Nestled beside St Mary’s Church, Half a Crown Cottage boasts its own rich history, having once been the 19th-century Crown Inn beerhouse before its conversion into two private residences in the late 20th century. Situated along Kingswood’s High Street, one of the most historic parts of this charming village, home to the Abbey Gatehouse—the only remaining structure of Kingswood Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1139 by William of Berkeley and dissolved in 1538 under Henry VIII. The property welcomes you with a practical porch, ideal after walks along the Cotswold Way, leading into two adjoining reception rooms featuring an inglenook fireplace, exposed wooden beams, and a cosy yet versatile layout. A well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, sun room, and downstairs shower room complete the ground floor, while upstairs offers three bedrooms—two doubles to the front and a single with views of the church and built-in storage—alongside a family bathroom. Outside, a pretty courtyard garden enjoys the afternoon sun, and the home benefits from a single garage with driveway parking and a recently installed central heating system. Full of character and ideally located near Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School, a primary school, and local amenities, this delightful cottage is ready for its next chapter.
