3 bed cottage for sale

Canonbury Street, Gloucestershire GL13

Who lives well here?

Someone drawn to character and texture rather than gloss. A professional couple or downsizers who value history and a sense of belonging within Berkeley. Those who prefer the sound of church bells to traffic and shops they can walk to rather than drive to.

Why does it work?

Because it feels effortlessly settled. The current owner has lived here for nineteen years, first drawn by the building’s story and then by how gently it supports daily life. Believed to be around five hundred years old and shown on a 1543 map displayed in the Berkeley Arms, the house carries its history lightly. Thick stone walls naturally regulate temperature, while exposed beams and an open fireplace create atmosphere. Modern kitchen, bathroom and efficient boiler make everyday living simple.

Canonbury Street has a steady, neighbourly rhythm. The south-facing garden captures sun through the day - ideal for slow Sunday mornings. Parking is available opposite, and the town’s bakery, shops and local services are all within walking distance.

Where does it sit in your life?

In the heart of Berkeley, close to Berkeley Castle, markets and open countryside. With the M5 within easy reach and Bristol, Gloucester and Cheltenham accessible, it balances calm village life with practical connection - something the current owner will miss most
