The Forty, Cricklade, SN6

Charming detached two-bedroom cottage in historic Cricklade, full of character with exposed beams, sunny garden, countryside walks nearby and easy access to local amenities.

Situated in the heart of the historic Saxon town of Cricklade, on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, this utterly charming detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique home full of character and warmth. Believed to date back over 200 years, the property is bursting with period charm, from its exposed beams to its wonderfully quirky layout, making it unlike anything else on the market.

The ground floor is centred around a spacious yet cosy reception/dining room, flooded with natural light and offering the perfect space for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests. The kitchen sits separately, while a delightful conservatory enjoys lovely views across the garden and provides an ideal spot to unwind throughout the seasons.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom enjoying generous proportions and the second bedroom ideal as a guest room, nursery or home office.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a beautifully maintained rear garden that enjoys sunshine throughout the day, creating a true sun trap perfect for morning coffees, al fresco dining and keen gardeners alike. The garden also provides direct access onto the former railway line walk, leading to open countryside, the Thames Path and an abundance of
scenic walks — ideal for nature and animal lovers.

Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from Cricklade’s thriving High Street, residents can enjoy a fantastic selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs and eateries, all while benefiting from the peaceful charm of this sought-after market town.

A truly special cottage combining history, character, lifestyle and location in equal measure.
