Cotswolds cottages: 2 for 1
Two semi detached cottages in a classic Cotswolds village have come to the market together offering the opportunity of converting them into a 7 bedroom home


Millbank House and Cool Bank Cottage are two halves of one building in the much-desired village of Winson in the Coln valley.
Millbank has four bedrooms, a sitting and dining room as well as stone-built outbuidings and a barn/garage. Its neighbouring cottage, Cool Bank, has three bedrooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and outbuildings. Subject to the usual consents, the two could make a seven bedroom family home.
According to the agents, Knight Frank, Cool Bank 'would benefit from a degree of updating', while Millbank House is in better condition and has an excellent two-storey extension which was added about six years ago.
Cool Bank's guide is £375,000 while Millbank House is asking £595,000, both through Knight Frank (01285 659771)
