This lovely character home started life as part of a woollen mill, on the west side of Dyers Brook, the small river that runs through the middle of Wotton-under-Edge. The original mill was sub-divided and converted into two dwellings, this part now forming a spacious four-bedroom home laid out over four floors, with a large cellar below. Under its current ownership, the property has been lovingly cared for, thoughtfully updated, and improved throughout. To name a few, recent enhancements include new double-glazed windows and redecoration and carpets, resulting in a beautifully presented home that is ready for its new owner to move in and enjoy. Working from the ground floor up, there are entrance halls at each end, with a dual-aspect living room running front to rear - a spacious yet cosy space to sit by the wood-burning stove on those chillier days. There is also a cloakroom on this level and a door leading down to the cellar below. On the first floor, a smart fitted kitchen/dining/family room runs front to rear, with elevated views from the windows and some nice exposed stonework. The family bathroom is beautifully apointed, with both a roll-top bath for enjoying a good old soak in, plus a separate shower cubicle for convenience. Three bedrooms share the third floor landing, with a door opening out from a further staircase that leads up to the stunning principal bedroom in the attic, which has exposed beams and purlins, twin windows and twin skylights - letting light flood in. On the north side of the house there is gated off street parking and a generously proportioned garage. This area is split with the adjoining house. On the south side is a pretty cottage garden and al-fresco seating area, perfect for summer meals and drinks. Stepping out of the garden gate, a few metres along the lane, there is a separate area of garden, on two levels, the lower part dropping down to the side of Dyers Brook - a secluded spot to perhaps while away some time with a book (see map insert for details). If seclusion, character, space and adaptability are some of your 'watch-words', do come and take a look!
Directions
Waterloo Mill Cottage can be approached from two directions: either through the private gates at the end of the Potter's Pond Car-Park, or from the south, along a secluded no-through lane tucked away behind School Road/Dyers Brook, at the bottom of Ludgate Hill - see map insert for details.
Area Description
Known as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds,” Wotton-under-Edge is a historic market town dating back to Saxon times, situated on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment. Lying within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wotton-under-Edge was ranked as the happiest place to live in Gloucestershire by a survey in 2025 (https://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/news/25577652.wotton-under-edge-happiest-place-live-gloucestershire/). The High Street is lined with traditional stone buildings that house a variety of independent shops, cafés, a Tesco Express, a Co-operative mini-supermarket, The Falcon Steakhouse, and three public houses. The town is also home to the Ram Inn – a famous 13th-century public house now closed to visitors – as well as its own independent cinema, which has been operating since 1911. Junction 14 of the M5 lies approximately 5.1 miles away, offering convenient access for commuters to Bristol, Gloucester, and Cheltenham. Tetbury, home to the King’s residence, is just 10.1 miles from Wotton-under-Edge. Around 7 miles away, Cam and Dursley Railway Station provides rail connections to both Bristol and Gloucester until the opening of Charfield Railway Station, expected in Spring 2027 (https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/charfield-train-station/). For primary education, children can attend The Great British School or Bluecoat Primary School, with additional options available in nearby villages such as Charfield, Tortworth, and Hillesley. The prestigious Katharine Lady Berkeley’s Secondary School is located between the neighbouring village of Kingswood and the outskirts of Wotton-under-Edge, making it easily accessible on foot. Visitors may discover this charming town while walking the Cotswold Way. Additional leisure activities include a golf club and a refurbished open-air swimming pool, which operates seasonally.
