The cottage blends traditional features with comfortable modern living, with a layout that flows naturally from one room to the next. It would suit a wide range of buyers, from those looking for a permanent home to anyone seeking a countryside retreat or a property with potential for holiday letting.

A pathway leads to the composite wood-effect front door, sheltered beneath a storm porch.
The entrance hall is welcoming, with wooden flooring, space for coats and shoes and stairs rising to the first floor.
The sitting room has a wonderfully cosy feel, with a window to the front enjoying open countryside views and a log burner creating a natural focal point. The room opens through into a generous dining or snug area, where whitewashed beams add character and help create a relaxed, sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. Wooden flooring continues throughout, with a useful under-stairs cupboard providing additional practicality.
To the rear is the fitted dining kitchen, arranged with soft grey wall and base cabinets, wooden worktops and a Belfast sink positioned beneath the window overlooking the garden.

A note from our vendor:
We moved to The Hollies three and a half years ago and have loved every moment here. It is a beautiful cottage set in a truly special location. Before moving, we knew very little about Lower Framilode and the surrounding areas, but it has exceeded all expectations.
Lower Framilode is a small riverside hamlet on the banks of the River Severn, surrounded by open countryside. There are endless walks straight from the door, perfect for dog walking, with fields and paths all within a couple of minutes. The area feels peaceful and safe, with a real sense of community and lovely views across the river and farmland.
There is a great choice of local pubs nearby, including The Bell Inn in Frampton, The Ship Inn at Upper Framilode, and The Red Lion in Arlingham. Frampton also offers a village shop and the beautiful Frampton Court Estate, which hosts popular events throughout the year such as the Frampton Country Fair. The village green is a lovely spot in the summer, ideal for sitting outside while children can play.
The nearby canal at Saul is another highlight, with a café and a scenic towpath perfect for walking, running, or cycling. For those who enjoy the water, paddleboarding and kayaking are also popular along the canal and nearby River Frome.
We have truly loved both the house and the area, and it has been a wonderful place to live. Our move is only due to needing more space as our family grows.This is a charming and well-proportioned cottage with a genuine sense of character, offering flexible accommodation in a peaceful countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of Saul, Stonehouse and Gloucester.
