Country cottage just looks better with age

There are beams aplenty in this character filled Grade II listed country house, reports Alison Jones

Ancient wooden doors, exposed beams and trusses and the black and white brick and timber exterior all speak to the long history of Wood Street Cottage in Wood Street, Bushley, near Tewkesbury.

The village home’s traditional looks are being . Inside there are large open fires, natural flooring and a plethora of beams that criss cross the walls and ceilings.

However, it is not without its contemporary comforts, including smart bathrooms and a comfortable fitted kitchen.

On the ground floor there is a porch entrance and a charming reception hall with oak floor, exposed beams and a guest cloakroom.

To the left hand side there is a sitting room with views over the surrounding countryside. A warm and peaceful room, it has an inglenook fireplace with a log burner.

There is another inglenook fireplace in the dining room, again with a log burner inside it. Built from exposed brick, it still has the original bread oven.

A door leads from the dining room into a second hallway which has a tumbled marble floor and a second cloakroom.

This hallway leads through to the spacious kitchen which has a flagstone floor and is fitted with a range of painted units with wooden worktops over. It has a large central island and the appliances include an electric range oven with gas hob and extractor over and an integral dishwasher. Double doors lead out to the back garden.
