with the heart as much as the head, this beautifully restored three-bedroom cottage offers professional first-time buyers the rare opportunity to own a period home where the hard work has already been done.

The current owner has sympathetically transformed the property, investing in extensive improvements including rewiring, replastering and a replacement rear roof, alongside a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. It means you can move straight in and enjoy the character without inheriting a renovation project.

Natural light fills the generous living spaces, where original features, fireplaces and the distinctive Berkeley stone tiled floor remind you of the home's history, while thoughtful modern updates make everyday living effortless. Two reception areas provide flexibility for home working, entertaining or simply unwinding after a busy day.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers a peaceful escape, surprisingly private for a town-centre location.

Living in Berkeley is about more than the house itself. Independent cafés, coffee shops, pubs, local shops and everyday amenities are all within walking distance, while Berkeley Castle, the Jenner Museum and beautiful countryside provide history and nature on your doorstep. Excellent access to the A38, M5 and Cam & Dursley railway station also makes commuting to Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham refreshingly straightforward.

A home with history, thoughtfully restored for modern life and ready for its next chapter.
