Old Bussage, Bussage, Stroud

The original cottages that form the west side of Cavanbah are built of local stone, we believe the cottages date back to 1855. Over the last 50 years, these cottages have been incorporated into one building, extended, and renovated. Further renovations and improvements by ourselves.

A beautiful example of village living nestled amongst period homes. A detached stone cottage
located in the heart of Old Bussage, a private driveway leads you to the property with a wealth
of parking up to a detached double garage.

The current owners have taken considerable care and attention to detail, to sympathetically
restore and modernise the cottage. Having combined beautiful period features with modern
living.

The cottage is in an area known as Old Bussage which has many stone houses of the same period, linked together with quiet, narrow lanes - making it one the best kept secrets of the Cotswolds. We have found the community to be welcoming, helpful and friendly. Close by, there are playing fields and a beechwood, which are great for children, dogs, and people of all ages. Also close by are the Village Hall and the ancient Church of St Michael. The Ram Inn is a particularly popular pub and restaurant which is within a short stroll from the property. Further afield, there are woods, villages and communities that have made it such a wonderful location to live.

Bussage and Eastcombe are neighbouring hilltop villages which are easily reached on foot or by car. Here you will find a Primary School, Thomas Keeble Secondary School, Tesco, Boots, Post Office, Medical Centre and Petrol Station. Also bus service within the village to Stroud.
